  • "Clean & Tidy but being hard on the road not suitable for older folk like us and families with young toddlers, the absence of a pavement on the corner of the Ring o' Bells is positively dangerous."

    Describing the church car park as directly opposite the property is so wrong, it's well over 100m up the road. Internally there's much to be improved. Both toilet seats need replacing, the hot water runs out after only a few minutes, the downstairs toilet door doesn't shut. We unfortunately had a poor weather week and despite my best efforts l couldn't get the central heating to come on and there were no instructions to help.

  • "Sunflower Cottage is in an ideal location for exploring North Cornwall."

    The cottage itself is brilliantly equipped, one of the best equipped homes we have ever stayed in. It was very clean and obviously well looked after, beds were very comfortable. We didn't attempt to get our car in the garage as although we only had a Toyota Aygo, the turning space in front of the garages was a big tight, this is pointed out in the description so we knew before we booked. We parked in the church car park opposite which was no hardship at all. We were very happy with everything and would certainly recommend Sunflower Cottage and Sykes Holiday Cottages.

    Thank you for your comments, its lovely to have great feedback. Property Owner

    Also near to Wadebridge for a good choice of shops including some lovely homeware places. The cottage is nicely decorated and has a well stocked kitchen which makes it feel more like a home.

  • "Lovely cottage but could have used a mop as the floors were quite dirty and sticky."

    Parking is not really on site as the garage could not hold anything bigger than a seventies mini. One of the stools was missing the top but it probably went unnoticed as the previous occupier must have just put it back and left it. Otherwise everthing as qdvertised and expected.

    Thank you for your feedback, and we are glad to hear that you loved the cottage. I have checked with our cleaner and she has assured me she swept and mopped the floor; however, she is always happy to return if there is a problem, so next time please do not hesitate to contact us or Sykes for any concern . We do advertise the property as having a small garage, however next time if you are worried that your car would not fit please contact Sykes before making the booking so that we can provide with the accurate measures. We don't have any stools so we are confused about this comment? However again thank you for your feedback and we hope to see you back soon. Property Owner

    Great location & very handy for Padstow & The Camel Trail. Parking anything bigger than a mini in the garage is virtually impossible, but there is roadside parking nearby. The cottage is large and very comfortable & has everything you could need.

The property

Located in the popular Cornish hamlet of St Issey, Sunflower Cottage offers a great base for exploring the North Cornwall Coast.

Its proximity to popular locations such as Padstow and Newquay, as well as plenty of beaches, makes the cottage a winning choice for walkers or families.

Step into Sunflower Cottage and you will find yourself in the hall area, with plenty of space for hanging coats and leaving your walking boots.

From here you will see the bright, open-plan living area, with the kitchen and dining area to the back and sitting to the front.

This sociable space is ideal for relaxing after an action packed day; lounge on the sofas and discuss the day’s antics, plan tomorrow’s adventures around the dining table while enjoying a hearty home cooked meal.

The kitchen overlooks Sunflower Cottage’s back garden.

A tidy, enclosed area furnished with a table and four chairs – a great place to while away the last of the summer sun.

Upstairs are the two bedrooms and family bathroom.

The bedrooms consist of a double bedroom and a twin room.

The cottage lies in St Issey a rural hamlet with a popular pub, the Ring O’ Bells Inn.

Wander into the village for a filling dinner or why not head over to Padstow and sample some of the delicious fresh seafood?

The town is either a short drive from St Issey, or an hour’s walk along the mostly flat Camel Trail.

Further afield you will find 11 beaches within easy driving distance of the cottage, including those of surfing haven Newquay.

Sunflower Cottage makes for a well-positioned base from which to explore all that North Cornwall has to offer.

This property can be booked together with Ref. 1008527 and together will sleep 8.

Where you’ll be staying

ST ISSEY

Padstow 3 miles; Wadebridge 4 miles.

St Issey is a small rural hamlet with a church, pub and village shop, just 3 miles from the beautiful fishing village of Padstow. There are several top quality bathing and surfing beaches within 5 miles and the coastal path wends its way over the cliff tops and down among the rocky coves through some of Cornwall’s best coastal scenery. The little gem of Padstow with its famous restaurants, tranquil harbour and interesting shops should not be missed, and the Camel cycling and walking trail from Padstow to Bodmin makes a great day out. Take the ferry across the Camel estuary to Rock, surf the Atlantic breakers at nearby Polzeath, visit up-and-coming Wadebridge, or enjoy the fabulous Eden Project (20 miles) - the perfect base for a perfect holiday.
