Itâs an old property and the lack of natural light to the rear (the kitchen) means that it can feel quite dark. The sofa is so low to the ground that you feel like youâre in something designed for a Bedouin tent but it is really comfortable when you want to flop out. We never saw a rat all week and if there were any sneaking about the place, I know my Springer Spaniel would have let me know. Cleanliness all over the house couldnât be faulted. As always with rented properties, youâd wish for some better kitchen facilities (your own) but everything worked and we had enough to do Lasagne, Shepherds Pie and a decent breakfast. The showers and water pressure were great and beds were comfortable.. we go away to rented properties every year and Dreckly Cottage was at least on a par with most of the places weâve been. And better than some. Mevagissey is picture box pretty but really busy. There is some great walking and the house is working easy walking distance to pubs, shops and walls. Since those previous bad reviews, the owners have either done a massive clean up and repair job or in some way really upset someone! In September 2021 Dreckly Cottage was clean, rat free, great location, comfortable and with all you need to live comfortably for a week.

Although Dreckley was spacious and the kitchen reasonably appointed as described, we could not enjoy our stay because the house was damp and dirty. We had to wash all of the glasses, cutlery and crockery before using them, there was crusted dirt in the cracks of the dining room table, and the "patio" was so disgusting it was a health hazard - not somewhere to set foot in. The main bedroom had extensive damp on the wall and two bedroom ceilings leaked water when it rained. We complained about the state of the property but were met with denial. Another feedback for Dreckley which made similar claims to ours was soon removed from the Sykes website.
