• "We have stayed at Bowling Green before and been very happy with the cottage and on sight owners, who are friendly and welcoming."

  Really good base to explore the local area and a short drive to excellent beaches, our favourite is Godrevy, with excellent walks for you and your dog, beach or overland.

• "Just perfect."

  We were welcomed warmly humans and furries. Shown around and then left to it for the week. The property was spot on and very well equipped we were 4 adults and 5 furries. Even welcome snacks for the pups. Very clean and tidy. Enclosed garden with amazing views. Easy walk to a very welcoming dog friendly pup. We wanted a chilled week away and that was exactly what we got. Thank you

• "The bowling green cottage was situated in a good area for amenities and location to other towns."

  The cottage it’s self was smaller than we thought as it looked bigger on the photos and also the garden too but was big enough. Kevin and Naomi were both very pleasant and helpful although the cottage was right next to their Home, we didn’t see them that often and They never intruded on us . The Cottage it’s self could do with a little bit of updating In Certain areas. We went for for a week and we had a good time. Would recommend friends.

• "Lovely little cottage in a beautiful location."

  Ideally suited for those wanting to visit various locations in the South West. The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed and was very comfortable. The area was lovely and quiet and being on a farm there was ample parking. The broadband was very good as was the tv reception. The cottage was clean with just minor cleaning issues such as a couple of cobwebs in the twin room and some blackening to the silicone in the bathroom. The twin room was a good size as was the double bedroom. The twin room did however have a slight damp issue on the corner wall which although was dry did leave a slight damp smell if the door and window were closed. Not a deal breaker but worth noting. We have an old cottage so we understand these old constructions. The garden was lovely with enough room for our dog and it is fully enclosed. The hosts were really nice and were there if needed but not intrusive. You can buy fresh eggs at the farm which are really nice. I would recommend this cottage and would certainly use again if in the area. Overall a great place to stay.

  The cottage was spotlessly clean, & even with 5 large dogs, & the bedroom & bathroom doors shut all the time, seemed extremely cosy & not to small. Naomi & her family were very nice & made us feel welcome all the time. It was obvious, they were dog lovers themselves. Cottage itself was always snug & warm, & the log fire, an added bonus. I have already booked to stay next Christmas, there again, so that says it all.

• "This is a lovely detached cottage next door to the owners farm."

  It is very very small with the lounge and kitchen in the same room and the dining area in what is also the cloakroom area. It has two comfortable bedrooms and the smallest shower room I have ever been in…. It’s is a lovely and warm little cottage but I wouldn’t recommend it for many people maybe two adults and two small children max. Dogs are allowed and it is wonderful for them as they have an enclosed garden. You have everything you need for a comfortable and cozy stay and I can highly recommend it. It does maybe need a bit of a freshen up in the bathroom but that’s about it… maybe a new more powerful shower… but we have just spent Christmas week here, 3 adults and 3 dogs and we have had a lovely time. The owners are absolutely super and couldn’t do enough for us… A great little place ideal for a couple or small family xxxx highly recommend

• "We had a great stay and would highly recommend Bowling Green Cottage to anyone!"

  Naomi had the cottage ready for us by 2pm on the day of our arrival and immediately made us feel very welcome. She took time to meet our 4 dogs and was not put off by their barking with excitement. We were shown around the cottage and were told if we needed anything at all to ask. The cottage is beautiful. It had everything we needed for our stay and there were many extra touches like soap, tea & coffee, toilet paper, washing powder and liquid, kitchen roll etc, all the things we would usually dash out to get as we either didn’t think to bring them or ran out of room in the car. The enclosed garden was great for the dogs and the views from the cottage were beautiful. The location was perfect for us. Hayle beach is just a short drive away and there plenty of places to explore. The only bad thing was that we had to come home!

• "Really interesting location close to a lot of Cornwall's mining heritage and central for all areas of western Cornwall."

  The cottage had a nice garden for the dogs and plenty of places to sit outside and enjoy the views. Washing machine and washing line very useful. Inside it's comfortable with all the facilities you would expect. There's an eclectic mix of artifacts in the cottage and the bathroom probably could do with some updating in fairness, although didn't bother us at all. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals and oven was excellent. Wifi was pretty slow but we had a good 4G signal. Owners were lovely, overall would recommend!

  The weather hasn’t been kind to us but we managed to visit Lands End, St Ives, Porthleven, Kynance Cove, Helston and the Lizard. When the weather lifts, the views are amazing. The cottage is so welcoming, cosy and well-equipped that we have been really comfortable here. We love the extra touches like fresh flowers, soap powder for the washing machine, Netflix and even a torch for taking the dogs out at night. The cottage layout is so thoughtful with a stone floored entrance to bring the dogs into before they go into the lounge. The garden is securely fenced and even my two cocker spaniels could not find a way out. We were only here three nights but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We have already recommended it to friends and would love to stay here again ourselves. Thank you so much.

  The owners are very friendly, but not intrusive, & left us to enjoy our holiday as we wanted, but at the same time are very helpful when needed. The cottage itself was clean, very cosy, comfortable & had everything needed for a nice quiet self catering holiday (and the coal/log fire is an absolute treat on cold evenings, although the central heating there is great). There are plenty of amenities within a 5 minute drive of the cottage & plenty of local produce is sold nearby. All in all we left extremely satisfied with our stay, & would sincerely like to thank Naomi & husband for a wonderful stay.

  The owners could not have been more helpful. The cottage is quite small; our party was two adults and three dogs so it was ok for us but I think four adults would struggle with the space.

  The twin bedroom floor was damp, this was traced to water seeping down the lower part of the walls, this in turn meant that nothing could be left on the floor. The hot water in the bathroom was feeble to say the least, and the shower played up with those showering, going hot and cold. The host was pleasant and helpful on our arrival, but wasn't seen until our departure.I I would be happy to recommend Sykes Cottages, however we could not recommend this cottage.

  The hosts were friendly and helpful without being at all intrusive. The cottage was super cosy and had everything we needed. The location was brilliant, within very easy reach of a good range of facilities and a nice pub, as well as being close enough to a range of stunning beaches and coast walks. The cottage and the whole area were really dog friendly. The only thing that was a slight disappointment was the shower - it worked enough to fulfil its purpose, but the flow was a bit weak. However this really was only a very small issue and did not stop us from having a great holiday and we would 100% recommend this cottage as a fantastic base to explore the North Cornish Coast.
