• "Boskewys is a very comfortable and warm cottage with everything that you need for your stay."

  The house itself has low ceilings and doors so the taller members of our party had to mind their heads. We had a lovely stay and will definately look to book Boskewys again in the future.

  Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed a comfortable stay at Boskewys and would like to return. We look forward to welcoming you back again sometimes in the future - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

• "The shower in the main bathroom was a disaster."

  Kept going hot and cold even though we followed the instructions. However we used the shower in the summer house and that was fine. Overall cleanliness was ok but could have been better but saying that, we are both very ocd. Overall a very nice house, with good amenities and well placed

  Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. That issue with the shower is very odd! We will keep an eye on it. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

• "We like using Sykes cottages and plan to do many more visits."

  We find the company very easy to deal with and the staff (over the phone) very professional. We did find the cottage in an “okay” state when we arrived. And understand that it may not have been used for a week or two as there were some impressive spider webs spanning the width of the conservatory. Both my wife and I are chronic arachnophobes but I did manage to remove them (go me). Other than this minor issue we did enjoy our stay very much and think we left the place in a better place than we found it. It’s a lovely house. It’s near The Pityme Inn which is an okay pub. The food is good. However further up the road (45 mins walk) is The Mariners which is a fabulous pub. A chip shop and bakery are also just up the road. The cottage is a great base for your stay. Though one thing to note is the bins were collected on Thursday not Friday as the inventory states. Which is why the bins were full when we arrived and also why we left them full (caught us out too). We did message Sykes about it as we obviously want to use them again and don’t want to get into trouble. On the whole don’t let “the spider web” part of our stay put you off going. It is a stunning property with a self contained one bed house in the garden. The beds are comfy too. Over all once the eight legged horrors were removed (comes with old houses sadly) we enjoyed a very pleasant stay.

  Thank you for sharing feedback from your holiday at Boskewys. We are so glad you enjoyed staying at the property and all it has to offer. It seems that the hairy 8 legged kind have also taken a liking to the property, and we are impressed that you overcame the arachnophobia enough to deal with the little critters. We have shared this with our housekeeping team and hope you will visit again as we'd love to welcome you back - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner. Property Owner

• "Boskewys is delightful, all utensils you could wish for in the kitchen."

  Personally I found the extremely comfortable large sofa very difficult to get up from, having said that, that was my problem having had a hip replacement in May!! The garden and summerhouse was a great bonus, although access wasn't great as whichever set of steps you accessed by was hindered by brambly thorny rogue overhangs. I'll bring my secateurs next time

• "Lovely little cottage in good location, comfy beds and huge sofa the kids wanted to take home!"

  Good Wi-Fi but no tv signal. It’s a bit worn and not very modern but perfectly adequate.

• "Boskewys was an absolutely wonderful home away from home for a week for our party of 6."

  The house is large and easily accommodated all of us, and we especially loved the huge conservatory. It is equipped with every possible thing you could want in a house in Cornwall from a blender and a mixer to bodyboards in the garage, and it was very comfortable, clean and in a brilliant location. One thing to be aware of is that many of the ceilings are quite low, but that comes with it being a period property. The only slightly disappointing thing about our stay was that there was a planned maintenance of the power cables on the property during our stay - not the fault of the owner of course, but we were not informed of this beforehand, and only discovered it when all the lights went out, which meant we had to adjust our plans for cooking and activities for that day. Other than that small hiccup it was a wonderful place and I highly recommend it!

  Thank you for your kind comments, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Boskewys. Sorry for the inconvenience of the maintenance to the power cables, this was beyond our control and we hope it didn't impair on your enjoyment of your holiday.

• "Wonderful cottage."

  Was large enough for my family of 6(3 teenagers). Kitchen full of everything you could ask for and 2 fridges were an added bonus. The wonderful added bonus was the shower aid seat. This was because 2 weeks before our holiday my daughter had a nasty break to her arm. Knowing there was no bath in the cottage we did worry a little but upon arriving we found seat so she could shower (which was large as well) and wash her hair without getting her cast wet. The summer house was wonderful for the teenagers to hide away when they needed to. The local butchers is a must for bacon and sausage, both to die for. If you want certain bakery items then you need to rise before 8am to pickup as they sell out very fast. The only downside is not having a list of places to go to find items, Google maps really help with this (supermarkets etc). We arrived very late and all shops local were closed so supplies had to wait till morning. Basic supplies would have been nice if offered as this cottage is in the middle of nearly no--where. We all rate this cottage as fantastic. And didn't want to end our holiday!

  Dear guests Thank you for this feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed the stay in our cottage. We are glad that the shower seat came in useful - up to now we haven’t needed to use it ourselves but no doubt the time will come! Your points re supplies and shops have been noted.
