  • "Excellent property, so well equipped especially the kitchen!"

    Lots of lovely touches, like the milk for a cuppa after a 9 hour drive and the cream scones to go with it. The house was spotless and very well maintained. Only problem was the water to the bathroom on the top floor but we knew about it in advance.

  • "We had a fantastic stay beds comfortable the building work started at 7."

    30/ so we didn’t have any lie ins until Saturday and Sunday. But it didn’t ruin the holiday, if the price hadn’t gone up as much for next year we would have booked again for two weeks.the location was fantastic, plus 2 parking spaces bonus. Beautiful walks we only used the van twice we will be going lizard again and we will use Sykes cottages again that’s definitely.

    Everything we needed was available and more! the cream tea, flowers and milk were very much appreciated on our arrival. For anyone who visits with dogs be assured the garden is secure and practical with lots of walks for furry friends in the surrounding area. The bed was extremely comfortable and fabulous views from the bedroom window, the twin bedroom was extremely pretty and again fabulous views. We thank the owners for sharing their beautiful property with us and would highly recommend, so much so we have already booked for next year. From Colin and Anne price

  • "Henry's Croft is a very nice property located in a convenient location for exploring the Lizard and surrounding Cornwall."

    2 parking spots are a bonus. It is very well equipped, especially in the kitchen, which pleased my partner, and very clean. We wouldn't hesitate to return there. My only comment is that the top floor bedroom is quite noisy when it is windy (as something seems to flap around in the loft) and I think mention should be made in the listing about the building site directly behind the house.

  • "The Lizard is a really great spot to holiday and has a great vibe."

    There are plenty of things to do- lots of shops for delicious ice cream, places for food and drink (for a real treat head to Ann’s pasties- WOW!) or to see the local sights, check out the most southerly point in the UK, head to Kynance Cove, etc. The house itself was really great, very much a home from home. It accommodated 4 adults and 2 children plus a little dog perfectly for a week! Well equipped, most things have been thought of from washing up liquid, to dishwasher tablets, to toilet rolls and even some washing capsules for clothes. I have stayed in properties where nothing but 2 tea towels were provided! There was also a cream tea in the fridge on our arrival. The beds were comfortable, the bedding nice. Aside from the shower on the top floor being a bit temperamental with its temperature and perhaps being a bit smaller than we’re used to (personal preference) the view from the doors more than makes up for it. The listing and the photos are accurate. A couple of small points- there are some parts of the sofa that are quite worn but it’s generally comfortable and sat 4 adults easily. The windowsills in the living room (behind the sofa) and in the twin room were dusty, not a big deal. We had to wash some of the kitchen items before using them, probably as a result of a previously overstuffed dishwasher. All in all, nothing that would stop us returning, just a bit of balanced feedback as these were so minor in what was frankly a superb holiday! Thank you so much

    Thank you for your comments - it’s always good to get helpful feedback. Glad you enjoyed your holiday at the Lizard. Property Owner

  • "Such a long way to get there but well worth the effort."

    Many things to do on The Lizard itself without using the car for a week. Comfortable, modern, home from home, ideally situated almost in the centre of the village. We have returned many times and hope to do so again. Unfortunately we had to leave a few days early due to a family funeral, consequently we didn't get the "how to leave the property" message until we had left.. hopefully we got most of it right!

    Thank you so much for staying with us again. Sorry to hear about your family funeral and absolutely no problem with departure procedures. Jane Property Owner

  • "The house was in a great location for local amenities and was equipped well."

    Top floor bedroom was a great size and good views but the shower was on the small size being a curved corner cubicle and a struggle with broad shoulders. Also you could not shower if water was being used elsewhere in the house. This could be easily resolved by installing a small water pump. The bed was far to low to the ground in the top bedroom and could easily be moved and raised to make the best of the views. Great holiday

    This property had every thing we required, it is very well equipped. The super markets are on the main road to the Lizard, around 15 minuets from Henry's Croft, Tesco, Sainsburys and Lidl. (Lidl is not on the main road to the Lizard, but is only 0.9 of a mile away on Penzance Road). We had some delicious fish and chips and drinks at The Top House Inn which was warm and welcoming, dogs are also allowed. The Smugglers Fish and Chip shop was also very good as is Anne's Pasties, all less than a 5 minuet walk and I'm a slow walker. A fantastic location for coastal walks spectacular scenery, We saw female sparrow hawks, seals and rabbits. We arrived to milk biscuit's and fresh flowers. I would defiantly recommend this lovely property. We all had a wonderful stay and wanted for nothing.

  • "Whilst the furniture was both comfortable and practical and the house was clean and well presented, we were disappointed with the 2nd floor bedroom and bathroom."

    There was no mention of the lack of water pressure which rendered the bathroom water supply useless if water was being used elsewhere in the house ie the washing machine or the other bathroom facilities were being used by other people. Several times there was no water coming out of the taps and the shower was a waste of time there was just a slow trickle from it , it also went from freezing to scalding when it did work, and the cubicle was so small you couldn't turn or bend down to wash properly. The bedroom wardrobe was too small as it is a half height so couldn't hang dresses in it or clothing any longer that a shirt. I don't consider this to be satisfactory and would advise the owners to look at getting a better water supply maybe a header tank in the loft space, and some sort of hanging rail. The rest of the house was great and well equipped .
