• "We loved staying at Heatherdale."

  Beautifully clean and it smelt amazing too. Really comfortable and welcoming. Thank you. The only thing was the extractor fan in the bathroom didn't seem to work, and it would be useful to have a stick blender (unless I couldn't find one). Otherwise everything was amazing and we hope to stay again one day. Thank you.

  Thank you for your review and positive comments- so glad you enjoyed the house. We will look into getting a stick blender and try and resolve the extractor fan issue; we usually just open the window, which helps. Hope you do come back. Thanks again. Property Owner

• "The lock on the kitchen door seemed very stiff and probably needed oiling."

  Also the "front" door seemed to be sticking due to damp and wood swelling I would guess? Apart from that the cottage was as good as any I have stayed in in the UK, thank you.

• "We had a brilliant stay here."

  A lovely house that was warm cosy and had everything we needed we plan to visit again in the future! We briefly met the housekeeper who had sent us a very welcoming message on the day of our arrival and who clearly does an amazing job of looking after the house.

• "We enjoyed our stay at Heatherdale, Treknow."

  The Victorian house and it's location exceeded our expectations. We know the area and particularly liked the walk up to the coastal path overlooking Trebarwith Bay, then round robin back to the cottage via Gull Rock House. There are good views from the front windows over pasture fields towards The Strand and The Rumps in the distance. The Rear Garden was secure for our hound dog Bertie but the front garden was for the most part unusable due to the road and no front gate. Within, the house was well equipped, the beds were comfortable and we can see the owners investment and care in creating a holiday feel. Through a big storm we felt protected and when the sun shone we were booting up for another walk or a trip to the tidal beach, setting up our days according to the low tides. There are some maintenance issues. The bathroom sink and hob are cracked, the shower head bracket would not hold it's angle in place so showering is easier hand-held within the bath. The rear patio furniture could do with an update and the middle gate latch needs attention as it blew open a few times. Minor points though not detracting from our enyoyable break... we were sad to leave and would book again.

  Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed the house. We will endeavour to check out those issues and put right where we can. Property Owner

  It had everything we needed and more besides. The children really enjoyed the array of books and DVDs. In addition to this it was well located with beautiful views and within walking distance of the beach.

  The location is stunning, with views of the coast and only a short walk or drive from the beach at Trebarwith Strand. The cottage was beautiful and extremely well furnished. We had a fantastic week and would happily stay again.

  .perfect We had a super week at Heatherdale Lovely clean and sweet smelling property and pretty, well maintained gardens Sat in the back garden under the lovely fig tree surrounded by bluebells after a morning out exploring and then watched the sun go down on the hot front patio Two big bay windows that showed off the beautiful view (Didn’t want to close the curtains) It was just unfortunate on the last afternoon that the plumber had trouble fixing a problem and ended up spending more time at the property than was expected

• "This was a well equipt cottage but it was a bit grubby and in desperate need of a coat of paint and a good clean."

  The stairs were very steep and narrow and the front steps were slippery and needed a banister or rail to hold on too.the house was in general was quite comfy.

  Thank you for your feedback. This is an old, character cottage which we strive to keep maintained and decorated to a high standard. Our housekeeper works hard to keep the house clean. The house description does mention how steep the stairs and garden are. We will endeavour to address your issues. Property Owner

• "We have stayed in Treknow many times but this was our first stay in Heatherdale."

  Location is perfect - stunning views and a quick walk to the coast path. The house is really comfy and well-equipped, especially the kitchen. Best dog-friendly place we've stayed, with a large and properly enclosed back garden. Having a tumble drier was a luxury which was very helpful when it was too wet to dry outside, and the outhouse was so handy for storing beach stuff and wetsuits. It really felt like a home away from home, and on the odd rainy day we were content to light the log burner and play games by the fire, watching the fog roll in from the sea. Thank you.

• "Lovely stay at Heatherdale, amazing views and the parking pace is really useful."

  The Out-house is really useful for hanging wetsuits, just would benefit from a little TLC. But didn't distract from a great holiday.

  Thanks so much. We are actually having the outhouse refurbished in September! Property Owner

  Amazing location to explore the coast and great walks from the door and quickly on the coast path. Immaculately clean, very comfortable and everything you could need. Great places to eat nearby or to sit outside and enjoy the sun traps (we had great weather) at the front and rear of the property. We wish we'd booked two weeks!

• "Yes. The cottage is lovely although the bathroom could do with an upgrade."

  The shower and bath are pretty worn. The cleanliness and welcome touches were good as always. We do have an issue with Sykes however. This is the 3rd year we've booked with Sykes, for the same cottage - but have not been given a loyalty discount in years 2 and 3. Most holiday companies offer discounts to loyal customers. Disappointing that Sykes have not provided the same.

  Remember to check the out house as we bought body boards before we realised they had plenty in there that you could borrow. The location was amazing and a short walk to the beach which had an amazing sunset which was perfect, It also is a walk to King Arthur’s castle too along the cliff and the view we fantastic we even had the luck to see sea lions/ diploma . The beds were extremely comfortable… the view from the property was fabulous. We will definitely return to this amazing location, fabulous area and quaint property.

  Being able to walk to the beach and being so close to the coastal path was a plus. The bedrooms were really comfortable and everyone slept well after the days activities.

  It was cosy, tastefully furnished and generously equipped with everything we needed from books to crockery to beautifully scented soap and diffusers. We definitively felt like guests in a proper home rather than customers in a sterile rental and the stunning view from the sitting room window made staying in almost as pleasurable as our long walks along the coast.

  The beach nearby welcomed dogs throughout the year but depending on the tides can be quite small and can get crowded but the beaches at Bude and Widemouth Bay are not too far away. All in all we really enjoyed our stay at Heatherdale.

  It is superbly situated with lovely countryside views towards the sea and is only a short walk to Trebarwith Strand beach.

• "The holiday home was absolutely wonderful, it was like a home from home and we would love to stay there again."

  Fantastic location and so well equipped! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! The garden was enclosed which was great for our dog and children when we weren’t exploring the area. It’s a house with so much personality, they have books, games as well as body boards, buckets and spades. The kitchen has everything you could need too! It was exceptionally clean. It’s the best holiday home we’ve every stayed in! The 15-20 minute walk down to Trebarwith Strand through a field and a little wooded area is delightful, there is a pub, also very nice, and a shop selling beach bits and bobs including very good ice cream. We would highly recommend a walk to Tintagel along the South West Coast Path from Trebarwith Strand, it’s about 2.4 miles and a little hilly but the views are outstanding. We can’t wait to come back!

Their attention to detail was second to none,From books to read, DVDs, jigsaws, games, washing facilities and even a torch to go exploring and binoculars to see the wonderful view ! We were welcomed into a cosy warm home with all the information we needed provided in a well organised folder. Even a box with leaflets on places to visit. Their visitors book was full of warmth and praise from previous happy holidaymakers and of course us !!!
