  Just returned from a week at Pound Rocks.

  What a super place to stay, just around the corner from the main street but quiet and private. Spacious and a great mix of traditional and modern. Modern where it is really appreciated (Kitchen and bathroom) with traditional features such as the hallway tiles and doorknobs adding character and charm. Very well equipped, with everything you would need to cook and clear up with too. We ate out quite a lot but it was nice to know everything was there if we wanted to cook. Also do read the information book, the instructions for every appliance are there, along with quite a few guides to local attractions. The water in the shower was hot, could have done with being just a little cooler but couldn't work out how to achieve that but great to have the option of a very deep bath or a shower. The garden is charming and is bigger than the photo's suggest, the rear garden is completely escape proof so the dog can have a run around while you stay dry in the conservatory. Sadly the weather was a little cool to get the most out of the conservatory but I would imagine it's great in warmer months. The only thing we had difficulty with was the sofa. Stylish and comfortable but a little low. The first time I sat on it I sank into the comfort but was like an overturned beetle getting back up - my husband rescued me otherwise I might still have been there. The beds are very comfortable and good quality bed linen and towels are included. A few thoughtful extra's were found and enjoyed. I wouldn't hesitate to return to Pound Rocks and would strongly recommend this accommodation to all.

  We have just returned from a 2 week holiday staying at Pound Rocks.

  Our positive feedback is: Ideally situated to walk into the village with its many shops and places to eat. The bungalow was very comfortable, spacious and had all the home comforts. The bathroom is stunning and has a wonderful shower, a lovely bath and there was always plenty of hot water. Our negative feedback is: We unfortunately had an issue with the garden. We overlooked the unkept lawn which had not been mowed for some time and it did not affect being able to sit out in the garden. On the first Monday we were there, our 6 month old mischievous retriever managed to escape from the garden. We went into total panic, called her a few times, no response, so we started to walk to the area at the back of the bungalow. Luckily we received a phone call from a lovely gentleman who had found our dog sat in his porch! We had a look at where she had escaped and even though the gap is behind shrubs, there is a large area where dogs or toddlers could get out. As any parent or loving pet owner knows, you only have to turn your back for a second and they are gone! I am sure that in time the fence will be repaired, but unfortunately for us, we were constantly chasing to get it repaired, were told a few times that someone was coming to repair it but it never happened. We are very disappointed that this was not taken more seriously, but have been told by Sykes Cottages that the owner is aware of the situation and it will be rectified for future guests.

  Car parking was supposed to have been provided.

  It turned out that the "allocated space" was over 200 yards from the apartment and it was VERY tight (with a ford fiesta), plus you had to manoeuvre into it from the main road through Boscastle with one side being a blind bend. My husband is very good at parking but having knocked his wing mirror twice, he gave up using the space and used the public car park, which was chargeable from 10 am to 5 pm. To unload our car when we arrived, we were told we could use the double yellows outside the property, but this was taken with another vehicle so we were not able to do so. There was supposed to have been a garden - there wasn't. There was a small courtyard with planters at the front of the property, but this was for access to the whole building. The gate from this courtyard was straight out onto a main road,without pavement, so it was not safe for our daughter. The lounge from the property is partly below the level of the road, so you feel that you are in a basement. Immediately outside the window there was a cafe, so you felt that you needed to have the blind down the whole time to have some privacy. Both bedrooms overlooked the main road so we felt that we had no privacy and had to keep the blinds drawn.

  We had a lovely break in Chi Prenn Byhan.

  The Lodge was very clean, spacious and felt like home for the week I really like how it was decorated with all the cornish homeware and had all the facilities we needed during our stay. The hot tub was the highlight of our stay, it was kept clean and maintained by the staff on site. The views were amazing although very windy (but that was the time of year we went, February) I could imagine this in the summer season being beautiful We had a lovely walk into tintagel where we enjoyed a pub lunch. The only criticism I have is the knifes can do with updating or sharpening (which i tried) and the sofa wasn't very comfy. This doesn't mean we wouldn't book again because we would 100% book again (even looked at some dates of availability) and I can highly recommend this lodge to anyone else looking at booking. You wont be disappointed Thank you to the owners and to the site who keeps it looking spotless Until next time, thank you

  Property was lovely and clean.

  Plenty of facilities available, which made it very accommodating. Absolutely stunning view and the quietness was ideal. The only downfall is that the hot tub had not been prepared prior to our arrival (meaning it was not ready for use upon arrival) when the hot tub was then filled, there was a fault, unfortunately due to the fault, an engineer could not attend until the next morning, we then had to wait the day for the hot tub to heat up. This meant that we unfortunately lost an evening and day of the hot tub use (which was one of the main reasons we chose this specific accommodation). Whilst the situation was dealt with as quickly as possible, it did feel in that respect we did not get our full monies worth. We would return, however I would contact prior to make them aware of our upcoming arrival to ensure all facilities are ready for use.
