  Lovely Cottage, really well equipped except for the fridge which was far too small for a family of 4 who wanted to self cater!

  The lounge was really comfy and cosy, some really nice touches such as the blankets. Loved the big corner sofa. Bedrooms were lovely and big and beautifully simply decorated with some great finishing touches. This cottage has lots of thoughtful touches such as the storage unit in the bathroom, the basket of board games, the pile of DVD's and the gorgeous scones and clotted cream on arrival. The only slight downside is Kenegie Manor itself, it's all a bit run down, the shop opens erratic hours as does the restaurant. The one night we went to use it they had stopped serving food early as they were too busy..... They did helpfully supply us with numbers of takeaways that delivered to the Manor though!! Amazing area to visit would highly recommend Mermaid pleasure boats - we went out and saw seals and dolphins. Also the Minnack Theatre had a great children's show - fabulous fun for everyone. Would also recommend Tremenhere Landscape Gardens just minutes from Kenegie Manor, we had a lovely lunch there and beautiful and interesting gardens.

  This cottage was lovely, one of the best we'd stayed in.

  So you can imagine our disappointment when, after arriving on the Friday on Monday coppicing started in the adjacent wood only a few feet from the cottage. We had two chainsaws and farm machinery going from just before 8am every day, 7.30 on the Friday until 4pm. Couldn't enjoy the garden. Had to keep doors and windows shut because of noise. Had to keep the upstairs shutters closed as the workmen were at bedroom level. We were absolutely gutted that our one holiday which cost over £1300 was ruined. Sykes had no interest as it wasn't on the cottage property. We think it would have been nice if the owner's had come to talk to us as we understand they live across the field, but nothing. It would have been nice if they'd spoken to their neighbours on our behalf. They did however manage to come to the garden when they thought we were out but our son was there. The cottage itself, great except we couldn't find a first aid kit when we needed one. Very sad that we couldn't enjoy it and we'll never use Sykes again.

  We found Bell Cottage to be a wonderful holiday cottage for our week in Cornwall in May 2025.

  It suited our family perfectly and we really enjoyed our stay. The cottage was well equipped and very comfortable. We would love to come visit Bell Cottage again and this will be top of the list should we return to Cornwall. We would recommend that the twin and single rooms be fitted with blackout curtains/blinds as the slated blinds do let in a lot of light. The only slight negative was swimming pool with there being errors accessing the online page for booking (which was a pain as can only book on the day of use). We had to go to reception and get them to book for us. When it was our turn to use the pool, the changing rooms and the toilets were closed off (something not advised at the point of booking, especially as we booked in person). This was highly frustrating given we have two young children and then had to use the toilets through the restaurant area. This is not a reflection on Bell Cottage though.

  We understood that Bell Cottage was situated within a Holiday Park and that the property was in a terrace, what was not made clear was that this cottage although privately owned was one of a considerable number of similar cottages.

  I doubt we would have made the booking had we realized this. There was no privacy to sit outside and the garden furniture needs replacing. We noted your advice to park thoughtfully - it was a shame other residents did not and on a number of occasions when returning after a meal out we had to park in the main car park. A big advantage was that the cottage was cool in the living room and the sofa was very comfortable and was throughout very clean. It was a nice touch to have flowers and the biscuits and fruit juice. We lost WiFi on the Thursday and the owners were really kind and helpful and arranged for an engineer to visit which we really appreciated. The downside for us was the location, parking and we felt the price was somewhat steep. However this was Cornwall following a pandemic and in the height of season but we do feel your description of the cottage is not truly reflective.

  We liked the peace and quiet of this cottage, no road noise, just the friendly sound of jackdaws and the breeze in the trees.

  Our little doggy enjoyed the varied levels of the garden. We struggled to get to grips with the Lamona digital touch screen oven and we couldn't find written instructions or online ones either. This proved a problem when the oven turned itself off half-way through a pot roast while we were out. Flies in the kitchen became an issue, not surprising, given the location. We happened to have a nerf gun with us which was surprisingly effective against the little biters (blighters). Future guests might like to arm themselves with an old fashioned sticky fly paper. Our old T4 coped well with the track and we can't think any vehicle would struggle to navigate the bumps. Anyone interested in history will be delighted with the secret curiosity box. This was a great place to stay, secluded and tranquil, and if we were inclined to come back to this area we would not hesitate to re-book. Thank you.
