The house is perfect for a family of 4 with young children. Fiona was brilliant at communicating with us and sorted out a slight issue we had on arrival promptly. Barry The maintenance man is also brilliant & went over & above. The house is in a fabulous location just minutes downhill from Harlyn beach and great walks around Trevose head from the door to Mother Ivy's Bay, Booby's Bay g Constantine Bay en route. We had an excellent meal at Rick Stein's pub the Cornish Arms (normal pub prices). There is lots to do in the area, Padstow is nearby and Newquay in the other direction. Highly recommend Tynk.

Very well equipped and lovely comfortable king size bed. Only a short walk to the beach, where thereâs a cafe thatâs open all year round. The owner contacted us to make sure all was ok. Welcome pack was a nice touch. We will be back

We really appreciated the hamper on arrival and the lovely thought of the dog treats. The house was clean and tidy and really cosy. Thank you. We would definitely use Skyes again.
