"Loved it. Only a few grumbles."
Sofa is dated and could be more comfortable. No baking tray but didn't bother me. Mattress is very soft which gave me back pain but that is because I suffer with back pain and need a firm mattress so personal to me. Others would love a soft mattress.

"The accommodation was lovely, very cosy and very clean."
John the owner was very helpful and told us to get in touch if we needed anything. Unfortunately we didn’t get to travel around much as we were called home for family reasons. We would definitely stay at the annexe again and recommend it to anyone.

"John is a nice man but the accommodation smelt very musty, we had to buy fresh air spray and spray every morning and evening."
There is black mould all around the tiles in the toilet and along some of the skirting board in the bedroom. A large rotter hole in the toilet door frame.
Overall the shower area and the general decoration is out dated.
The sofa is most uncomfortable.
We have noticed that other people have liked the accommodation but not us.
This does not come anywhere near the standard that we have enjoyed in other places that we have booked through you.
Sadly we will have to think twice before we book again through you.
Sincerely,
Kevin Duffy.

"We were very disappointed with the cottage; having stayed at many Sykes cottages this was the worst."
The owner John was very welcoming and helpful but the whole cottage is 'tired' The settee and mattress are saggy and need replacing. The cottage felt damp (john was having trouble with the storage heaters and provided 2 very efficient fan heaters which seemed to warm the air but not the fabric of the building - the situation improved as the week went on as we turned the heating up and opened the windows. The bed linen was fine but the heavy cover on the bed smelt sour. The kitchen was small but well equipped (one small grouse - could an extra 2 mugs be provided?) but to say the cottage had a dining space, while true, is misleading, 2 small chairs and a table not much bigger than a skateboard! The bathroom was tiny, only just big enough to function. The 'courtyard garden' was a narrow space down the side of the cottage which didn't get any sun and was therefore dark and damp, not the open area shown on the photo. Rescorla is not a village, it is a street with houses on it - no pub, no shop, these are in Penwithick, a good mile away. And finally the 'off street parking' was on such a steep slope that we scraped the bottom of the car each time we parked, and judging by the marks on the ground we weren't the first.
Thank goodness we had fine, sunny weather and were able to get out each day!
We didn't mention most of this to John as a) nothing could be done about most things and b) he was so pleasant we didn't want to upset him about things he couldn't change.

"We really enjoyed our stay at The Annexe Laburnum."
John was there to greet us and we found the cottage spotlessly clean and very welcoming. The weather was not great during our stay but the cottage is so cosy and comfortable that staying in some mornings/evenings was a pleasure. The kitchen is well equipped, the shower was always hot and the bed ever so comfy! The situation of the cottage is easy access to all parts of Cornwall. We have no hesitation in recommending The Annexe Laburnum for your next visit to Cornwall!
Thank you, John!

"The property is comfortable, clean and very well presented."
The view from bedroom window is beautiful.
The owners contacted me to ensure that everything was ok with getting settled in and were on hand to answer my questions over where to put rubbish for collection.
Couldn't have asked for nicer hosts.
Although the property is just off the beaten track it is well furnished with everything you could need to ensure a good stay. Lovely quiet setting with views across fields.
I would highly recommend it.

Cornwall is an absolute delight with so many hidden treasures, whether it's picturesque villages which have retained their charm, or unspoilt beaches with their rock pools, coves and soaring cliffs. A county you would never tire of exploring.
