    “This was a disaster.”

    Not only did I constantly report via live feed and chat bots the difficulties we were having getting the electric lighting in the kitchen and the cooker to work, it was as though my messages were disappearing into the ether. As I work in the media at the Financial Times as a journalist, I am used to navigating my way through web sites. I can say yours beggars belief. In desperation I rang John Bray, which sent an electrician out within 2 hours and solved the issue. I have consistently relied on ...

    Not only did I constantly report via live feed and chat bots the difficulties we were having getting the electric lighting in the kitchen and the cooker to work, it was as though my messages were disappearing into the ether. As I work in the media at the Financial Times as a journalist, I am used to navigating my way through web sites. I can say yours beggars belief. In desperation I rang John Bray, which sent an electrician out within 2 hours and solved the issue. I have consistently relied on Bray since I have been going to the area, from 1994. Also, as an owner from 2002-2005, I would wish to know that my marketing was working properly and my team were responsive. In neither case did this work. The absolute worst of customer service from Sykes & its digital "help" team.

    As the cottage owners we are really sorry that there was a presumed issue with the hob during your stay. This was exacerbated by the lack of response on the digital system, which we will let Sykes address. We are glad that the local John Bray office responded more promptly. Subsequently we did have the hob checked and it was fully functioning. As an induction hob it requires a pan to be in position before heat is produced. We will highlight this fact in the instructions. Property Owner

The property

Stokes Cottage is a charming cottage in the secluded village of St. Minver, with stylish interiors that create a calm and relaxing atmosphere. Located just up the quiet path from the enchanting 12th Century Church, the village of St. Minver is well located to gain convenient access to the best beaches on Cornwall's north coast. In this romantic yet practical home, the original cottage's character has been preserved while being meticulously updated with tasteful, contemporary furnishings and modern amenities. Unpack at leisure, pop the kettle on and relax into the sofa to start your break on 'Cornish time'. Whether it's summer with all the windows open wide and fresh air flooding in or Autumn with the evenings drawing in, this is the perfect place to pass away the hours by cuddling up with a book in front of a crackling open fire after a brisk seaside stroll! Following through into the modern and well appointed kitchen, you will find all the facilities you need to to whip up a feast. On those sun kissed, warm evenings, step outside the back door to your Cornish hideaway for a well-deserved glass of wine in the enclosed courtyard, which is finished with an appealing slate patio and surrounding landscaping. Upstairs, the charming master bedroom is flooded with natural light from the sash windows, while the bright, airy twin bedroom provides extra adults or children with their own space to relax in and unwind. The sleek, contemporary bathroom features a stand-alone shower as well as the maximum convenience of modern facilities. Within the village of St. Minver itself, the Fourways pub is conveniently located up the lane and two miles down the lanes you'll reach your first local beach at Rock. Here you can potter along the coastal path, explore the dunes and at low tide, take a stroll around Brea Hill to Daymer Bay. For those seeking adventure, be sure to contact Camel Ski School for water-skiing and sailing activities, or for a more laid-back setting, visit Four Boys cafe overlooking the estuary or The Mariner's Public House to sample Paul Ainsworth's superb pub menu. Further along the coastal path or with a short drive, you can easily reach Polzeath, Port Quin and Lundy Bay, all of which offer variety in beaches and facilities but all include stunning scenery and opportunities to soak up the Cornish landscape along the way. Children will enjoy the local surf schools, rock pools and if aiming to wear them out, nearby Camel Creek adventure park or Trevathan Farm Shop for a longer day out. Make memories together at Stokes Cottage.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
