We have just had a lovely holiday. The bungalow was plenty big enough for us. Garden lovely. Good walks for our dog. Comfortable beds. Good location too.

Rated by Wendy W reviewed on 2nd June 2017

The central location of the property was ideal; it enabled us to explore all areas of Cornwall with ease. The house was a comforting and relaxing place to return to at the end of each day.

Rated by mandy l reviewed on 15th February 2015

This bungalow was just perfect for our one week stay with dog. It was ideally situated just 2 miles from Truro ( where our friends live), it had some lovely walks for the dog in the vicinity.The owner was very welcoming. It was warm and cosy especially when we lit the open fire in the evening!! Very clean and comfortable, we would have no hesitation of booking again.

Rated by Woods888 reviewed on 12th February 2015

We found this holiday rental to be the best we have ever stayed in, owner very welcoming on our arrival after long journey, and everything possible provided. Warm and cosy and very clean. Beds very comfy, bathroom shower so efficient we are going to buy similar model. Bed linen provided (good quality duvets!) only took our own towels. Kitchen modern and all equipment easy to use and there were instructions for all equipment within the bungalow. The dog enjoyed herself in the well contained garden, we had no qualms about her being out there on her own. There was a Spar shop just up the road but supermarkets in and around Truro and lovely beaches & gardens to visit within a few miles. We joined the N.Trust and visited all the gardens we could and dogs were welcome in ghe majority of the gardens, and after 1 October allowed on beaches. We would definitely rebook in this area of Cornwall, in the same property if possible!

Excellent cottage rental with everything provided, warm & cosy and in a very peaceful location. The owners have been most thoughtful in setting up this rental and were most welcoming. The garden is very secure for dog. There were plenty of interesting places to visit locally. We thoroughly recommend this property.

Rated by Mrs Parr reviewed on 9th September 2013

Arriving after a long tiring journey we were met by the extremely pleasant and helpful owner who made us feel very welcome. The bungalow was spotlessly clean and comfortable and the pet friendly garden perfect for our two dogs. It was very central for exploring Cornwall and the only disappointment we had was that we only booked one week, next time it will definitely be two.

Very comfortable and spotlessly clean, could not ask for more. Owner very welcoming and helpful. Our only disappointment was that we only booked one week, wished it was two.

Rated by Mr Dowson reviewed on 6th July 2013

Exploring Cornwall was great, and it is such a beautiful, friendly county! This is the second time we have used Sykes to book our holiday and I'm sure it won't be the last. The communication via email is excellent. We also found the dog friendly beach map in our property very useful.

It's like a holiday where you take your own house with you. We recieved the keys on time. The home was very tidy. After being there before it was a little like coming home. The home is in quiet location and it has a very large garden. Within a minute you can get on the road to all directions. The neighbours are very nice and quiet people. The house has a good standard..(dishwasher, washingmachine etc...)

Rated by Mrs Jerrard reviewed on 14th October 2008

The property was very central for all the attractions in Cornwall. It was very quiet and peaceful, and the enclosed garden meant it was ideal for the dog. There were also plenty of walks from the doorstep to take the dog out. The house on arrival was immaculate and a really nice touch was fresh flowers, biscuits, tea coffee and a pint of milk. The house itself was very bright and airy. The owner was very friendly and welcoming on arrival and we were left undisturbed for the rest of the week.
