  • "We have had a fantastic week at this gorgeous cottage."

    furnished to a high standard, spotlessly clean, the owners have thought of everything you could possibly need for a holiday. Extra touches such as fresh flowers, cream teas and wine in the fridge were a real delight. The information pack provided by the owners is fantastic, everything you could wish to know about the cottage, walks, dog friendly beaches, eating out, takeaways and so much more. The grounds are beautiful, and our two dogs loved having a 9 acre field to run freely in. Anyone coming here with dogs just need to be aware the garden at the property isnt secure, but as i said they are free to use the field. We found this gem of a cottage ideally located for exploring Cornwall, North and South, we were really pleased to return here to peace and tranquility as places like Fowey, Mevagissey, Padstow and Polzeath were understandibly increadibly busy. The owners Ed and Nicky made us so welcome, nothing was too much trouble, and we will be booking again. Thank you so much Ed and Nicky.

Very centrally situated for visiting the Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Duchy Garden Centre etc. Our host was friendly and readily available if there were any problems.

    Cosy and comfortable, and had everything we could possibly need. The owner, Ed was lovely and welcoming, and the cream tea and fresh flowers were a lovely touch! Our puppy, Merlin, particularly loved running around the big field, and then once the sheep arrived he loved his walks in there, watching the sheep and the fish in the pond! Thank you for a lovely week!!

    Very clean and well equipped. Stunning peaceful locality about 5 mins from Lostwithiel. The hosts were very friendly and provided a bottle of wine, scones and clotted cream on arrival. There are 2 other properties as well as the owners property on the farmstead but we hardly ever saw anybody. Dogs are very welcome and are able to walk in the extensive fields adjoining the property. Lovely outlook from the sitting area and a sheltered patio area. Ideally located for access to both coast and country. Highly recommended.

  • "Excellent hosts and accomodation was superb."

    However Sykes cottages failed to mention that there are also 2 other cottages on site plus the field is available for caravan holidays. I was led to believe by your advertising /description that only one holiday accomodation was on site thinking we would experience some tranquility- the reason for choosing Wagon House. Unfortunately other families with children were on site so we didn't have the tranquility we were expecting.We do not travel alot. It was disappointing. I would welcome some feedback and possibly some compensation . We are currently in Bristol - breaking up our journey back to the Midlands. Many thanks Maria Dennis.

    I arrived to scones and a few lovely goodies. I loved The Wagon House because it had a beautiful view with patio doors and it had everything you could need for a single person like me and a dog to a couple or even two friends as the beds are link to make a super king or can be separated. I took a lot of things for cooking and they had thought of everything! I will be going again but won’t take as much stuff for kitchen need time! The Wagon House is a single storey (bungalow type) and detached small cottage set within the owners own home with has sheep, a pony, two dogs and 9 acres with beautiful ponds. I thought the area fabulous to travel around Cornwall. I want to thank the owners for being so helpful and the kindness given. I would recommend this cottage.

  • "Did not know that we were sharing the grounds with other holidaymakers."

    This is not the first time this has happened. We knew by the pictures that something was being hidden and only found out 2 days before that there were 2 other holiday lets on the property. I wish that you would be more honest about your descriptions. It is fortunate that we shared with two other couples who kept themselves to themselves and we had privacy facing away from them. We live in the middle of nowhere on a farm and we are not used to neighbours so we are always looking for a cottage away from everyone. Surely we cannot be the only couple who ask for this. I would like to add however that the landlords were excellent and we thought that the cottage was very well equipped and in excellent condition. It's the fact that there is more than one property on the land that stops us from returning there.

    Being allowed to walk around the property's fields with the dog was a very BIG plus. Welcome gifts an added bonus. Summing up a great comfortable base in all weathers, to explore a beautiful county. Negative - Perhaps it was just us, but a beast of a place to find. Perhaps the inclusion of Tanhouse Road in the address, added with the postcode, would help the Sat-Nav, find the location, as unnamed road in Sweethouse, leads you on a not so merry chase. Also you would be brave or foolhardy, to attempt the mile or so walk, along the road from the property to Lostwithiel.

About the location

LOSTWITHIEL

Bodmin 5.5 miles; Fowey 7 miles.

A delightfully peaceful country town, nestling in the Fowey river valley amid the woods and fields that characterise the area. Renowned as a centre for the antiques trade, there are several shops and dealers in the town, as well as a fine collection of country pubs, restaurants and a thriving farmer’s market. Lanhydrock House (NT) and gardens is just 3 miles away, while the fabulous Boconnoc House, Eden Project, shipwreck museum and tall ships harbour at Charlestown, and the picturesque fishing villages of Mevagissey, Fowey and Padstow, with the famous Rick Stein restaurants, are all within easy driving distance. The tumbling Atlantic surf, long sandy beaches and dramatic coastline of the north coast, including at the renowned Newquay, make for great days out and there is also chance to enjoy river canoeing, biking, hiking and leisurely walks in this lovely area. The friendly locals also have ongoing activities, such as the raft race, the famous tug of war, Carnival week and seagull outboard motor races. The river Fowey runs from the town on its 8 mile journey through the fields and wooded valleys to the gentler southern coast, a natural paradise for those who love the sea. Centrally placed, with much to do and see in the immediate area, Lostwithiel is the perfect choice for those seeking a break away from the hectic pace of the tourist resorts.
