“The barn was down some very tight ...”

The barn was down some very tight country lanes not mentioned in the description. There were lots of flies which needs to be dealt with. The barn was lovely and the tray with scones ,milk and cream was a lovely welcome. Little bit to remote for us and the garden in the description was non existent we booked the barn as we thought there was an enclosed garden for the dog to play in and in the very hot weather a place for us to seat.

The booking and the whole stay at Skiber Goth was brilliant! Already on the look out to re book another place via Sykes and back to skiber goth!

“It was a great holiday! At first ...”

It was a great holiday! At first you feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere (which is exactly how we wanted to feel) but then you was close to key locations like Looe, or Adrenalin quarry. You will definitely need a car, however if you want night off from driving the taxi’s are a reasonable price. We really did enjoy ourselves and would come back again!

“On arrival, we found Skiber Goth ...”

On arrival, we found Skiber Goth had an appalling smell inside throughout the property. There was no phone signal or wifi to contact the owners and no phone number for Sykes on the documentation sent to us on booking through them. Having traveled miles of winding lanes was unsure of how far back to go to get a signal and after traveling 6 hours to get there decided to unpack. The property had no wardrobes/cupboards to hang clothes. The furniture consists of two child-size bucket chairs 12 inches off the floor and an older two seater settee. The property is lagged so well with small windows in the bedrooms that the heat at night with no air circulation is horrendous as others have also remarked on in the guest book. Even with the windows open and mosquitoes coming in, the heat was such along with the smell it made me physically vomit. After being awake all night we started to pack up at 6 in the morning. We had booked for a week but only been in the property hours. My husband drove some distance away to get a phone signal. There was no reply to the owners land or mobile phone, so he left a message. The owner turned up and admitted he had workmen the week before in the property working on an inside tank and spillage had occurred and that was the cause of the foul rancid smell. Despite knowing this he had let the property to us in this condition. Although the guest book had many complaints about the heat in the bedrooms, and other issues mentioned, his answer was "well open the windows". Offhand and abrupt and told us to go and leave the keys on the table. At this moment in time, Sykes" although having had other complaints about this property, still let it to us. They are refusing to give us a full refund, going from an offer of refunding their commission in vouchers, to then stating the owner is only offering way less than half our money back even though we were only in the property a matter of hours. We had to find other accommodation at short notice and great cost due to their duplicity: IE The owners knowing there was at the very least a problem with the smell, and Sykes, having had other complaints, knew the property was not up to standard and continued to advertise it and take money to let it when it was not as described. The stress and hours I have spent on the phone trying to resolve this to no avail bring me to recommend you do not use this firm and avoid at all costs! I will be taking the matter further.

“Lovely little cottage”

We arrived and found on the dining table some scones, and in the fridge was a pint of milk and a tub of clotted cream, Fantastic thought after a 4.5 hr journey! It had everything you could need, fully stocked kitchen, including washing machine. My wife and I took our 5 month old boy, and there was plenty of room for him to kick around on the floor, and to set up his travel cot in the smaller bedroom. Only downsides, no phone signal (o2 and Virgin), but having stayed in many a rural Cornwall cottage this is not unusual, and also the internet was really quite slow, but again, same as phone signal, not surprising for the place of the world. We didn't take our dog, but if we came again we would, as there were bowls for them, and a grazing field next door, and Boris the very friendly Labrador. Overall, a beautifully finished quaint place to stay, which is perfect for exploring the whole of Cornwall with its central location.

“Not suitable for tall people”

Whilst the cottage was well presented and accompanied by a welcome gift of scones, jam and clotted cream I found it all a bit too cramped. Anyone who is over 6ft will struggle to get comfortable in this place, the bed was too small, my head touched the ceiling in the shower and it was impossible to sit in either the living room chairs of sofa comfortably. It's also a bit risky cooking whilst having young children as they have to squeeze between the dining table and the oven/hob whenever they want to move between the lounge/kitchen to the bedroom or bathroom. It was a great location for exploring Cornwall however the initial directions need improvement. Be mindful that there is livestock in the vicinity which will result in a lot of flies, particularly in summer and the guest book contains some comments regarding this. I would not recommend this cottage for four adults.

“Beautiful cottage and a stunning location”

We arrived earlier than the check in time as we drove through the night but luckily the owners opened up the cottage early for us. We were tired and very grateful having travelled from Leeds. The cottage was clean, modern, no expense spared on all of the fittings and fixtures and had everything we could have wished for. The stay included all the heating and had fresh towels, bedding, wifi, dishwasher, dryer, washer, microwave and even board games. It was comfortable and enjoyable and hope to return. The owners were also very lovely. I would highly recommend to anyone.
