  His is the first time that I have been disappointed with a Sykes holiday cottage, and I have been using your company for many years.

  When we arrived on late on Saturday afternoon we noticed that both bathroom windows had been left open, the reason for this became perfectly clear the following morning as there was a vile smell that pervaded throughout the upstairs rooms, but was particularly unpleasant in the bathroom. So on the Sunday we bought some air freshener, but this only took the edge off it, although did prevent it spreading beyond the bathroom. On the Monday, I bought some drain cleaner/unblocker and poured it down the sink, this I left for 4 hours and then rinsed with hot water. Finally by around Thursday, the smell was all but gone. You have to understand that the smell was so awful it made me want to vomit. I have never known such a terrible pong, and i have worked in some pretty smelly places. So to the rest of the cottage, mostly it was alright, although we did think that the kitchen was a bit under supplied with cupboard space. The clock wasn't working, so we put a new battery in it, a light bulb went pop in the lounge so I had to change this too. The outside light didn't work, which didn't make for easy access in the dark due to all the steps. We used the washing machine mid week but then found that there was rather a limited number of pegs! The hot tub wasn't especially clean, with bits of the cover and flies floating in it whenever we used it. Certainly not upto our usual standard of holiday stays. Thankfully we enjoyed good weather when we were down for our fortnight, so we were able not to have to spend too long in the cottage. That said, we did like how the fence shielded you from the road noise. The walk to the cliff top was nice, and the views along the coast were spectacular at sunset. One of the positives of our stay were the guide books, as we like to do a fair number of walks, the local one through Tehidy was quite pleasant. It was nice to get the welcome hamper on arrival and to have milk in the fridge. I think my only other quibble was that it was very hard to get out onto the road as it is totally blind pulling out of the drive. If there was a mirror opposite it would make life far easier. Would I stay here again? Absolutely not. Especially for the money that we paid. I have stayed in far nicer holiday cottages in Devon and Cornwall and will not be returning to this one.

  I read another item of feedback on this property a couple of weeks ago from Wayne and have to say our experience was totally the opposite!

  We were welcomed in the property by a lovely welcome pack. The property was warm and welcoming and very clean. Our dogs were able to have the run of the garden as the fence (about 3 feet high) is secure The ground floor is open plan (as per the pictures) and has a log burner which was very welcome each night. There is a shower room with toilet and sink on the ground floor too. The kitchen is well appointed with a great fridge and plenty of pans and utensils. The piano needs a tune and a bit of work so my attempts at Bach may have had him turning in his grave! (That’s my excuse). Upstairs are three good bedrooms and a bathroom. All very well decorated and proportioned. There is a beam across the main bedroom which you have to remember is there at 3 in the morning - it hurts to walk into it! There is ample hanging space and plenty of drawers in each bedroom. Outside the hot tub was great to have and we used it regularly. I hope you have a great break there. We will go back as we love the area-there is so much around - the best being St Michaels Mount just over a mile away. I’d suggest driving as it is along a busy road with no footpath. There is also a beach about 20 minutes’ walk away at Perranuthnoe which is lovely. The village has two pubs, both 200 yards away, a village shop 400 yards away (and stocks plenty of everyday essentials) and a post office. Plus plenty of takeaways and restaurants if you are so inclined. The owner, Juliet, was great to deal with. Thank you for a great week!

  Such a beautiful property and we will be returning We did lots of coastal walks directly from the property and easily walked across the field rather than driving to the local shop/pub in St Just after walks with having a dog Stayed 29/12 for a week and the weather has been amazing for us, seen many seasons but mostly warm and dry in the day The decoration is beautiful with attention to detail with lots of lovely additions making it feel homely The sea is viewable from the garden and the lookout lounge upstairs One of us used the hot tub twice which was ideal after 4 hour daily moderate walks and robes were provided There is lots of history here in Cape Cornwall and along the coastal paths and we love that Ventured to St Ives on a rainy day so wasn’t there long but we prefer the isolation and quiet nature walks and this area is ideal as a base for both Perfect accommodating hosts Netflix, Prime and Freeview included Great boiler room and entrance which were both handy plus a massive log burner and underfloor heating Superb safe fully enclosed garden for dogs and children Appliances easy to work Fresh flowers and decorated for Christmas Beautiful quality hamper with quality staples plus extras which were really appreciated Thank you so much - we loved it

  Huge thank you to Juliet who provides such wonderful holiday accommodation in such a beautiful Cornish location.

  'Home from Home' experience with a bottle of fizz waiting for us upon arrival and the hot tub warmed ready to 36 degrees ready for us to jump in! Gated garden was wonderful for all of us including our Cockapoo! Only a 15 minute walk to the nearest dog beach - Beautiful Perranuthnoe (summer months dog restricted hours to before 10am and after 6pm) and to join the South West Coastal Path. Dog owners can take a short 2 mile drive to Long Rock near Penzance to enjoy an all round very long dog beach! Very well equipped kitchen! Kids loved the American style fridge freezer with cold water dispenser. I loved the kitchen being central in the house so I didn't feel 'shut off' whilst cooking breakfast and dinner. Beds super comfy in ALL the rooms! Very friendly Cornish village - even got invited into someone's house whilst walking pooch and promised a meal if I come back next year! A great base for exploring the westerly side of Cornwall. We found loads to see and explore everyday day, including the old tin mines at Botallock where Poldark was filmed, the Minack Theatre, St Michaels Mount, Mousehole, St Ives, Sennen Cove, Lands End and Penzance! Would thoroughly recommend Roncon's Villa and hope to return!

  See Two Seas is a beautiful holiday cottage.

  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and our only grumble is that the week flew by too quickly. West Cornwall is real a hidden gem. Cape Cornwall is particularly breathtaking, and we loved the fact that it was just a stroll away. We loved St Just too, which is a bustling village, and it was great that we could either walk or cycle easily up to the shops or pub! This was our first time enjoying a trip away that ‘far down’ in Cornwall, the journey usually puts us off! We decided to go for it because the cottage looked so lovely, and we were not disappointed at all. It was lovely to have the bikes, and the hot tub was great fun. It was a shame we didn’t get a chance to use the paddle boards, but the conditions just weren’t right. Our host were very welcoming and we really appreciated the beautiful basket of goodies on our arrival. The welcome e-mail was also really informative and helpful. We definitely will return to See Two Seas at some point in the future. Thank you for allowing us to use your beautiful cottage as our home for the week!
