What guests are saying
Adequate accommodation for holiday.
A bit dated especially shower, but didn’t expect luxury. Lovely location. Beautiful views. Steep gardens but as described. Lacked comfy garden chairs / lounger type but had table chairs and bench. Nice touches for our dog. Towels etc.
Quirky character house with plenty of space, excellent views down the valley to the sea and several seats facing the evening sun for a beer after a hard day walking the coast path.
Minor niggles could include a tight parking space which needs the bushes cut right back and a small oven which is ineffective as a grill, but these scarcely make a dent in the attractions of the house and the area.
Great cottage in a good location.
Clean and very well equipped.
Homely cottage in fabulous location with beautiful views.
Beautiful Cottage lovely location
Lovely cosy place with stunning views and everything you need if i could change one thing it would be a shower cubicle for the bath other than that we had a excellent week
2nd visit to Heatherdale lovely accommodation, great views nice quiet area, well equipped kitchen should you wish to do a lot of cooking.
great garden secure even though we didn't bring our dog this year I would be happy that she would be safe in the garden. Just a couple of things that I think could benefit from some attention, the bathroom could do with an upgrade by having a shower screen rather than a curtain, maybe a new bath as the enamel has worn away so making it rough so uncomfortable to bathe. Maybe remove the bath for a walk in shower easier to get in and out. The sofa could do with a bit of a clean, even though its a dark colour you can see its a little grubby especially when the sun shines on it, just need to book for next year as I know it will get booked up quite quickly.
Thanks for the feedback Andrea. Glad you had a nice time. We will have a look at the sofa. The bathroom is on our list but it's a big job. Thanks again. Sarah and Rae
We had the most wonderful stay at Heatherdale and look forward to returning!
Perfect position for the holiday we wanted.
Cottage was exactly as we expected and had everything we needed. Would definitely return.
We had a lovely week in this really fabulous house.
Very comfortable, with everything you could need, and great views. The artwork and the ornaments give the place a very cosy feel, and we felt at home straight away. We were also lucky enough to meet the lovely housekeeper as we were leaving. She keeps the place spotless and is contactable if anything isn’t right. Lots to do in the area with Tintagel and Trebarwith Strand in walking distance, and loads of other places a short drive away. Would recommend very highly and would happily book again.
Our second visit here and already booked our third!
It is the most homely, comfortable and pleasant stay you can imagine. Rainbow keeps the place spotless and is so kind and helpful. We really couldn't imagine a nicer place to go. Thank you so much!
This house is lovely, the views are gorgeous!
we spent a lot of time at Trebarwith Strand Beach and visited Port William Pub watching the waves, just a note take change for parking at Trebarwith. Was so lovely even on cloudy days. Visited Tintagel Castle again amazing. Visited Boscastle and one rainy day we went to Trerice Manor National Trust which was so peaceful the gardens are beautiful. We found the Co Op at Camelford much cheaper and fresher food than at spar shop in Tintagel. We met " Rainbow" the housekeeper, she was so helpful and friendly, lovely lady. What I liked the most was how quirky the house is, also bonus there was parking too. We slept well and it was very clean. Also it had everything we did not need take any tea towels, towels or 'toilet rolls and they left cleaning products. Which was useful everything worked too and WiFi signal good. We will stay again been visiting this area for over 25 years and now we have our favourite place to stay. "Heatherdale"
Our second trip to Heatherdale, we enjoyed our holiday even though the weather turned.
Lots of walking the coastal path on this trip as the strand access was limited due to the neap tide. Try out the walk to Port Gaverne being around 5 hours return via dannonchapel, there is a good pub at the port for lunch. Also the excellent walk north to tintagel castle, and then carry on past the island towards rocky valley, with excellent views back to Merlins cave. Heatherdale has lovely views over fields towards the sea. The garden is well maintained and you can sit and read a book or catch a nap without being overlooked. There are still a few minor maintenance issues that could be addressed. The hob is cracked and no extractor fan, the hob needs a specific type of pan to work and some of these could be updated. The middle gate blows open and needs a new handle or a two way bolt.
Hi James Thank you for your feedback and for returning to Heatherdale. Re the hob; it was damaged by one of our first guests several years ago. We did consider replacing it but as it was still safe and functioning, it seemed unnecessary, plus we try to reduce impact on the environment by only replacing white goods if we really have to. We will definitely look at all the pots and pans and replace as necessary. The extractor fan has never been an issue as we tend to open the velux in the kitchen. The gate lock will be replaced. Really hope you managed to have a nice time. Apologies if these issues impacted on your holiday. Best wishes Sarah and Rae
We loved staying at Heatherdale.
Beautifully clean and it smelt amazing too. Really comfortable and welcoming. Thank you. The only thing was the extractor fan in the bathroom didn't seem to work, and it would be useful to have a stick blender (unless I couldn't find one). Otherwise everything was amazing and we hope to stay again one day. Thank you.
Thank you for your review and positive comments- so glad you enjoyed the house. We will look into getting a stick blender and try and resolve the extractor fan issue; we usually just open the window, which helps. Hope you do come back. Thanks again.
The lock on the kitchen door seemed very stiff and probably needed oiling.
Also the "front" door seemed to be sticking due to damp and wood swelling I would guess? Apart from that the cottage was as good as any I have stayed in in the UK, thank you.
We had a brilliant stay here.
A lovely house that was warm cosy and had everything we needed we plan to visit again in the future! We briefly met the housekeeper who had sent us a very welcoming message on the day of our arrival and who clearly does an amazing job of looking after the house.
We enjoyed our stay at Heatherdale, Treknow.
The Victorian house and it's location exceeded our expectations. We know the area and particularly liked the walk up to the coastal path overlooking Trebarwith Bay, then round robin back to the cottage via Gull Rock House. There are good views from the front windows over pasture fields towards The Strand and The Rumps in the distance. The Rear Garden was secure for our hound dog Bertie but the front garden was for the most part unusable due to the road and no front gate. Within, the house was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and we can see the owners investment and care in creating a holiday feel. Through a big storm we felt protected and when the sun shone we were booting up for another walk or a trip to the tidal beach, setting up our days according to the low tides. There are some maintenance issues. The bathroom sink and hob are cracked, the shower head bracket would not hold it's angle in place so showering is easier hand-held within the bath. The rear patio furniture could do with an update and the middle gate latch needs attention as it blew open a few times. Minor points though not detracting from our enyoyable break... we were sad to leave and would book again.
Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed the house. We will endeavour to check out those issues and put right where we can.
The cottage was beautiful.
It had everything we needed and more besides. The children really enjoyed the array of books and DVDs. In addition to this it was well located with beautiful views and within walking distance of the beach.
A fantastic place to stay, clean and has everything you would need.
Comfy bed with a stunning view over the valley and down to the sea. We are planning to go back next year.
What a fabulous cottage!
The location is stunning, with views of the coast and only a short walk or drive from the beach at Trebarwith Strand. The cottage was beautiful and extremely well furnished. We had a fantastic week and would happily stay again.
Greeted with a lovely bottle of wine and a couple of chews for my dog.
.perfect We had a super week at Heatherdale Lovely clean and sweet smelling property and pretty, well maintained gardens Sat in the back garden under the lovely fig tree surrounded by bluebells after a morning out exploring and then watched the sun go down on the hot front patio Two big bay windows that showed off the beautiful view (Didn’t want to close the curtains) It was just unfortunate on the last afternoon that the plumber had trouble fixing a problem and ended up spending more time at the property than was expected
Great central location .
Lovely views of Trebarwith . And a great little painting desk if you’re feeling Artistic. This was our second visit to the property and we loved it just as much .
This was a well equipt cottage but it was a bit grubby and in desperate need of a coat of paint and a good clean.
the stairs were very steep and narrow and the front steps were slippery and needed a banister or rail to hold on too.the house was in general was quite comfy.
Thank you for your feedback. This is an old, character cottage which we strive to keep maintained and decorated to a high standard. Our housekeeper works hard to keep the house clean. The house description does mention how steep the stairs and garden are. We will endeavour to address your issues.
A lovely place to stay with all things needed for us and the dog
We have stayed in Treknow many times but this was our first stay in Heatherdale.
Location is perfect - stunning views and a quick walk to the coast path. The house is really comfy and well-equipped, especially the kitchen. Best dog-friendly place we've stayed, with a large and properly enclosed back garden. Having a tumble drier was a luxury which was very helpful when it was too wet to dry outside, and the outhouse was so handy for storing beach stuff and wetsuits. It really felt like a home away from home, and on the odd rainy day we were content to light the log burner and play games by the fire, watching the fog roll in from the sea. Thank you.
Lovely stay at Heatherdale, amazing views and the parking pace is really useful.
The Out-house is really useful for hanging wetsuits, just would benefit from a little TLC. But didn't distract from a great holiday.
Thanks so much. We are actually having the outhouse refurbished in September!
I love this house, if I could afford to own it I would.
It’s clean, welcoming and charming
Lovely quirky accommodation .
Very well equipped. We had a lovely week .
Spent a fabulous week in this eclective home from home, perfectly placed for where we wanted to visit .
The house is very clean and well stocked The beds are very comfortable after a long day climbing round like a mountain goat The house contains plenty of games books and dvds for when the weather is bad we were lucky and were out every day Would recommend the property to everyone Thank you to Rainbow
Four of us had a wonderful stay at Heatherdale, amazing views from all the rooms and garden.
Perfectly situated for the beach and exploring magical Tintagel. Very well stocked kitchen for all self catering needs. We will be back Cath, Sue, Teresa and Lisa
Another fantastic stay at Heatherdale and Sykes cottages.
Amazing views.
Comfy beds. Great shower. Everything you need and so much more.
A beautiful house with amazing views.
Homely, comfortable and with everything anyone might need. We had a fantastic week walking on the coast path.
Absolutely perfect.
.... Had a wonderful time thank you
Loved the house, it had everything we needed and more.
Views are amazing. Great walks from the doorstep.
We had a wonderful week at Heatherdale in Treknow.
A beautiful cottage, a real home from home. Instructions to get in were easy, with flowers on the table to greet us. Beautifully clean and wonderfully equipped. Kitchen utensils galore, lovely crockery, glasses and saucepans. Games and books and painting things, binoculars, body boards, washing machine and tumble dryer. The beds were so comphy, with lovely bedding, and the views from the house are stunning. Thank you all for a wonderful week.
Loved our stay.
A beautiful place and such a comfortable space to be. Thank you x
This is a lovely, quirky and well equipped property in a great location.
Two pubs with good food only a few minutes walk away as well as the excellent Coffee Cup van on the road to Trebarwith beach for coffee and fantastic home made cakes. Just a few yards to the network of local footpaths for walks to Tintagel, Bossiney and further afield. The parking space is a real bonus.
The property was just lovely as ever , the greeting we got from the lovely lady “Rainbow” (never was a name more appropriate , such a ray of sun shine) set the whole tone for a really lovely holiday , we love the cottage , that’s why we keep coming back and hope to do so next year , great full too for the help we got to retain the booking after the Covid problems too .
All in all we like to say thank you to you all With all sincerity Jim & Melita Farish
Perfect in every way!
Amazing location to explore the coast and great walks from the door and quickly on the coast path. Immaculately clean, very comfortable and everything you could need. Great places to eat nearby or to sit outside and enjoy the sun traps (we had great weather) at the front and rear of the property. We wish we'd booked two weeks!
If I could own this house I would.
Everything is perfect and so well thought out
Lovely comfortable cottage with loads of interesting items.
Each day I saw something new that I hadn’t noticed before. The cottage was incredibly warm and the view was stunning. We found everything that we needed for a great holiday.
Another fantastic stay in Cornwall our spiritual home.
Once again having stayed in various Sykes Cottages the property Heatherdale at Treknow was lovely. A great location and great views. It actually felt like we were 'home'. Brilliant holiday where again we didn't want to leave. Hopefully, one day, we can call Cornwall our forever home. Matthew and Hazel Nolder. Stayed 14th-19th March 2022.
Lovely place - a real home from home
Lovely cottage over three floors, stairs are quite steep but that’s due to it being a Victorian property.
Had everything we needed for a lovely stay. Central heating very efficient we were often too warm. Would book this property again.
Yes.
The cottage is lovely although the bathroom could do with an upgrade. The shower and bath are pretty worn. The cleanliness and welcome touches were good as always. We do have an issue with Sykes however. This is the 3rd year we've booked with Sykes, for the same cottage - but have not been given a loyalty discount in years 2 and 3. Most holiday companies offer discounts to loyal customers. Disappointing that Sykes have not provided the same.
Heatherdale cottage is a home from home when it comes to facilities that you need within your home… it was brilliant.
Remember to check the out house as we bought body boards before we realised they had plenty in there that you could borrow. The location was amazing and a short walk to the beach which had an amazing sunset which was perfect, It also is a walk to King Arthur’s castle too along the cliff and the view we fantastic we even had the luck to see sea lions/ diploma . The beds were extremely comfortable… the view from the property was fabulous. We will definitely return to this amazing location, fabulous area and quaint property. Rainbow left a gorgeous message with nice treats which was really welcoming and a great start to a lovely break. Thank you selina
The cottage was as described, well equipped, and perfect for a week away.
great views and quite location
This was our second time at Heatherdale.
We love the views, position and the way the house feels like home. Can’t wait to go back!
Cosy cottage with wonderful views.
Being able to walk to the beach and being so close to the coastal path was a plus. The bedrooms were really comfortable and everyone slept well after the days activities. The shower was both hot and powerful and accommodated 5 people after a day at the beach with no problem. Overall a great holiday.
Brilliant location for trebarwith strand beach.
Lovely view. Only one slight issue and that was that the shower was only a trickle
Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback following your holiday at Heatherdale. We are pleased to hear your enjoyed the area and the views from the property. We have checked with subsequent guests and the shower appears to be working fine and holding a good pressure and temperature. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Great location - beautiful views.
House full of everything you need. Coming back next year
We loved this beautiful cottage.
It was cosy, tastefully furnished and generously equipped with everything we needed from books to crockery to beautifully scented soap and diffusers. We definitively felt like guests in a proper home rather than customers in a sterile rental and the stunning view from the sitting room window made staying in almost as pleasurable as our long walks along the coast.
The stairs to the top floor are narrow and steep and also access to the house from the front and the back gardens can be slippery when wet.
Not suitable for those who are not sure-footed. The view from the cottage is absolutely gorgeous and the owners have included every little touch to make it feel like home from home. A tranquil place.
The holiday home was really lovely, felt like home from home and had amazing views of the sea in the background and lovely countryside which was just on the doorstep.
The beach nearby welcomed dogs throughout the year but depending on the tides can be quite small and can get crowded but the beaches at Bude and Widemouth Bay are not too far away. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at Heatherdale.
Heatherdale provided excellent and homely accommodation.
It is superbly situated with lovely countryside views towards the sea and is only a short walk to Trebarwith Strand beach. Unfortunately the hot water boiler stopped working during our stay but this was quickly rectified with a phone call to the contact. We enjoyed a really relaxing holiday and hope to be able to stay there again.
The holiday home was absolutely wonderful, it was like a home from home and we would love to stay there again.
Fantastic location and so well equipped! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! The garden was enclosed which was great for our dog and children when we weren’t exploring the area. It’s a house with so much personality, they have books, games as well as body boards, buckets and spades. The kitchen has everything you could need too! It was exceptionally clean. It’s the best holiday home we’ve every stayed in! The 15-20 minute walk down to Trebarwith Strand through a field and a little wooded area is delightful, there is a pub, also very nice, and a shop selling beach bits and bobs including very good ice cream. We would highly recommend a walk to Tintagel along the South West Coast Path from Trebarwith Strand, it’s about 2.4 miles and a little hilly but the views are outstanding. We can’t wait to come back!
Absolutely wonderful holiday in a beautiful home.
We enjoyed every minute. The owners of the property had gone to great lengths to provide everything possible needed for a great holiday. Their attention to detail was second to none,From books to read, DVDs, jigsaws, games, washing facilities and even a torch to go exploring and binoculars to see the wonderful view ! We were welcomed into a cosy warm home with all the information we needed provided in a well organised folder. Even a box with leaflets on places to visit. Their visitors book was full of warmth and praise from previous happy holidaymakers and of course us !!! The house is set in a beautiful quiet village with stunning views and the gardens are private and beautifully kept. There is nothing negative to be said !!! We would happily return one day soon! Carol and Wayne
The cottage was beautiful and had everything you could want from clean bed linen to a corkscrew!
Well thought out the owners have thought of everything including a handy information file and a comments book which I was happy to write some comments in, thank you for a wonderful week in Tintagel x
We had a lovely break at Heatherdale in Treknow.
A very comfortable and beautifully furnished house, with everything we needed - and many more thoughtful touches thrown in. A fabulous location too, being just a stone’s throw from the stunning beach at Trebarwith Strand. We’d thoroughly recommend the house, and are already thinking about our next visit. Thank you!!
