Cottages With Hot Tubs In Cornwall

Reviews

What our customers say about their holidays

  The lodge was spotless and super clean.

  The rooms where of good size and the living area big enough. There is room for 2 cars outside you lodge but will get crowded when other lodges full. The pans in the kitchen aren’t the best as scratched to bits to food sticks. The kitchen knives are poor and don’t cut very well. The hot tub is just that, a tub that is hot as 70% of jets do work but there are very few bubbles and no force from the jets that work we reported it several times just to be told that we needed to turn the jets on. They where all on as water was coming out of them but with no power. We had no WiFi for 5 days and we reported this on day one just took 5 days to fix. They did eventually get it fixed but the strength was 3mbps not enough for our daughter to watch YouTube kids. I understand it may be week in rural areas but not powering one device is shocking. The lodge squeaks and when I say squeaks you can’t move upstairs without waking everyone up you can’t roll over in bed as floor squeaks you can’t walk to bathroom or on stairs as it’s so loads everyone wakes up. The upstairs double bed rolls you into the middle and the bed squeaks as well The lodge is warm and cosy water is hot once warmed up. Caretaker was polite and did try to fix everything for us but in this day and age you would expect WiFi and a hot tub that worked fully.

  The property is much cliser to the caravan site than the pictures indicate.

  This became an issue when we used the hot tub late at night and were shouted at snd called rude names from the caravan residents. We were merely talking and laughing in the hot tub. This must be a regular problem with this property as the site contacted the property owner who cane round to tell us off ! We did not argue and got out of the hot tub. She also advised that we should not be in the hot tub after 9pm and that although the property took 10 adults the hot tub only allowed 6. Neither the curfew nor the hot tub max were made clear in the booking information. If you book a property with a hot tub you expect to be able to use it when you choose. The owner’s attitude was also unpleasant and she returned the following day - entered the back deck uninvited - and complained again and at length about the noise. She was patronising and this was unnecessary, spoiling the weekend. When you have paid £1800 for 2 nights in a property I think you should expect some privacy. It is a lovely house but we would not book it again and the restrictions and proximity to neighbouring properties should be made clear in the description.

  We stayed in the house with another family, 3 teenagers and 4 adults in total.

  We all loved the farmhouse and agreed that if we didn't leave the place the whole week it would still feel like a holiday! The photos don't do it justice, it's simply beautiful. The fixtures and fittings are high end, the decor is wonderful, it's excellently equipped and the grounds are just stunning - the views over the valley are something else. Everything is provided for you and it's the perfect place to relax away from the busy tourist areas yet within 30 mins drive of Port Isaac, Trebarwith, Tintagel, Boscastle and Polzeath. Padstow is about 45 minutes away. The hot tub was well used and so relaxing, just what you need after a day body boarding in Polzeath! The village itself is quiet, not much going on but we had the best fish and chips from the local chippie in Delabole. Would also recommend Tintagel Brewery & Bistro for food (5 min drive from the house) and Port William in Trebarwith (great veggie options and an incredible view particularly if you catch the sunset). Would highly recommend this house, it's beautiful and we will likely book again for next summer.

  We were really disappointed on arrival there were weeds on steps to entrance of cottage which didn’t make for a good 1st impression.

  Then shoe rack was snapped in 2 which didn’t need to be there. Decking plank was sticking up which just needed a nail to secure. Hot tub cover was all ripped and steps leading to hot tub was rusty on top and underneath. Mat outside was full of holes. Tiny pillows in oversized pillow cases. Quilts with stains on them. Leak from upstairs sink and major leak from bath which came into hallway downstairs. We were moved to a property next door on 2nd day which was much more cared for but spent half a day moving from one accommodation to another which took up half of day.not a call from owner to ask if we were ok or apologises. We had booked Saturday to Saturday but were asked to moved on Friday as people had booked for the property but we refused to pack up again for 1 more night. We should’ve been offered compensation for the initial move but were only offered compensation to move the 2nd time. We feel this listing shouldn’t be on Sykes Cottages as we have booked numerous holidays with Sykes and never had an issue, and it gives Sykes a bad name

  A few things let this holiday down, firstly there was a building site next door, noise every day.

  The king size beds are just singles linked together so there is a big lip where they join. Every shower in the place was leaking around the shower head. We did not feel welcome at all, we met the owner on the day of arrival, we chatted but she was very weary of us as we were a group of 25 year olds and one baby it did not make us feel welcome at all. Parking is another thing, there is only a gap just wide enuff to fit your car through, have to monouver to fit the 4 cars on. Two out of the 4 cars scraped every day as there was a big pothole at the end of the drive causing a lip wich could not be avoided. Then you had to drive over two manhole covers that are bent with the weight of cars going over them as there only pedestrian rated. We also felt there shoils of been a grass area somewhere around the house especially for any children that visit. Overall very disappointed for the cost of the hoilday.
