  • "We had a great stay at Church View Cottage."

    It is in a lovely little village which was a great central location for everywhere we wanted to visit whilst on hoiday. Listening to the church bells whilst drinking our morning coffee on Sunday was a nice addition to our stay. The owner was very helpful, messaging us on our day of arrival to let us know we could get into the cottage earlier and also later on in the week to let us know about a planned power cut in the area. The only problem we found was with the single bed matresses being too hard but that is more about personal preference.

    Let us come to the cottage early. Had technical difficulty with tv (my fault) explained it and then my Mother had an accident they let me stay another day. How many people would do that. Thank You. Facilities in house superb, beautiful rural setting, easy access to lots of areas by car, little shop just up the road.

    Many thanks. Property Owner

  • "Cottage itself was in a lovely location, pretty central for everywhere."

    It had pretty much everything you could need utensil wise and everything was clean, well except the floor, I was wearing white trainer socks on arrival and when I went to take them off that night, they were filthy. I even had to clean the soles of our slippers because they were dirty when we left, and I have beige carpets at home. So not impressed with that. Also, there’s no instructions for anything, when we’ve stayed at cottages in the past, there’s normally a book, with everything you need to know, how to work the heating, WiFi code, how to use the oven etc. took us 2 days to realise there was in fact a microwave, which, I must say, is pretty dangerous, as it’s above the oven and grill, so if your short, you either need help, or you’ll wear whatever you’ve heated up, not very practical. Couldn’t find a washing machine either? Again, no info in cottage. The rooms are comfortable, but if you’re in the twin room, you can hear everything in the toilet. Also, I think people who had stayed previously had had dogs with them, as I’m allergic and had a reaction as soon as I walked in. Might be worth giving the place a proper good clean and change blankets that dogs have probably sat on, especially if your next guests aren’t taking dogs. Overall we had a good stay, but would we come back? For the location, definitely!

  • "We have been booking with Sykes now for a few years and every place we have stayed has been wonderful until now."

    We turned up half an hour before the allotted time but it gave us the opportunity to see where the cottage was before we went for a coffee. We got out to let our dog go for a quick walk and we could see the cleaner was still in the cottage. The kitchen was a a disgrace and we have photos to prove this. The cooker top was smeared and not at all clean. The cooker equally so with a baking tray inside with a puddle of grease on it. The floor hadn’t been mopped and there was dust on shelves and cupboards with a sticky film that had been there for some time. We had to clean the kitchen before we were happy to cook in it. Upstairs was little better as the mirrors were all smeared and looked like they had been cleaned with a dirty cloth. The tv stand downstairs was also covered in dust and every horizontal surface was dusty and not helped with the amount of nick-knacks which had also not been dusted. The front door is a stable type but the bottom was not secured with anything as the bolt had broken and one which was missing completely. It could only be held in place by the top door. The hinge on the bottom door was loose so you had to really slam it shut. My husband did find a screwdriver and fixed this. The place also suffers from damp as there appears to be little damp course outside so rain water was held in place by the decking. Every cupboard we opened smelt musty and the area by the back door also smelt damp. I did buy a plug in room freshener to at least mask the smell. Not good when you are an asthmatic. All in all we were very disappointed with Sykes on this property and it was definitely cleaner when we left than when we arrived. Another security point. The key for the property was accessed via a key safe in the garage except the cleaner hadn’t bothered to even change the code when he put the key back so as soon as I opened the garage door the key fell out.

    Thank you very much for providing your feedback, we are very sorry to hear of the issues you raise which as you will see are in stark contrast to the many other positive reviews we've received for the property. The owner specifically contacts guests prior to their arrival with his contact number so that if there are any problems he can action them immediately, few visitors in the past have called him to sort little issues successfully and this would have been the case in this instance had you informed him. The owner takes their letting of Church View Cottage very seriously and pride themselves on giving good holiday experiences, this is reflected in the feedback we have received and we have every confidence this will continue to be the case moving forward in this beautiful 300 year old cottage.

  • "Enjoyable week in a very homely cottage."

    The owner has many extras in the cottage and a welcome pack on arrival. Bed was very comfy. Charming countryside village with friendly folk and a community shop and post office. Renovation work of the old pub The Punch Bowl Inn directly behind the cottage is major work and ongoing and whilst it did not disturb us too much as we were out and about visiting the local areas it is worthy of note.

    Overall the cottage was fairly presented and comfortable unfortunately there were remnants of the previous tenants' breakfasts on the crockery coasters and the electrical wiring to the washing machine looks rather suspect My family and I have used a number of Sykes recommended cottages in the past and on a scale of 10 I would rate this at 5

    The company that services the cottage has been informed about the stained crockery coasters. We apologise for this. The wiring has all been PAT tested. Property Owner

    The cottage is very well stocked with household essentials, I am struggling to find any issues that are not addressed in the cottage details ie the stairs are steep with limited headroom at the bottom, but this is apparent in the pictures/ details and it is a building of an age that this is to be expected. Many thanks .

    Glad you enjoyed your stay with us.Hope to see you again in the future. Property Owner

  • "Lovely historic cottage with amazing past."

    The village itself is great , very quiet with a fantastic church and church yard right in front of the property. Well worth a walk round. The facilities in the cottage are good and beds comfortable. The kitchen has everything you’d need. Of course being an old traditional cottage, the ceilings are low and the stairs are a little awkward, but that’s Cornish cottages and is part of the experience. Overall we had a great stay and really enjoyed it
