Stokes Cottage

This cottage is small but well laid out.

The kitchen is well organised and has everything you need to prepare and cook meals. The shower room is lovely and felt very clean, and the beds were comfortable with lovely linen. The cottage is well situated for visiting Rock, Porthilly, Wadebridge and Polzeath. Unfortunately, when we arrived I noticed a strong smell of damp in the living room. I think it was coming from the carpet, which also felt damp in places. On the next day of our stay we returned to the cottage to find the radiator in the master bedroom had come away from the wall on one side. So, overall, although the cottage was lovely and well maintained for the most part, we couldn't use the living room due to the strong smell of damp. Thankfully we had a sunny week so didn't need to use the heating.

Everything was exactly as advertised, clean,tidy & cosy would probably benefit from having a tumble dryer as unfortunately we had a wet week.

But would definitely book again.

A charming cottage to stay, thank you to the Host.

Only one thing that I would like to mention is that Stokes Cottage does not include towels so in our situation, staying at two other future properties, one of which is another Sykes, we had to bring our own towels for 3 nights out of a two week holiday.

There was a musty smell in the cottage.

The yard is a lot smaller than envisaged. But overall it was very clean and had everything we needed, it was a great base for us to go out and about

We had a lovely stay at Stokes cottage.

It was in a great location for exploring Cornwall. The property had everything we needed, it was clean and comfortable and very quiet. The garden area was lovely to sit out in.

Lovely cottage, lots of cleaning products available.

Although just the 2 of us were staying, I checked the bedding on the twin beds & one had not been changed, evidence of having been slept in. Also lots of black long hair in double bedroom on floor, so unsure floors had been hoovered before our stay. The cottage on the whole is beautiful & in a lovely little village. We enjoyed fourways hospitality.

Lovely, cosy cottage which was nice to come home to after a day out.

Detailed cleaning a little neglected but didn't ruin the stay here. Rubbish in the outdoor bin store wasn't collected before we arrived, but there was still some room to put ours in at the end of our stay. We did call John Bray's regarding this. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.

A perfectly formed gem of a cottage, compact but everything you need with a very well appointed kitchen.

The best kitchen I have had to work in for many years, sharp knives I can use. Little waging line to hang wetsuits. We would love to book again. Perfect location between Rock and The beach.

Really enjoyed our stay with our two grandchildren, so convenient for the beaches and very peaceful.

The cottage was lovely and we had no problem with the facilities as a previous customer had, all it takes is to read the instructions in the booklet concerning the facilities in the cottage. The only negative is the pub is no longer open as it says in the description of the cottage. As regards the Sykes website it's a nightmare and wouldn't be going through them again to rent a property. Totally unable to get any communication from them, John Bray however very helpful, i think they are part if Sykes but that us n8t made clear.

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 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.

Super cosy and clean cottage, really comfortable.

A comfortable cottage in a great location, just a few minutes from Rock and Polzeath.

It has been well maintained and had everything we needed for a lovely holiday!

Unfortunately we found black mould in the corner of the bedroom with the twin beds.

The mould ran down the corner of the room and above the skirting board behind the bed. This is particularly concerning as my Son has a lung condition and we had to clean the wall and move him out of the room.

Cosy small cottage, but tastefully decorated and nice and clean, and had everything we needed.

Good location....good access to Rock, Polzeath and Port Isacc. Not sure if owner aware, but the pub a few doors down closed a week before we arrived, which was a shame. We partly chose cottage as pub in village....but not much you can do about this. Fyi, we had some difficulties getting hob to work....but did eventually. Perhaps clearer instructions would be helpful. Overall, good quality cottage and would definitely return!!

We enjoyed our stay at Stokes Cottage.

It was cosy and comfortable. Had everything we needed and a very convenient base for touring this beautiful area.
