• "2nd time our family have stayed in this cottage and we were not as impressed as our first time."

  The cottage is set in a perfect spot and ideal for couples with a dog/dogs. However we found the cleanliness could have been improved. The curtain pole in the double bedroom remains broken and a safety issue as it fell down multiple times during our stay - We reported this last time we stayed however it has still not been fixed. The cottage does not appear to have had much maintenance since our last visit. We were told there would be logs provided for the fire however on arrival there was only 1. The welcome/information book appears in need of an update for local recommendations. We did enjoy staying in the area and proximity to the beach is fantastic.

  Hi I’m sorry that the cottage wasn’t as clean as You expected, i will contact you separately as it would be helpful to have more details so I can address it with the cleaners. The curtain pole isn’t broken, it sits on the cradle either end of the pole and is adjustable, sorry to hear you had problems with it. I hope the issues didn’t spoil your stay. Thanks Property Owner

• "Had a great time in Cawsand, the cottage was nearly as charming as we remembered it from our previous stay."

  However, the electricity and the folder for the house need to be redone. The housekeeper does not work anymore and all our attempts to contact the owners were in vain. We replaced the light bulb at the dining table on our own cost, but when the switch at the stairs caused a short circuit, we gave up. There was a problem with the rubbish collection, so we had to take our rubbish somewhere else. We would like to come back sometime but hope that amendments can be made by then.

  Hello, Thank you for the feedback and apologies you couldn’t get hold of me, can you please advise How you tried to speak to me as I had no messages or missed calls? I’m always very responsive to queries or issues. I will check what happened with the rubbish as I have a private collection each week so I’m not why there was a problem, apologies for the inconvenience. We do have a box of lightbulbs in the stair cupboard so I’m sorry you had to buy a new one but if you would like me to reimburse I’m happy to do so. The fuse box is in the lounge, the electric circuit is quite sensitive which occasionally trips the lights if there is a lot of wet weather. It’s an old cottage but the electrics are up to date. I’m Sorry that you have had reason to complain And hope it didn’t spoil your stay too much. Property Owner

  Well furnished and decorated, we felt very much at home and immediately comfortable in our holiday surroundings. It was intimate without being claustrophobic, a perfect place for a couple, as we were. The owner was very repsonsive to a slight issue we had. We were very impressed and will book again.

• "A really nice cottage and we enjoyed ourselves there very much."

  At 6 ft tall, a few times my head bored the brunt of the low beams but that was expected. One thing I would recommend is putting a coloured strip on the step from the living/dinning room to the kitchen, As the tiles are the same colour we had a couple of trips, Otherwise a really great place and would love to return.

  It's so well equipped and the welcome pack was an extra nice touch. Our friends suggested some white tape along the edge of the step from the sitting room to the kitchen and the last step into the kitchen from upstairs, we all missed our footing more than on ce. More hangers, please, a small niggle. A very enjoyable stay.

  Cannot fault a thing. Clean, warm, cosy, well equipped and close to everything. It's perfect and we never want to leave. Literally seconds from the beach. The Bay bar and restaurant on the beach is lovely, great staff and the food is lush! Wander a few minutes further and there are more pubs and a couple of shops. You never need to leave! I've said it in a previous review, Cousham Cottage is like a warm hug. It truly is. Can't wait until our next stay.

• "This is a traditional cottage very close to the beach."

  The owners have managed to provide all the modern conveniences whilst maintaining a “cottagy” feeling. Downstairs there are two modern bathrooms, one with bath, one with a really good shower, both with heated towel rails. Hot water is plentiful. The kitchen is well accessorised. Nice dining area by the window; cosy and comfortable sitting area with wood burning stove. There is also a handy internal room for keeping wood and bits and pieces. Two good-sized bedrooms upstairs, and great outdoor patio area on this floor. Well furnished and accessorised throughout - simple, not tacky. You can’t park there, but the car park is close and you can drive close by to load and offload. We thought it was a good place in a good location.

• "We stay at Cousham Cottage twice a year."

  It is like a warm hug. You can tell that it’s a much loved property. Everything you need is there, spotlessly clean too. A few steps from the beach, pubs and and stunning views. We really wouldn’t want to change where we stay in this part of Cornwall. The cottage couldn’t be improved upon. Two bathrooms, one has a lovely walk in shower and the other a bath, so you’re well catered for there! Beautiful, modern kitchen with all the equipment you need. The lounge diner is cosy and warm and the wood burner adds to that. Bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds and beautiful, crisp linen. The garden is so pretty and a wonderful place to sit and chill. Although there isn’t a parking space, this is not an issue in the slightest. You can park very close by to unpack your car and the car park is just a short stroll away. We paid £39 to park for the week (via an app), which I think is very reasonable. The housekeeper, Liz, is just a star. She ensures we have a marvellous stay every time. The cottage is always in top notch order whenever we’ve stayed. What more can I say? It’s perfect!

• "We really enjoyed our stay."

  Our only comments meant entirely constructively is we felt the initial supply of logs was poor and the lounge needed the fire to be comfortable, and that when paying for a week a greater supply of loo roll should be provided. We let a cottage on airbnb where we supply all loo roll and two large baskets of logs. We love the cottage and had a great time so just minor points for consideration

• "Cousham Cottage is where we stay twice a year."

  It's absolutely perfect. Quirky, homely and really well loved. Every comfort you could want. It is always spotless and this goes for the towels and bedding too. Liz, who looks after the cottage, is a star. I can't recommend it highly enough. Seconds from the sea too. The car park is 2 minutes walk away and very reasonably priced. When you arrive however, you can park very close to the front door to unload your vehicle. There is a lovely patio area if you want to sit outside, reached by going upstairs! So pretty and there is a partial sea view. It's our piece of heaven for a week.

• "Cousham Cottage is a delight."

  It has a super location in a very quiet street but only a few steps to the beach, and is a quirky but very well laid-out old cottage. The only minor drawback is that it is a typical old cottage with low ceilings and doorways, so you need to mind your head! It was beautifully clean and well equipped, and plenty of space for four people.

• "The cottage oozes character and history and has been generally well modernised."

  The owners had generously provided more kitchen items than we were expecting, very helpful. The new bathroom with walk in rain shower was wonderful. A couple of niggles: the bathroom was not completely clean. We did not need to use the front bathroom, however, no water came out of the hot tap, so we could have had issues. The cottage instruction pack needs updating by the owner. A car parking pass is no longer provided but we spent a lot of time looking for one, as referred to in the instructions. The local councils have changed their practice and require a registration number to be entered on parking passes. This would be a valuable benefit as guests are required to use the village car park apart from loading and unloading. It would not be too difficult for the owner and Sykes to require future bookers to provide their car registration numbers in advance so that the owner/housekeeper could purchase a permit and have it waiting in the cottage. The cottage in Devon we had booked for the week prior offered this benefit which we appreciated. Otherwise, Sykes should make it very clear in the Cousham cottage advertising that bookers would benefit from ordering a weekly pass in advance from the local council. Finally, the spiral staircase required extra care to negotiate, especially when descending. Apart from these niggles, we enjoyed the cottage and particularly the roof terrace at wine o'clock, very much indeed.

• "Beautiful cottage, perfectly situated in the heart of the village with great access to beaches, pubs and a few local shops."

  Great that the cottage is dog friendly, as is the nearby beach in Kingsand and wonderful coastal walks and the grounds surrounding Mount Edgecombe. For those days you want to escape village life, a ferry connects directly to the historic Barbican in Plymouth. The cottage itself is comfortable, well equipped and immaculately clean, with a little secluded courtyard offering some outdoor space to eat, drink and listen to the sea nearby. We very much look forward to returning.

• "Cottage is lovely and has everything that we required."

  We have stayed several times, being honest I would say that there are a few things that need looking into. Lots of chipped mugs and glasses, the kitchen tap that falls apart and the side gate which has a dodgy lock (these were a problem last year too!). However, these are minor things that did not spoil the experience. A lovely place and we would come back again. ***Owner response***I’m glad you found the cottage lovely. We always try to address everything that comes up immediately. We have replaced all the chip mugs and the tap, which has a moving part can become loose on occasion. will be fixed. We are aware the gate can be affected by the weather and can get a bit stiff. We plan to replace this in the Autumn. I’m sorry if this was an inconvenience to you and we look forward to seeing you again.

The one disadvantage was that both bathrooms were downstairs and the stairs need care when using but all the other advantages and proximity to the beach far outweigh this disadvantage.

Lounge appeared much bigger in website photos than it actually was, but we enjoyed its cosiness, it wasn't a problem at all. Only slightly critical comment is that I feel it is misleading and inaccurate to say that heating is included, when we actually needed the wood burner to be warm, and yet only a small quantity of logs, sufficient for one evening, were provided.
