  We have stayed at numerous properties and this could be the worst.

  On our first evening the TV failed with a bang. Richard was really helpful and arranged for a replacement. No problem there but many issues with fitments and general presentation of the property. The main door is weak and an intruder could easily gain access. Very poor security. Two bathrooms are listed. The downstairs has a hand basin and toilet. Carpeted floor with no pedestal mat. Not hygienic. The upstairs shower is desperately small and barely adequate. Heating is by night storage heaters. These are rusty and in generally poor condition. Not a good way to heat a property, particularly at this time of year when temperatures varied from quite hot to cold. All electrical appliances have inspection dates of 2017 and are cheap quality. The kettle, for instance, only worked at times if the switch was held down. Some of the plates were chipped. Cutlery was limited. A poor selection of ill sorted items. Only four table knives for instance. Certain items missing, such as a fish slice. Old cracked non stick coated frypan. Generally poorly equipped. Table too small to spread a newspaper. Two very rickety chairs. Lighting too dim to read by. No surface to put anything down other than window sills. A coffee table would have helped considerably. Little storage space in the bedroom. Two small bedside cabinets. A small desk with three drawers. A small child sized wardrobe. All looked like random charity shop purchases. No 'welcome pack' with details of nearest doctors, refuse arrangements and so on. Some of the equipment leaflets applied to items which were no longer there. Overall, very disappointing and we were pleased to be able to leave. The low rating in the recommending category is down to the almost unreadable booking details. Certainly a format that does not work with Apple computers.

  Our week-long retreat at Pol Glas Cabin was nothing short of enchanting, offering a serene escape into nature's embrace.

  From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views that greeted us, painting a picturesque backdrop for our stay. The cabin itself was immaculately cleaned, setting the stage for a truly rejuvenating experience. The highlight of our welcome was undoubtedly the thoughtful pack awaiting us, complete with freshly baked scones, milk, tea, and even Buck's Fizz—a delightful touch that immediately made us feel at home. However, it's important to note that we found ourselves quite overlooked from the neighboring property, a detail not evident from the photos. While this didn't detract significantly from our experience, it did affect our sense of privacy at times. Additionally, while the enclosed garden provided a sense of security, we noticed that a large dog could possibly escape. Adding another foot of fencing could enhance the enclosure, especially considering the proximity to the neighboring property. One of the highlights of our stay was the hot tub, which provided a blissful retreat after a day of exploring the surrounding countryside. Relaxing in the warm waters, surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature, was an experience we'll cherish for years to come. Despite these minor considerations, our time at Pol Glas Cabin was truly unforgettable. With its stunning views, impeccable cleanliness, and thoughtful amenities, it's a sanctuary we wholeheartedly recommend to anyone seeking a tranquil escape into the beauty of the countryside.

  The setting is lovely, with many lovely coves nearby and the farmhouse is spacious. The house-keeper Tamara and Jason the groundsman were both great and responsive. But, the experience of staying in this house was not up to Rural Retreat standards. The quality of the kitchen fixtures such as hob and oven, and the crockery was not first class. There were not enough glasses or mugs eg. The frying pans were old and damaged, these were replaced on request. There was also a sense of meanness in what was provided eg although there were plenty of logs for the fire the host provided only one lot of kindling, making it clear in notices that more kindling had to be purchased. This seemed inappropriately scrimping for such an expensive stay over Christmas. The windows in most of the bedrooms need replacing because they rattle with the winds and this kept us up during two windy nights. The one bedroom with a new window didn't have this problem. The water went off overnight due to a failed pump but we were told this was a one-off and it was switched to another pump the next morning. Overall I have given just three stars because it did feel rather like the Farmhouse needs a re-fresh and an up-scale in the quality of provision. This is the first time I have not given a RR stay five stars.

  To be honest, after reading a review posted a week or two before our arrival, we did wonder what we would find.

  As is usual, during our research when booking a holiday we had scrutinised the photos on Sykes' website and thought we had a fair idea of what to expect. We are glad to report there are no hidden horrors and all was as expected. After driving along a woodland drive carpeted with bluebells, red campion, cow parsley and so much more, we found the property set in a secluded corner of the 14 acre estate (which has mown paths around the field edges and pond for you to wander and explore - great for a dog walk in the evening after a day out). It was beautifully warm, clean and comfortable. It suited us and our dog perfectly. The whole area is criss-crossed with ancient public footpaths which lead to little villages and coast paths. There is a lovely track which starts just down the hill (to the right) from the property which will take you to Mullion village (c 1 mile). It was the perfect property for our break and without doubt we would go again. (PS. Perhaps if the author of the rotten review had researched he would have found fewer 'surprises' and maybe consider his manners and address petty issues direct with the host) "

  We’ve just spent 4 weeks at Bert’s Barn and loved every minute.

  The property is perfect, huge lounge with lots of character including vaulted ceiling and a log burning stove. 3 cosy bedrooms, kitchen with all you need and 2 bathrooms, one with a roll top bath. The location was perfect, with Pollurian beach only a 4-5 minute walk, the village centre with pubs, shops and a chippy maybe only 3 minutes walk and then you have access to lots of other great places only a short drive away. The hosts Jim and Rachel are great, very friendly, full of local knowledge and very helpful. We really felt at home staying at Bert’s Barn and we would have happily stayed on another month or even two if we could. I think these cottages are pretty new to Sykes and I’d imagine will get booked up for next season very soon. There are 2 other cottages in the same courtyard so if you’re a multi family wanting to stay together but not in the same house, this place would be ideal. We would love to go back again sometime soon. Ash and Sarah.
