Miss Clauson
August 2020

“We were really surprised at how large the property was.”

From the outside we were a little worried it would be a bit cramped for 4 adults and a child but it was perfect.

From the outside we were a little worried it would be a bit cramped for 4 adults and a child but it was perfect. Nothing felt too far away and it was a great base to explore Cornwall. The bed was a little uncomfortable as it was very soft and we rolled out a couple of times. But that is the only small thing we would say. We definitely will be booking Bal view again.

“The cottage was well equipped, warm (we loved the under - floor heating!”

) and nicely decorated. We were a bit disappointed (given the extra time allocated for cleaning these days) to find a clump of hair on the washing machine door, LOTS of hair on the beds and bedroom floors, a blocked bathroom sink and a rim of soap scum around the bath. Unfortunately, we couldn't get used to the matteresses and consequently we didn't sleep very well. They looked of a high quality, but they were just far too soft for us. The cottage was well located and served as a good base from which to explore the area. We enjoyed being able to walk from the door along the coast path.

- Mrs Danby, October 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry Bal View was not as prepared as it should have been for your stay and this has been addressed with the housekeeping company. We would gladly have arranged for someone to call back and deal with the issues had you raised them while at the property. The matter of the slow draining sink was remedied following your departure, as you suggested. Despite these things, we hope you enjoyed your holiday and we would love to welcome you back.

“Lovely cottage - is exactly like the photographs!”

Very comfortable furnishings, although the mattresses were a bit on the soft side - the single bed mattress was firmer! Enough off road parking for two cars if you are careful when reversing in (reversing in is recommended). The only downside was the size of the fridge - it is only an undercounter fridge with a small icebox compartment - not really big enough to hold cold food for five people. Enjoyable week!

“It was very cosy comfortable and clean ,beautiful view from my bedroom window warm ,comfortable beds could not fault anything.”

Dr Simpson December 2019

“This was a really well set up, well organised and well located holiday cottage.”

The village Pendeen has pubs, a church and a good shop all within easy walking distance, and the coast path is accessible in both directions. The cottage itself worked well, and even the hi-tech stuff such as AirPlay feeds etc all worked easily first time. Not always the case. The cottage was warm, cosy with a very effective easy to start wood-burner. Couple of suggestions - the welcome pack was nice, but at that time of year, one bag of logs provided as a start would be helpful. The dual rubbish bin in kitchen was good and access to the outside bins easy - but we just couldn't find any spare rubbish bags - they must have been well-hidden!

Mr Makepeace November 2019

“The cottage was in a lovely setting, with the sea a being only a short distance away.”

The cottage was very well equipped, very clean, neat and tidy. My friend and I both said the same thing, in that it did exceed our expectations, with the underfloor heating, comfort, it just felt very homely. Great location for exploring this part of Cornwall, no where was very far by car. Excellent visit to the local tin mine which was only a short walk away. Good local pub, very good food, not too expensive. Good service, approx. 5-7 mins away by car. The weather was wet and windy at times, however the cottage was so warm, secure, once inside none of this mattered.

“Perhaps a bigger fridge freezer would be useful”

Mr Wilkins September 2019

“Bal View is a cosy clean comfortable cottage, with easy walks from the door step, really friendly local people, very good pubs nearby serving good quality food.”

Would really recommend the Trewellard Meadery and The North Inn. This has been our second visit here and have already booked for a third visit next year.

Mr Wilson June 2018

“The cottage was superb, very comfortable and in an excellent location.”

Would definitely visit again.

Mrs Treiber June 2018

“Really great and the most comfortable cottage we have ever had!”

There is all you need and a very high standard in everything. Our backs didn‘t like the very soft mattresses - but thats a personal thing. The road right in front of the house was a little bit busy in the morning, but anyway - this cottage is highly recommended!

- Mrs Treiber, June 2018
Mrs White June 2018

“Lovely house in a friendly village - would book again.”

Would recommend The Field House for dinner.

“Excellent & comfortable Cottage in scenic location”

A very comfortable & well-finished Cottage. Exposed granite/beams, a lovely kitchen with all modern amenities. Great wooden floors, with underfloor heating - albeit, we found almost too warm. Bathroom also great. Some sea views and conveniently located for local pub (North Inn), Costcutter store & local Eatery (Trewellard Meadery) - that needs to be tried.

“Always trust Sykes cottages for peace of mind and quality.”

Never been disappointed.

- Mrs Littlewood, March 2018
Mrs Dickson March 2018

“Beautiful cottage - perfect for a winter break - cosy and comfortable.”

Love the fact that the kitchen is so well equipped cooking is a pleasure but Bal View is also within walking distance of a number of places to eat - always good when you enjoy the Elderberry Mead Wine served at Trewellard Meadery.

- Mrs Dickson, March 2018
Mr Hildyard March 2018

“Lovely quiet cottage, in a convenient location - with choice of local pubs, other eateries (recommend the Trewellard Meadery - within 6/7 mins walk.”

..just as well!), plus Convenience Store. All decoration, equipment and fittings are of highest quality and very well-maintained. Super, modern kitchen. Almost immediately opposite the Geevor Mine, which is also worth a visit. If we did have a minor gripe, it was that we did find the heating arrangement quite odd: in that there was underfloor heating provided downstairs which we found at times almost unpleasantly warm, whilst the bedrooms were uniformly frigid in the mornings (the radiators upstairs appeared to function solely in the early hours...with no obvious way to boost 'on-demand', all wall mounted controls being 'locked out' by owners) - therefore the effect as one ascended the stairs, was always that of a sizeable heat gradient.

- Mr Hildyard, March 2018
Miss Richardson February 2018

“Only downsize to the property is the size of beds they were small double but it’s persond preference as we have a king at home!”

Otherwise fantastic place to stay just gutted we were snowed in!

About the location

TREWELLARD

St Just 2 miles ; St Ives 11 miles ; Land’s End 7 miles

Trewellard is a small village on the north coast road between St Ives and St Just. Located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there are plenty of lovely walks in the surrounding countryside and along the coast. The area around Trewellard was once heavily involved in the tin mining industry, and as such, the village is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Geevor Mine, just outside the village, was one the last few working tin mines in Cornwall, finally closing in 1990. The mine is now a museum. Levant Tin Mine, also just outside Trewellard, is now owned and run by the National Trust. The cliffs just below Trewellard offer fantastic rock climbing opportunities. Trewellard has two restaurants – one of which is a Medieval-themed ‘Meadery’ – and a pub.
