Reviews
"A lovely cottage located in an excellent central location just off the A30 making it an ideal base to explore all of Cornwall. The cottage has lots of character and is far larger inside than it appears from the exterior photos. Nice country style kitchen with a Rayburn cooker which we really liked but some people may find strange if they are used to a normal gas or electric cooker. With a living room, sitting room and reading room downstairs there is plently of room for families or friends who do not want to spend all of their time together. It's central location means you can easily explore anywhere in Cornwall within about a 40 mile drive. There is a very good gastro pub 'The Plume of Feathers' just a short walk from the cottage and a couple of miles away down a typical narrow Cornish Road is 'The Pheasant Inn' which offers good food at very reasonable prices. We enjoyed our stay and would certainly book this cottage again. Only downside is that there is no rear garden, although there is a small patio area to the front."
"We had lots of trips out and about anf ound the this great cottage a perfect base. The aGa really impressed Mum and Nan and the separate front room was a good place to relax and read if the rest of the family wanted to watch TV"
"The accomodation was comfortable, locality was central for the places we visited. We have booked the cottage again for 2011 which says it all"
"+ Nice and fully fitted house with a lot of space. Comfortable kitchen. - You need the car for everything. No grocery store in Mitchell."
"I sent a review of the accommodation soon after we stayed in the property. Briefly, we liked the house but felt some general information e.g. bus timetables, details of bin collection days and arrangements, nearest shop and route, and reviews of local pubs and restaurants would have helped, and given a more personal feel. the local pub, The Plume of Feathers, just a few yards awsy, was excellent. The menu was interesting but not fussy, the food superb. Staff, food, atmosphere and the weekly pub quiz made for a welcoming experience."
"Lovely cottage which is much bigger inside than it looks. Ideally placed for touring and a lovely pub / restaurant a few yards away. The service from Sykes Cottages was brilliant and we will certainly be booking through Sykes again. Many thanks for a superb holiday."
