• "A lovely place to stay in Cornwall."

  Situated in very rural countryside and close to both coasts (approx 15 mins). The layout of the property is nice; all on one level (apart from a couple of separate small steps) so very accessible. Cosy lounge and log burner (could do with clarity on log supply - is it limited or as needed?) - we had one refill of logs but were left without on our last night. Lovely kitchen diner which was well equipped. Outside is enclosed once the gates are shut which meant we could let the dogs out without any worry. The wire on the gates could do with replacing as there’s quite a few rusty ends sticking out at the latch end. The review has only three stars solely because the double bedroom is damp (the rest of the property is really nice). When we arrived the room smelled damp and musty and the smell didn’t really dissipate during our stay. We found that anything in contact with the walls at the back of the room got wet (suitcase and dog crate / dog bedding) and the bed itself felt slightly damp. This was only evident in this one room but obviously impacts on your stay being one of the main rooms you use. The bathroom needs a bit of tlc - some cracked and / or missing tiles but everything works well. The information pack could also do with a bit of an update / tidy up. Would we stay here again? Yes if we knew the bedroom damp had been resolved.

• "The property was great for our needs to provide a comfortable social space for a big family gathering."

  We simultaneously rented The Mill. The open plan upstairs layout was perfect for eating together as a big group and having lots of spaces for cosy chats. We challenged the kitchen space with large dinners and it met up to our requirements. It was very well equipped and we wanted for nothing. The bedrooms were spacious and comfy and the bathrooms met our needs. Outdoors the animal feeding/watching and the badminton/football space were very popular for all age groups and it was great for a base for cycling and running. Lots of parking space too. We’re coming back! ASAP! Thank you.

• "The water in the bath was very slow to run out when you took a shower due to the mechanical plug hardly opening, so that you were standing in a couple of inches of water by the time you finished."

  The handle on the shower screen was also loose. My only other criticism is that the bath towels were far too small. You should be able to comfortably wrap a bath towel around your waist (I’m 38 inch). These were child sizes. Some may think I’m picky; just my opinion! Other than these minor points, the cottage was fine, with a good view from the sun room, was centrally heated, had a log burner (which we didn’t use), had a comfortable bed and a well equipped kitchen. TV and Wi-Fi internet were ok, and TV in the bedroom was a bonus. We were able to park right outside which was great. We were informed by Sykes cottages that the owners would meet us on arrival at 5pm to give us the keys. This wasn’t the case. On arrival the key was just left in the outside door lock, for us to let ourselves in. As we left at 4.30am on our last day, we never met or had any dealings with the owners. The cost of the cottage for the week was good value for the time of year (mid Feb), and it is well placed for visiting Hayle, Helston, St Ives, Penzance and the surrounding areas. If asked would I stay there again, the answer would be ‘yes’.

• "Everything was good, very comfortable, easy location and lots of sights to see."

  Good location for pubs and restaurants too if choosing to eat out. A minor note - that did not spoil our stay - was the presence of a slight dampness in the double bedroom, clamy clothes etc.

  Hello Adrian please except my late reply ,glad you had a good stay at Edwin’s view , we are currently looking at the issue that you raised with the bedroom , It looks like the issue according to my builder was with the back wall behind the bed the ground level behind the bed outside was higher than the floor level inside giving rise to water ingress . Kind regards Jonathan Property Owner

• "In general the accommodation was great."

  Just a couple of niggles. Central Heating needed setting up as it was coming on in the middle of the night and cold in the evening. The settee in the lounge was uncomfortable in our opinion. Very good points The large TV Comfortable double bed. The dining table and chairs were brilliant. The kitchen had everything you needed for your holiday. The furniture in the conservatory was comfy. The hosts let you get on with your holiday but we’re there if you required them. Dog friendly, with a safe private garden for the dog to go out.

  Thank you for your feedback, which we always welcome. We have noted your comments regarding the central heating and sofa. Property Owner

• "Wonderful stay at Edwins View, only problem we had was my wife who has knee surgery was unable to get into bath/shower as bath was too deep to step into, also a shower mat might be a good idea for husband as he nearly slipped in shower area."

  Also would be a help if instruction leaflets for appliances were provided, as could not get electric oven to work and could not get dvd player to work.( could be because we are not up to date with tech!). But apart from this we had a wonderful peaceful time, and met all the animals!

  Thank you for your valuable feedback. The owner has now added a grab handle, a shower mat and instructions for the appliances. Property Owner

• "Lovely location, with peaceful, pretty outlook over fields."

  The cottage stayed relatively cool through the heatwave, which was a godsend. The best thing was the privacy, the outlook for stargazing and the dog-friendliness of the enclosed garden, although we were disappointed that there was no field to safely walk him off the lead. The kitchen was light on glasses and plates so we had to keep washing up. The photos are really quite artfully taken as the reality was more lived-in. That's the only thing that would stop us booking here again.

• "Everything was really nice at Edwins View, our only concern was on arrival we nearly dropped down the waste water manhole in the entrance that was covered with a galvanized tin sheet instead of a proper manhole cover."

  not a problem once we found it then we new to be wary of it.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at our property. Thank you for bringing this to out attention. We have now replaced the manhole cover and the issue has been resolved. We hope to see you again sometime soon. Property Owner

• "A comfortable cottage."

  Everything you needed for a nice pleasant stay. Lovely location, perfect for exploring south west Cornwall. Our only niggles were the TV being on the wall, we find it uncomfortable to watch at this height and put another settee in the conservatory, we spent most of our evenings in here, relaxing and reading. It's quiet and a lovely view. Overall a lovely cottage.

• "Should be advertised as part of a complex of holiday let’s."

  We thought it was a stand alone holiday let. Privacy severely compromised by parked cars right by the lounge and bedrooms. Needed to keep blinds drawn. TV at a neck aching height. Shower screen not properly sealed, water cascaded onto the floor. Bathroom vent did not work. Oven very dirty and rusty. The whole barn although charming and rustic had an unfinished feel about it. Definitely not 4 star property. Never once had personal contact with Sykes. Felt very automated and impersonal.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback and bring these matters to our attention. Please accept our apologies about the oven, this was an oversight on our behalf. We will be addressing the other points mentioned and additional parking will be available shortly to ease the privacy issue. In addition, we are considering your comments about description of the listing and looking to amend this. Property Owner
