  • "This is the second time we have stayed at Pilchard Cottage and loved it!"

    We adore Sennen cove and the cottage is in easy reach of the sea and some local eating places. Views are beautiful and the surrounding area magnificent.

  • "I‘ve been holidaying in Cornwall, mainly Sennen Cove for 40 years and have stayed in numerous houses from 2 person to 12 people sizes and pubs, B&Bs and camped."

    I have to say this is one of the best, more than large enough for 6 people, equipped with everything you could possibly need, superb in and outdoor space and the perfect location.

  • "An exceptionally well equipped and maintained property, very comfortable and ideally situated close to the village shop, the cafe and the RNLI station in Sennen Cove plus wonderful views and a 5 minute walk to the magnificent beach of Whitesands Bay."

    Great for families.

  • "We had a lovely time staying in Pilchard Cottage, which is a fantastic property!"

    The only reason we would hesitate to book again with Sykes is because of our booking experience. As explained, we were unable to make payment on 31st July because of problems with the website. When we tried again the following day the cost had been increased by £80. After calling, we were advised to contact your marketing department (which we did). Sadly we never received a reply. Instead, we were given an ultimatum to make payment or the cottage would be released (which wasn't very nice). Even when we eventually managed to make the payment, it still took four or five attempts to go through. We felt strongly that cottage should have been offered to us at the advertised price when we made the booking and tried to pay. It is for this reason only that we are more likely to book through other agencies we have used before going back to Sykes again. That said, we did all have a wonderful time staying in Sennen. Regards Mark.

  • "Great week at Pilchard Cottage."

    Location is fab with two parking spaces. We parked a third in the carpark all week for £5/24hrs via the parking app. Garden was a suntrap and lovely views from the balcony. House was very clean and tidy and v well equipped kitchen. Full fridge and freezer too. Bedrooms were all a good size. Would definitely stay again

  • "In general the stay was fine bar general cleaning by, I presume, the contractors and the ongoing works at No 1 Harbour Mews."

    On arrival @ advised 4pm, we had travelled earlier that day, the cleaning team were not close to completion. Although apologetic on entering it was clear the job had been rushed - or at least I hope it had otherwise there's a wider problem. Kitchen sink had food debris, a shower in the bedroom had significant amount of hair in the plug. The bathroom floor in the 1st floor bathroom and 'en-suite' needed to be cleaned before we used; there was no foot mat in the downstairs bathroom. The complimentaries, I would do away with as the cleaning kit is practically no use whilst Cheese (yes Cheese) scones from Sainsbury's with a 1 day date on them don't go that well with Jam and Clotted Cream As we arrived we were also unable to park as the allocated outside space was taken up by building contractors, an issue that occurred several times during the week whilst other work during the period necessitated us having to request the guys moved their plant machinery. Obviously on completion this will not be of any concern - would have been nice though if they had taken packaging away as opposed to stockpiling against the letter box! The guys themselves were accommodating. One is easily remedied, the other will naturally stop and overall, as the score suggests, we had a good holiday - it is the little things

    We are very sorry to hear that the cleanliness of our property fell below our high standards. We have met with the cleaning company and understand that your arrival day had been particularly difficult for them, but that is no excuse for the lack of basic hygiene you encountered. As for cheese scones ...... this will not be repeated! Unfortunately we were not aware that there was building work going on next door but one. This is now completed so should not be a problem in the future, but we can only apologise for the frustration this must have caused you. Property Owner
