  • "This property may be cheap, but there is nothing cheerful about it."

    The bathroom was cold, damp and moldy. The bathroom floor was wet. The mattress felt as old as the cottage. Sykes’ treatment of our complaint was pathetic. They tried to claim that visible mold (which we took photos of) was ‘due to cleaning marks’. As a result, we will never use Sykes again. This cottage would be fine for a drunken weekend without a vehicle. That’s about it

    We are sorry that you were unhappy with your stay with us. Chyancrowse is a small one-bedroom bungalow on the same plot as a larger house, Chyandaunce - the two properties can be booked together, sleeping up to 10 people. Chyancrowse is not damp or mouldy, although the shower room may have been cold because the heating element in the heated towel rail was awaiting replacement, for which we apologise. We should have replaced that in advance of your visit. The cottage itself had been heated in advance of your stay, and our housekeeper had made it as cosy as possible for the week before Christmas - apparently you ate the minced pies she had put out for you. The cottage itself dates back to the 1800s, and its furnishings are traditional rather than modern, but we can assure you that the mattress is a very recent purchase. As to your complaints that there was no parking, we do not advertise any parking on the premises for guests at Chyancrowse. The parking is reserved for guests in the larger property, Chyandaunce. We want to be clear that for guests staying in Chyancrowse there is limited parking on the street outside, or elsewhere in the village. Some of our guests come without a car but make use of the bus stop which is a 5 minute walk away to explore the area - there is a bus to Saint Ives, for instance, which saves the hassle of parking there. Unfortunately, the first we heard of your complaints was a recorded message saying that you had already decided to leave in a matter of hours, giving us no chance to resolve any issues. You said in that recorded message that you would leave a terrible review unless we gave you a full refund for the remaining five nights of your stay. Again, unfortunately, that did not leave us any space to reach a resolution. We are disappointed that you suggest people visit for a drunken weekend - Chyandaunce and Chyancrowse are a family home where my father was born and grew up. We hope that people will come here to enjoy the stunning coastline that he loved. Property Owner

  • "Busy road with no designated parking makes unloading difficult, not mentioned."

    Dated decor and furnishings including dining table with eaves there was no room to open. Nowhere to sit with legs under the table. Poor undesignated wifi and we suffered electrical faults. The housekeeper was however first class and responsive.

  • "Lovely cottage great location but was not expecting very heavy traffic through the village."

    The cottage was very nice except the chair and settee in the living room very uncomfortable needs to upgrade with comfortable ones all in all we enjoyed our stay would definitely come back.

GULVAL

Penzance 1.5 miles.

Gulval is a village in the former Penwith district of Cornwall. Although historically a parish in its own right, Gulval was incorporated into the parishes of Penzance, Madron and Ludgvan in 1934, and like Heamoor, is now considered to be a suburb of Penzance. Gulval, however, still maintains its sense of charm and parts of the village church date back to the 12th century. Other features in the village include the 1910 granite drinking fountain in the centre of the square and the Coldstreamer Inn, allegedly one of the oldest. A charming collection of Victorian houses and cottages are also dotted around what was the village square. Why not wander into the centre of Penzance, appreciated for its abundance of palm trees and gardens full of sub-tropical plants, a sure sign that you have arrived somewhere unique. Also people can visit the surfing beaches of Sennen Cove, Porthcurno. Placed of interedt would also be Minack Theatre, St Michaels mount, Poldark country, Mousehole etc making great days out to enjoy
