"Fantastic cottage."
Lots of space, with large living room / dining room, and a sizeable conservatory. Decent sized walk in shower cubicle with lovely powerful shower. Kitchen very well equipped with everything you could need. The cottage was spotlessly clean, the welcome treats on arrival were a lovely surprise. Graham was so friendly, helpful, and genuinely concerned when our dog had to go to the vet with a shoulder strain. I would definitely recommend staying here - great location to explore Helston, Falmouth and the Lizard. Don’t be put off by the narrow lanes - Sheila’s Cottage is an absolute gem with perfect peace and quiet.

"If you are looking for peace and quiet this really is the place for you, and yet it’s ideally situated as a base for exploring the area."
Very comfortable and spotlessly clean, with all you would need during your stay. Excellent information for finding the cottage, the local area, and equipment you may need to use, given by Greame and Gail, who are both very welcoming and on hand to help if required. I would thoroughly recommend Sheila’s Cottage, and will be looking to book again in the future.

"From the extra information we were sent the property was very easy to find."
It was clean and had all the equipment you needed for a good stay, even down to torches in every room. Very pleased we booked it.
-
"Perfect place - larger than the pictures showed."
A complete list of how everything worked, was very useful. The owners, who lived next door, were very helpful, but discreet. Very quiet, but not far from things to do and see, so long as you had a car. Felt very comfortable there.
-
"Fantastic accomodation, exceptionally high standard all round."
The owners had apparently previously recieved some negative feedback re the bed which they have now replaced. As first users of it we can report it’s super comfortable! The fact they immediately act on feedback sums up their approach to providing a great service to guests.
-
"Very well equipped cottage The bed and pillows could be a little more comfortable"

The cottage is just so homely it’s ideal for me being on one level and close to family despite the most awful weather during our stay we enjoyed our break hopefully all being well we will return again later in the year to Sheila’s cottage as of the hosts you couldn’t ask for a nicer couple and although they are only next door they are no bother quite the opposite which is why we like to keep going back to such a wonderful place

"I would highly reccomend Sheila's Cottage."
A comfortable cottage, very well equipped with everything you need. Located in a beautiful, quiet and peaceful position, surrounded by fields and within an easy drive to shops etc. The charming owners live on the property and are friendly, polite and helpful without being obtrusive.

Quiet location. Owner attentive but not intrusive. An ideal location to visit in Southern Cornwall, but a beautiful cottage to just relax in. Thoroughly recommended.
-
"Sheila’s Cottage was perfect in every way."
Quiet, picturesque surroundings in the owners garden. The cottage, with its super conservatory a bonus, had everything needed for a great relaxing break. We wanted for nothing, there was plenty of crockery, cutlery and cooking gear galore….all spotless. Decorated in a cosy fashion…lots of cupboards containing fascinating items, and plenty of books and games etc. Kitchen was amazing and cooker was easy to work. Shower was lovely and powerful in the en-suite bathroom. Plenty of storage space…in a fitted wardrobe. Graeme and Gail were lovely hosts who left us milk, chocolates and wine, and we left with a cutting of a very unusual plant!! A top notch property….we loved it here!

Roomy, very comfortable and immaculately clean and tidy. Great conservatory and very well equipped throughout especially the kitchen. Friendly and helpful hosts.

"Pleasure to meet Graeme and Gail who live in the house next to Sheila’s Cottage."
The property is immaculate and gives a home from home feeling. Every thing you need in the kitchen is there and the shower had good pressure and temperature which we find a must. Plenty of room to relax in the lounge/ dinning room and a beautiful large conservatory.

The cottage was spotless, in a very quiet location and with every possible amenity provided. The information provided about the facilities was very comprehensive and left nothing to chance.

"Delightful cottage in a lovely quiet setting, spotless and has everything you may need."
Thoughtful welcome gift for us and our dog Lenny. Can recommend the Cornish Barista cafe only a short walk away at the activity centre overlooking cliffs and a reservoir. The owners gave us a warm welcome, leave you to it, but are there if you need them for anything. Highly recommended.
-
"Back again!"
This cottage with its large conservatory is ideal for us and our dog, being comfortable and well provided, while relatively remote and peaceful. It is well placed as a base from which to motor to any of the wonderful walks of the SW peninsula while Truro, Penryn, and Falmouth are easily accessible, and if you avoid the rush hour, they are never as crowded as the North coast resorts.
-
"Everything about our experience was perfect."
Dealing with Sykes Cottages was vastly superior to our experience with other companies and can be recommended. Sheila's Cottage can also be strongly recommended. It was faultlessly clean, very highly equipped, superbly located and a real delight.
-

"A lovely home from home cottage, very well equipped"
-
"We would strongly recommend Sheila's Cottage to anyone wanting to visit Penryn/Falmouth/Truro coastline, or further afield."
It truly is a lovely 'home from home' experience. Everything, was so cosy, clean and welcoming. Graeme and Gail left us a bottle of wine, fresh flowers, chocolates and treats for our dog, as well as even laying the fire in the log burner ready for us. Central heating through-out, which was timed perfectly, so that we were always warm in October. Even extra niceties, such as fresh milk in the fridge, the little things you might forget to take such as cooking oil, condiments ect all provided. This was on top of all cleaning products provided, including dishwasher and washing machine tabs. Extremely comfortable bed, pillows ect. This cottage has it all, including peace and quiet if you need a restful break. It also has a lovely conservatory, with comfortable seating to put your feet up and enjoy the evenings drawing in, in comfort. Cards, games, CDs, DVDs also provided if you want to fill some time. Our hosts were lovely and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. I mistakenly left my hairdryer and kindle behind and they kindly informed me and posted it out to me the same day, wrapped in bubble wrap for protection. Also, sitiated close to all amenities and dog friendly beaches in half term. Quite frankly, in our experience we can honestly say that the whole week was made for us with such a lovely clean, inviting and cosy cottage to return to each day. Thank you Graeme and Gail for a lovely holiday that we both felt was a breath of fresh air for us, as well as extremely good value for money. This cottage surpassed all our expectations, thank you! It is definitely on our radar for return visits.

"Our second visit to Cornwall, but our first stay in Sheila's cottage, a beautiful, comfortable cottage set in idyllic surroundings, enhanced by a large conservatory with generous comfortable chairs."

"This cottage is equipped with everything one possibly need, and is extremely comfortable for a couple plus their dog."

"We booked Sheilas Cottage to give us a convenient base in order to explore the SW Coastal path between Falmouth & Mevagissey."
The cottage was great, very well equipped and comfortable. Owners live next door and Graeme & Gail were perfect hosts. Lovely welcome pack on arrival inc bottle of wine and chews for the dog. Lots of thoughtful touches. Some great walking on the doorstep and around neighbouring reservoirs (Argal) and the coast is only 15-20 mins away with Trelissick Gardens & the Roseland area / Mevagissey easy to reach via the King Harry ferry from Trelissick. Nearby Truro was a morning well spent too. Highly recommend this cottage.
-
"Fantastic cottage with absolutely everything you could need supplied."
It was spacious, comfortable and quiet and the hosts were friendly and helpful. Easy access to the wonderful Cornish countryside. The address given was aa little misleading as it is several miles from Penryn.

"We have never been in a cottage which was so well equipped a real credit to the owners will most certainly return."

"Sheila's cottage is probably the best we have stayed in."

"Great proprietor, really welcoming, helpful and friendly."
-
"We were made very welcome by the friendly and helpful hosts,Gail and Graham."
Sheila’sCottage is very well equipped,,spotlessly clean,warm and comfortable.We wouldn’t hesitate to return again. John and Carol Hawley.
-
"It didn't feel like we were renting a property."
More that we had been invited to house sit for a friend. The property was beautifully appointed and lovely touches made it feel like a home and very welcome. The only reason it does not score 100% is that we would have preferred a bed larger than a double (it was accurately described however), so if you are happy with a double bed, I don't think you could go past this beautiful cottage and it's friendly and hospitable hosts.
-
"Shelia's cottage is very peaceful, clean and tidy, and it has everything you need for self catering!"
the property is in a very quite hamlet and the stars are to die for at night. The proximity to Falmouth and Truro is good and we travelled by car and found it really convenient. The property is owned by Gail and Graham, who we found to be most helpful and very friendly and made us really welcome. It was a really nice experience meeting them and staying in this lovely property and I would highly recommend it to all. Chas and Lyn Beaumont.

The property
This charming cottage is situated next to the owner's home, Druscilla Cottage, 4 miles from Penryn, Cornwall, where a wealth of historic architecture and harbour heritage are just waiting to be explored.
Ideally placed for touring Falmouth, yet tucked away into the peace and quiet, Sheila's Cottage brings you the best of both worlds.
All ground floor, the interior oozes charm and tradition, commencing in the conservatory, where a collection of arm chairs, and a small table rest amongst natural views, perfect for a peaceful breakfast time.
Continuing into the lounge/diner, floral prints and dark furnishings almost take you back in time, all tied together with a woodburning stove, setting you up for those cosy nights in.
Beyond here, discover the homely kitchen elevated by neutral units and marble effect counter-tops, a lovely place to dish up refreshments each day.
What better way to relax after a long adventure than in the comfortable double bedroom and good finish.
There is even an adjoined en-suite shower room.
Out and about, make your way around a choice of restaurants, cafes and pubs in the town, along with a museum.
The tranquil Enys Gardens rests on the outskirts of the town, while subtropical Trebah Gardens and National Trust Glendurgan are a similar distance.
Visit the National Maritime Museum for a taste of Cornwall’s sea-faring history, or the fine Tudor fortress of Pendennis Castle, set gazing out to sea.
Falmouth, includes a host of things to keep you entertained including harbour-side pubs and eateries with spectacular views, Blue Flag beaches and a lively town centre.
A precious addition to Halvasso.
The local walking is best in class with the Helford River, Coast Path and rural rambles.
