Otherwise, it was a delightful cottage in a very peaceful setting, which nonetheless was very convenient for all the local facilities, including Par Sands which is a beautiful beach, and is dog-friendly all year round.

“This is a return trip to the same group of cottages,; which speaks volumes in itself, this time staying in one opposite to the one we stayed in at Easter.”

Steve was his usual friendly self. It's a brilliant location for seeing Cornwall, the cottage itself could do with a few maintenance tweaks just to make it more comfortable e.g toilet seat needs adjusting and the twin bed mattresses are uncomfortable. Is it Sykes policy to no longer have welcome baskets as in last 1-2 years, they haven't been present? It just would be nice after a 6+ hour trip to get there to have a cup of tea/coffee but this is a minor quibble, wouldn't stop us booking again.

The cottage was larger than expected but small details needed to be addressed. These include the TV which would not receive BBC channels. Odd things like light bulbs needed replacing and a few fixtures needed to be repaired (curtains rails etc). The electric fire did not work but the owner kindly swapped it for us on the second day. A small welcome pack would have been very much appreciated. The ability to have a cup of tea or coffee after such a long journey would have been useful without having to go shopping for basics so soon after arriving. The only thing in the cupboard was some left over pepper and half a bottle of washing up liquid! This is the only cottage we have ever stayed in that did not provide such basic essentials. We will return purely for the location and know to go better prepared! Despite this we had a lovely holiday.

A number of other issues were found the sauna not working, the back door needs some form of internal closure as very hard to close, kitchen cupboard door when first opened nearly hit my head as hinge not secure. We left notes for owner on the above mentioned issues. On the whole though a nice base and pleasant location.

Mr Cole, September 2018
“The listing for our cottage (Byre) is misleading, part of the reason we booked the cottage is that it is advertised as having WiFi, however, there is no specific WiFi in the property, it is shared with a neighbouring property and the signals have to travel through stone walls, so the WiFi in Byre is extremely weak, it will load a google search page, but, any web content with pictures / videos etc takes minutes to load and emails could take forever to send, if at all.”

I realise WiFi shouldn’t be a priority on holiday, but, I’m a self employed contractor and I need regular contact with customers and colleagues, but this was very d... more
I realise WiFi shouldn’t be a priority on holiday, but, I’m a self employed contractor and I need regular contact with customers and colleagues, but this was very difficult with the WiFi available. Another issue were some of the facilities, there were no means of drying clothes when the weather outside was poor, we couldn’t override the heating for an hour etc. All in all, I’d say the property is poorly equipped and maintained and the hot tub / sauna don’t compensate for this.

About the location

LOSTWITHIEL

Bodmin 5.5 miles; Fowey 7 miles.

A delightfully peaceful country town, nestling in the Fowey river valley amid the woods and fields that characterise the area. Renowned as a centre for the antiques trade, there are several shops and dealers in the town, as well as a fine collection of country pubs, restaurants and a thriving farmer’s market. Lanhydrock House (NT) and gardens is just 3 miles away, while the fabulous Boconnoc House, Eden Project, shipwreck museum and tall ships harbour at Charlestown, and the picturesque fishing villages of Mevagissey, Fowey and Padstow, with the famous Rick Stein restaurants, are all within easy driving distance. The tumbling Atlantic surf, long sandy beaches and dramatic coastline of the north coast, including at the renowned Newquay, make for great days out and there is also chance to enjoy river canoeing, biking, hiking and leisurely walks in this lovely area. The friendly locals also have ongoing activities, such as the raft race, the famous tug of war, Carnival week and seagull outboard motor races. The river Fowey runs from the town on its 8 mile journey through the fields and wooded valleys to the gentler southern coast, a natural paradise for those who love the sea. Centrally placed, with much to do and see in the immediate area, Lostwithiel is the perfect choice for those seeking a break away from the hectic pace of the tourist resorts.
