• "This was our 7th stay at Meadow Lea, which was as wonderful as always."

  The cottage is extremely clean and very well equipped with everything you might need. It’s a real ‘home from home’ and very cosy (especially with the log burner!). The gardens are well maintained, with the autumn flowers giving a lovely display of colour. Meadow Lea is our perfect base for exploring the moors and is in driving distance of both north and south coasts. Thank you Ian and Jennifer; we thoroughly enjoy our stays at Meadow Lea and hope to back next year!

  Extremely clean and lots of nice touches making the week easy. All kitchen utensils you could want were there and little things such as having some milk in the fridge when we arrived were appreciated. The garden was lovely our dog loved running around. We would highly recommend this property. Ron & Sharon

• "We had a fabulous week at Meadowlea."

  The cottage has been thoughtfully extended, genuinely providing everything you need for a relaxing stay. no need to over pack! It's an incredibly convenient location for traveling Cornwall. Off the beaten path and private, when the drive gate was closed, our GSD had the time of his life lapping the garden! We also had our one year old in tow, so were over the moon to see so many safety considerations already applied, which helped us to relax a little more (as much as you can with a toddler!!) Ian & Jennifer made us incredibly welcome, before, during and after the stay. Ian has compiled some excellent literature on the house and activities across Cornwall. It is lovely to have some history on the cottage too. The property is immaculate and shows the love and care taken in its maintenance. We can't wait to visit this very special place again in the near future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage Ian & Jennifer :)

  Thank you very much for your lovely feedback, Deborah! We love Cornwall and enjoy sharing it with others. We shall look forward to your visiting again. Best wishes Ian and Jennifer Property Owner

• "MeadowLea was just what we needed."

  We brought our friend with us who had never experienced Cornwall so it made it all the more memorable. Although we did have a little trouble finding it at first (do not rely on the what3words on the website, and I came from a different direction so was a little confused from the given instructions), some locals helped us in the end, and it gave us time to see the wonderfull village. The owners kept in contact with us during our stay and were very helpful. In all the stays we have had through Sykes I can definitely say that meadowlea was the most organised. Everything that you could think of was to hand. My son bought some sushi from the shop and was upset he had forgotten his chopsticks...meadowlea had two sets...he was over the moon! So 5 stars from him too. The house was so clean too, and the gardens were beautiful. It was a wonderful time to come as everything was in flower and the grass and trees were so GREEN. We also loved the little history of the place and the photos on the wall, it really did make it feel so relaxing. I would like to thank Ian and Jennifer for sharing their wonderful home and hope to stay again in the future.

  We're very pleased you had a great holiday Emaleen, and will look forward to welcoming you back! Best wishes Ian and Jennifer Property Owner

  This is a second family home and as such is extremely well maintained and looked after. Very clean and everything you could possibly need on a holiday is provided. The surroundings are fantastic, if you want a peaceful, relaxing holiday this is it, from the abundance of different birds visiting daily, the sheep passing by in the lane at the bottom of the house and the resident squirrel, you could sit at the sitting room window all day. Thank you to our hosts Ian and Jennifer, who were extremely approachable and attentive and made us feel very welcome in their home, even though they weren’t there. We will definitely be back!!!!!

• "Just spent a week at meadow Lea."

  We had a lovely week. We were lucky with the weather. The cottage was cleaned to high standard on arrival. Very spacious. The garden is beautiful and very private.The cottage has 2 shower rooms and 1 bathroom All the bedrooms are very nice. Plenty of pillows. Comfy beds. We loved the ensuite shower. The kitchen has everything u need.we did do a lot of cooking. We think the other sitting room would be great with a pool table in there..we didn't use it as it was . We took our dog and it was great to know once gate was closed he could roam the garden. The only problem we found and it isn't the owners fault but I think skyes should show a picture of the steps in the garden where you park your car. We had 2 people with walking disabilities and were surprised to see all the steps as you drive through the gates to park your car. It was hard carrying all the luggage up the steps. These steps were not shown on skyes. We all loved the cottage and would definitely recommend. Also would be great if you have children . Theres table tennis.swings and games for the children to enjoy The owners kept in touch before ,during and after our stay. Thankyou very much Ian and Jennifer

• "We loved 'Meadow Lea', would definitely consider returning and would readily recommend it to others."

  We thought it was light. spacious, modern, well equipped , lovely gardens, beautifully appointed, very comfortable and quiet. 1 or 2 suggestions to make it even better would include more tv's, more extensive instructions for the ultra modern cooker and some fans, as the bedrooms became quite hot during the heatwave which occurred whilst we were there.

  Thank you for your comments Sue, and we are very pleased you enjoyed Meadowlea, especially the gardens: we work hard on them and it is always nice when people appreciate them! The full printed manufacturer's cooker instructions are in the kitchen, with highlights only on laminated cards. The cooker (new October 2016) uses touchscreens, however, which we find less easy to use than traditional dials. We will certainly consider adding some fans for the future, given the increase in heat waves. Property Owner

  The whole family agreed, it is without doubt the best holiday home we have stayed in.

  Huge garden, set in beautiful countryside, on the edge of a quiet village, which means it’s wonderfully quiet. A 40 minute drive will get you to the north Cornish coast, as well as lots of seaside towns and villages along the south coast.

  Ian the owner telephoned us a couple of days into our stay to check that we were all ok, which was a lovely gesture. The gardens were fantastic for the children to play in and there was plenty of outdoor seating so we spent a lot of our evenings outdoors star gazing. There was more than enough room for the two families and the extra freezer was particularly handy in the really hot weather. Would definitely recommend staying at Meadowlea and we will return in the future.

  The cottage is incredibly well equipped and so clean; which was a reassurance with the pandemic. We felt very safe and looked after with the detailed information from the owners on the cleaning regime. The cottage is in a peaceful location on the edge of the village and moor and it was a joy to look out and see the moorland sheep and lambs. The garden is very well maintained and it was so relaxing sitting in the evening sun after days out walking on the moor and exploring the north coast beaches. The weather was warm and sunny in the days but still cool enough at night to light the log burner and enjoy time watching the flames. All the rooms are spacious and well-furnished and the two fridges was a definite bonus. The cottage is definitely a home-from-home and has everything you will ever need. Our thanks for to the owners and we can’t wait for our third visit!
