"By far the best equipped cottage we have stayed in which added enormously to our enjoyment."
The cleaning was a little hit and miss i.e. top shelf in the kitchen area had significant cobwebs but overall no major issues. Lots of info provided to aid our discovery of the local area and the amenities offered. The village itself is lovely but larking can be difficult.
It is a shame that pets are no longer allowed as we would have visited again
Thank you for your feedback. Your comments have been passed on to the owner. In older properties, it can be really hard to keep cobwebs at bay and they can appear after the clean has taken place or during the stay through no fault of the cleaner. We are glad you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We had a wonderful stay at Quarry cottage, such a lovely cottage and the village was quaint and full of friendly folk."
There was a fair bit of hustle and bustle for such a small place, we liked the feeling of knowing people were going about their day. The view from the harbour over to Falmouth was gorgeous and we loved getting the ferry over to visit. Plenty of places that serve vegan food if you're looking for that. Only issues were a couple of broken items, dvd player, hoover and electric fan heater, but other than that the cottage was well supplied and very comfortable. We will definitely be staying again.

"Although we enjoyed our time away we were disappointed with the accommodation, didn’t feel it was up to the standard we have come accustom too from Sykes, although we appreciate the accommodation in the village where we stayed are relevantly small it could do with some updating and tlc ."
The actual village made up for our disappointment with the cottage.
We are sorry to hear that the property did not meet your expectations. Had you let us know during your stay that there were issues with the property we would have been more than happy to have dealt with them. We believe that the photos present the property accurately as it stands. We are however glad to hear you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"For the duration of our holiday the weather was very cold, frost most nights."
The heating was inadequate, the storage heaters switched on at 23.00 and off at 08.00, throughout the day and evening they were cold. The only heating available during waking hours were two fan heaters, both of which were noisy. The owner was contacted, but no improvement was suggested.
The lounge and kitchen were comfortable and well equipped, but the rest of the property is tired and in need of renovation.
The property is well located within Flushing and we had an enjoyable holiday only marred by the ineffective heating.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at Quarry Cottage, liking Flushing and the area surrounding it. Unfortunately the weather can be unpredictable and cold nights can happen even at the end of April. Quarry Cottage does have the characteristic Cornwall cottage storage heaters which charges up during the night and then releases slowly the heat through the day. As the owners informed you after you contacted them, to help keeping the property warm at night they installed a lovely flame-effect electric wood burner in the lounge and they also provide 2 fan heaters that can be moved anywhere in the property. There are also 2 hot water bottles that will help you snuggle on the couch. The owners took the opportunity to freshly repaint the property at the end of March and they made sure to keep the furniture in perfect state as true to the photos, so guests will always know how the lovely Quarry Cottage presents even before arriving. We hope the sun will rise and warmly shine for your next visit so you will be able to enjoy not only Quarry Cottage but also explore all Cornwall. Property Owner

"We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Quarry cottage as we usually do."
Appropriate action had been taken to safeguard us and we had a great two weeks, thanks. Found several new places to visit in Cornwall, and enjoyed some old favourites.

"The cleaning at the cottage was not very good especially around the log fire."
Burner thick dust around settees and under. Garden needed attention front door lock very hard to open with the key just one yale lock apart from that good location and we had a good holiday. Oh yeah the kettle broke but was replished with a new one very quick
We are pleased to hear that you had such a lovely holiday.
Thank you for the helpful pointers on cleaning in these difficult times - we will attend to this.
Sorry to hear about the front door lock and rear garden, these issues have not been highlighted by our recent guests Property Owner

"Comfortable, clean and welcoming cottage in a peaceful and historic village."
The Seven Stars pub round the corner is a great spot to sit outside in the evening sunshine. There’s a handy village shop and the Falmouth passenger ferry which runs every half an hour is a fun way to reach all the amenities of the town. I would particularly recommend the lovely coast path walk around to Café Mylor which overlooks Mylor harbour.

"Not the cleanest of properties on arrival, bathroom not clean and previous guests towels behind the door."
bathroom requires an update and extractor fan - signs of damp.
flushing is a lovely quiet location, friendly locals and good pubs. ideal place to explore local and further afield areas.
We are very glad that you enjoyed the location of the cottage, the friendliness of the locals and the many amenities of Flushing.
Thank you for the heads - up about the cleaning. We have obviously slipped up on this occasion and hope it did not spoil your holiday. Rest assured, the matter is in hand and at the first opportunity a deep clean will be done.

"We did not have WiFi the entire time we were there."
The owner tried to rectify the situation without success. He did offer us a small reimbursement for the inconvenience. It is difficult to plan a vacation without the internet to book activities. The WiFi problem seems to have happened before so not an isolated problem. The home is lovely and nicely situated. Would definitely book again if WiFi is corrected.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Quarry Cottage. We have spoken with the owner who confirmed that following a fault with BT the wifi is now up and running and working perfectly. Property Owner

"The quirkiness added so much charm to the cottage."
Surprisingly a lot larger than it looks from the outside. The homely touches (dog treats, dog blanket, cleaning products, Cornish biscuits, tea, coffee and fresh milk in the fridge) were a lovely added bonus. Good sized towels were also appreciated, a big bug bare of ours is these titchy towels you often get in hotels!
Two great pubs in the village serving good food.
Cornwall is very dog friendly.
Falmouth and St Ives are must see visits.

"The cottage is perfectly located for ease of access to surroundings."
The arms on the sofa are very hard on the edges and both of my sons banged their heads on them on separate occasions. The parking is terrible for all, on many an occasion we had to park at the top of a very big hill and walk back down to the cottage. Overall the cottage is lovely and is very clean and well equipped.

"We were so pleased to find a property
1) back with helpful holidays and that had not been taken over by some of the overpriced agencies that seem to think every one needs a 5star property that you don’t feel comfortable in."
2) at a great price and excellent value for money.
3) A home from home that was fantastically kitted out, comfortable, spotless and beautiful
I have spent my whole life coming to Flushing with my family and could not have asked more of what we received; Dee was a wonderful and so welcoming on our arrival, Helpful Holidays service is second to none.
Well done and thank you so much for making our holiday so wonderful.
