What our customers say about their holidays

  Peaceful, tranquil, relaxing, restful.

  ... Just a few adjectives to describe our holiday village experience at 'Watergate Bay'. Thank you for the friendly and helpful welcome and everything you might need to get you started for a peaceful break in Cornwall. The fixtures, fittings and decor are clean and up to date, had everything we needed. It's a real shame that the 'sofa and bed' comfort needs addressing and possibly changing as they do let the side down a bit. Having mobility and disability issues, our comfort is essential and we had difficulty rising out of the sofa without assistance. May we suggest that when you up date the seating arrangements at Westgate Bay, please consider the comfort for the less able. Perhaps replace one of the 'big' old sofas by introducing a couple of high backed chairs with arms which would help those with less able issues. The bathroom facilities are modern with a walk in shower but the introduction of a grab rail would make showering safer. "We'll remember to request a portable shower seat and toilet rail next time we visit". Also, we would suggest that the toilet roll holder be relocated, it was a bit too close to the loo for comfort - (but that was just a little 'quibble'). We have to make a special mention about the very friendly wild life. Every morning we were introduced to an amiable little Robin who would tap on the patio window to ask for his breakfast. He would even take crumbs from your hand. The 'little stream' sound effects were also a pleasant feature and added to the outside morning coffee experience. On the whole, we were very happy with our stay and will keep 'Westgate Bay' and Rosecraddoc Holiday Village in mind for our next 'tranquil' Cornwall get away. The middle county location of the holiday village makes easy access to experience all aspects and areas of Cornwall.

  What a little gem!

  Watergate Bay is in the most beautiful surroundings, gorgeous views, with a clear, flowing stream just at the back. Over the stream we had neighbours in the form of cows, who would come for a chat! The cottage itself was perfect. Plenty of room and all the equipment needed to have a good stay. I have to say also that it was spotlessly clean. Immaculate. We booked at quite short notice and there wasn’t much available in our price range and that met our criteria, we usually stay in Cawsand on the coast, so inland was a departure but we weren’t disappointed with this find. I went for it as there is a fishing lake literally a couple of hundred yards away over a quiet lane that is a part of the holiday village. You pay a fee, daily or weekly. At a total of £45 for my husband and son for a week’s fishing, you can’t go wrong.My son was in heaven. Such a gorgeous lake set in a tranquil landscape. The fish were super healthy and the whole area, like our cottage, was immaculate. Dogs must be kept on a lead but there is an area of woodland just up the road where they can be let off, another plus! We came home and have booked for next year already. Back at the coastal cottage we use in October too. Have to say that we only use Sykes. The whole experience is stress free and descriptions have always been bang on.

  Another fantastic week.

  Our cottage was absolutely spotless, as usual! Everything we needed was provided. Thank you so much Julie and the wonderful team who look after the cottages and make them so fresh to move into! We hadn't planned on doing too much, this week was about relaxing but we were never at a loss. A great place to chill, watch a film or read as it's so quiet, just the sound of the stream....wonderful. The view from the back of the cottage, second to none. We never tire of looking at it. This time we had lambs and their mums keeping us company and the stunning oak takes centre stage. Magical. A fantastic location, 5 minutes from Liskeard and whatever shops you need. Beautiful fishing lake across the lane. The charge for fishing is very reasonable and the fish are in great condition (my fisherman son loves it). He fishes while I read, it's such a tranquil and pretty place and immaculate too. You're less than a half hour from the coast and 15 minutes from the Tamar bridge should you want to cross it and go to Plymouth or further. We try not to! It's not nice to leave Kernow! Go west! We come back to Watergate Bay every year and this year, twice, as we've just booked for September. It feels like a real escape.

  Just spent a week at meadow Lea.

  We had a lovely week. We were lucky with the weather. The cottage was cleaned to high standard on arrival. Very spacious. The garden is beautiful and very private.The cottage has 2 shower rooms and 1 bathroom All the bedrooms are very nice. Plenty of pillows. Comfy beds. We loved the ensuite shower. The kitchen has everything u need.we did do a lot of cooking. We think the other sitting room would be great with a pool table in there..we didn't use it as it was . We took our dog and it was great to know once gate was closed he could roam the garden. The only problem we found and it isn't the owners fault but I think skyes should show a picture of the steps in the garden where you park your car. We had 2 people with walking disabilities and were surprised to see all the steps as you drive through the gates to park your car. It was hard carrying all the luggage up the steps. These steps were not shown on skyes. We all loved the cottage and would definitely recommend. Also would be great if you have children . Theres table tennis.swings and games for the children to enjoy The owners kept in touch before ,during and after our stay. Thankyou very much Ian and Jennifer

  MeadowLea was just what we needed.

  We brought our friend with us who had never experienced Cornwall so it made it all the more memorable. Although we did have a little trouble finding it at first (do not rely on the what3words on the website, and I came from a different direction so was a little confused from the given instructions), some locals helped us in the end, and it gave us time to see the wonderfull village. The owners kept in contact with us during our stay and were very helpful. In all the stays we have had through Sykes I can definitely say that meadowlea was the most organised. Everything that you could think of was to hand. My son bought some sushi from the shop and was upset he had forgotten his chopsticks...meadowlea had two sets...he was over the moon! So 5 stars from him too. The house was so clean too, and the gardens were beautiful. It was a wonderful time to come as everything was in flower and the grass and trees were so GREEN. We also loved the little history of the place and the photos on the wall, it really did make it feel so relaxing. I would like to thank Ian and Jennifer for sharing their wonderful home and hope to stay again in the future.
