  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.

  I believe the write-up failed my expectations.

  It was minimal and didn't give a true picture. If the detail had been accurate, it would have met my expectations. The cottage was basic and tired looking, although very clean. The sofas and bed were quite hard and old. The towels were old although clean. There were no sharp knives which hindered catering and could have been put in the description so that I could have taken some to use. The shower's pressure was minimal. There were no curtains or blinds on the rear windows (only nets) and didn't feel private when people were walking up and down for many hours on the path behind. It would be impossible to have a private shower in the evening with no curtains and the light on. The internet went down half way through which meant that I vacated the cottage earlier than the checkout day because BT weren't going to find the fault for 2 days and I had online work commitments. Plus points - the cottage was quiet, there was ample parking, nearby beauty spot of Bossiney Cove, the host was polite.

  Good location to Tintagel itself.

  Walking time 10 to 15 minutes to shops/ pubs/castle. Garden apartment in a very quiet area with off road free parking. The apartment itself was a good base. Warm with a wood burner and some wood provided, central heating good(we visited in October so wet and cold outside) Bed soft (husband did have an aching back at times) and unusually low. Bathroom lovely with over the shower bath with good hot water. The only criticism was a blind/curtains needed at the window/door in the bathroom instead of a net curtain. I did feel a little exposed so had to stand bags on the chest of draws in front of the window. Also a blind in the kitchen rather than nets for same reason, we were there in winter so darker nights, lights on! Otherwise a pretty, functional apartment. Good price, good area. Easy access to local amenities. Good walking, lots of lovely(steep) coves. Bossiney cove a gem..

  The garden apartment was situated right beside the south west coast path.

  I only drove my car once in a week. Easy walk to Tintagel village, beautiful tea rooms 3 mins from apartment. St Nectans glen was just 3 /4 min drive . Perfect place for walking. Peaceful, quiet area in bossiney. Very friendly people. Absolutely wonderful apartment, everything you would need. Lovely patio garden for my dog. Tons of wood for wood burner. Everything was done to perfection. Make sure you get all your food as Bude was the nearest supermarket. We took a couple of extra towels to put on bathroom window and kitchen window for night time , as there is a passage way behind the apartment. Do not let that put you off, it was everything it said, beautiful and peaceful. Plenty of parking and amazing views. Definitely going to book again. The owners thought of everything. Amazing holiday. Thank you so much
