This is our third stay at the cottage great setting lovely cottage owners very friendly and really nice people we love staying here and enjoyed our stay and no doubt will return the only downside the cleaners didn’t do a very good job also the fridge could probably do with replacing as the door seal has gone I know it’s self catering but one toilet roll between 3 people is a bit stingy these are only minor issues easily addressed and didn’t have any impact on a lovely and enjoyable week away in this idilic setting

"This cottage is amazing."
The location is great for visiting the local towns and beaches. A real home from home with everything you could possibly need. Washing machine tumble dryer dish washer, all the kitchen items you may need, even snack boxes for picnics! The owners are always friendly helpful and welcoming. The farm land surrounding the cottage is great to explore. Safe secure garden is a bonus. We absolutely love it here, this was our 4th stay with 3 children and we are returning next year. Couldn't think of a better place to stay in cornwall!

"The cottage was lovely, bright and airy and very clean."
There was a lovely welcome pack of tea/coffee! Hot chocolate, biscuits and wine!! It was further outside of Padstow than we anticipated but easily within driving distance. There was a lovely enclosed garden and lots of lovely wildlife. We saw endless robins and birds of prey and were even visited by a peahen.
The only thing I would add was there was often a race for the bathroom as there was only one. We will be coming back next year!!

"The cottage was absolutely lovely."
The only slight downside was that it is incredibly hard to find in the dark. We arrived late and struggled to find the driveway. The written instructions were not that helpful in the dark. If the directions referenced to follow signs for the farm shop from the cross roads and then the turning would be on the left this might be better. Also the bed linen (sheets mainly) are very tired and worn, we popped into Truro to buy new ones for our stay as the ones provided were not comfortable.
We had a fantastic stay and we would absolutely book again.
Thank you for your feedback, we are incredibly pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, we are sorry you had difficulty in finding the property, we have asked the owner to check over the directions we provide incase we can improve on them at all to assist future guests. We hope to welcome you back to The Westcountry in the near future. We can also confirm that the linen was new on the beds

"The location and size of the property was great."
The pillows on the bed were/are awful, really cheap and thin. The mattress in the master bedroom was also lumpy and uncomfortable on one side. Another disappointment was the complete lack of ANYTHING in the kitchen other than 1 bin liner and some washing up liquid was very mean. Considering how much we paid for the cottage it was like the absolute bare minimum was provided for us. We stayed for two weeks and no cleaning after week one was not great either.
Hello, I am sorry that the cottage was a disappointment. We agree that the mattress and pillows had fallen below an unacceptable standard. We have replaced all of the pillows and ordered a new mattress for the main bed.
I am afraid that we were away for the very week you arrived and that there may have been a breakdown in the normal procedures. In the kitchen I think you did have the normal welcome pack of wine and biscuits, milk, tea and coffee, etc. But also in the kitchen we should have provided cleaning products, dishwasher tablets etc as well as several bin bags and recycling bags etc. If it these were not there I apologise. We were not aware that a lot more than this is expected and will liaise with CCH to see how we can improve on this front.
Anybody staying for 2 weeks is always offered the option to have a complete clean and at the very least a linen change and again we are not sure how this did not take place. or that contact was not made to see if you required this. (a lot of people prefer to not be disturbed) I have asked CCH to put in place a protocol to ensure this doesn't happen again.

"The cottage is located on the most wonderful farm which you can walk all around."
The owners are very friendly and are more than happy to chat when you see them around the farm.
The cottage’s location means it’s blissfully peaceful with only the sound of birds twittering (and the peacocks of course!) from the many trees so you’re able to relax from the second you arrive which is what a holiday is for.
The cottage is spotlessly clean with plenty of crockery and glasses. The double bed, with the metal frame, which we slept in was so comfortable and the bedroom has lots of storage.
The whole cottage has a very light and open feel which is wonderful and with so many windows and so many beautiful views it’s a real pleasure to come back at the end of the day.
It’s in the perfect location for us as we love Harlyn Bay and Padstow. It’s easy to get to all the attractions you’ll want to visit. We loved it so much we’ve booked to come back next year and we can’t wait!

Thank you for your comments. We are really disappointed that you did not contact us at the time of your stay when we could have taken action as necessary. The owners live nearby and were unaware of any issues, they would have been more than happy if you had let them know so that they could have dealt with any issues. We have not received any comments regarding the house being damp and cold, we will however keep an eye on reviews and take action if required.

"Lovely, peaceful place which, although its on a working farm, is cleverly positioned so that it feels as though its on its own."
This means that you don't see any of the farm traffic or other people unless you want to. Lots of good dog-walking country in surrounding area and the cottage itself is clean, has plentiful hot water, a thoughtful welcome pack (much appreciated, thank you) and everything else you could need. Plenty of space to park, dog-friendly gardens and it all feels nicely safe and secure. My one suggestion would be to improve/update the garden furniture, currently its an unmovable (heavy) picnic bench but that's a very minor issue. The real delight is no road-traffic noise and minimal light pollution, falling asleep under starlight and waking up to bird song is exactly what a holiday ought to be about. Its also within 4/5 miles of half a dozen beaches and bays and the south west coast path.

Unfortunately the cottage wasn’t quite what we were expecting. It’s a bit tired - paint peeling, kitchen units falling apart, beds are past their best with lumpy mattresses. Shower was either freezing or too hot to stand under, took a very long time to get temperature ok. The whole property was very dusty with cobwebs everywhere.
Overall it’s a lovely cottage - just needs to be updated. Certainly doesn’t warrant the four ticks you have given it. I just wonder when the last time Sykes checked it over.
