  For two people, the cottage is functional, cosy and proved a good base for seeing the area, with good off road car parking.

  The bed is comfortable and the kitchen had a good selection of crockery and cutlery. The welcome tray was also a very nice touch. We believe the cottage would benefit having clear instructions being left, for example what to do with recycling and linen. The main downside was the check in and check out times. We appreciate that in the current climate more time may be required to conduct a thorough clean between stays, however we found a check out by 9am was very early (too early) and it would benefit future guests if this was extended to 10am or preferably 11am, still leaving considerable time as you can’t check in before 6pm on arrival. It’s a shame that the local pub has closed as this would have helped improve our stay by giving options closer to home and in walking distance. We are also conscious that we were lucky that schools weren’t in during our stay as the cottage backs onto a playing field, during term times this could impact privacy due to noise (although we did not have this experience).

  Second year running I’ve booked my Cornish holiday through Sykes.

  Very easy and friendly to deal with, both via the app/online and over the phone. ‘Bolitho’s Retreat’ was a lovely 1 bed getaway; very well appointed, and maintained. It was clear the owners had gone an extra step in fitting the rental out with touches to make it feel like a home. Very quite location, 10 mins walk to a pub with excellent food and the location gave easy access to the Lizard, West Cornwall and the Falmouth areas Only thing missing, and this is purely personal, was WiFi. We had no phone signal in the cottage and this would have aided us in staying in contact with family. As I said, purely personal as I know a lot of folk like to ‘getaway’ when on Holliday. Thanks to the owners Scott and Vicky who we met on arrival - a great stay

  The cottage is situated in the heart of the countryside with immediate access to fields and footpaths including the coastal path which we very much enjoyed exploring.

  The local town which includes a well stocked shop and two pubs, is about 20 mins walk via footpaths and small back roads recommended by the owner, rather than taking the main road. Swallows cottage is a haven of peace and tranquility with a beautiful garden and orchard area. The very spacious cottage is well equipped and has everything you need and wonderfully there is no wi-if and minimal phone signal so it is possible to really take a break from work and get away from it all. The owners are very friendly, welcoming and helpful and make themselves available if you need them but otherwise you feel as if you have the place to yourself. We enjoyed the week very much and will definitely return, thank you! :)

  We went for the second two weeks in January 24.

  Looked for a place with gas central heating (controllable and clean, as opposed to wood burners or storage heaters), a good price and location. We were not disappointed. The property was warm when we arrived. The whole property was bright spacious and clean. The bedroom upstairs was large with a big comfortable bed. The open plan downstairs was perfect with a good TV. The shower was excellent. The property had everything we needed. We are in our 70's and there was no problem with the stairs. Nice quiet location from which to access all of west Cornwall, north and south.. Good for a summer or winter visit..

  Excellent little cottage, it had everything we needed (although a non-slip bath mat would be good addition) and our little Welsh Terrier enjoyed exploring the large garden.

  There was only one drawback for us; the road into St Keverne can be dangerous to walk. There is a route through the fields, but that proved to be overgrown and a little arduous for two 69 year olds. The two pubs in St K serve lovely food and good beer, if that’s your choice and one has a take-away service if you’re feeling lazy. It’s an easy, pleasant drive to the tourist traps, although try to avoid Helston at rush hour. Do try Coverack, about 10 mins away. All in all, a lovely week spent with friendly people in beautiful countryside.
