Fantastic characterfull property, extremely helpful owner and all the conveniences we could ask for, including dishwasher and washing machine.. Positives: Would happily spend another week there, as it's overall a fantastic package. The kitchen and bathrooms are great and the lounge area large and roomy. Internet connectivity allowed movie streaming. Enclosed garden ideal for doggie. Off-Street parking great as the road is rather narrow. Negatives: Nothing that should prevent you from starting here. Minor quibbles are bedroom curtains allowing too much light from the nearby streetlight at night, venue needed a bit of airing out when we arrived. Main bedroom mattress was a little hard, but that's personal taste.

We had an amazing week in Cornwall.. We found Joylands cottage very comfortable and fully equipped and within easy reach of many interesting places to visit. 7min drive to the nearest beach, where we met a beautiful sunrise. Kitchen with all the utensils you need, spacious wardrobes and peaceful garden with a view of the countryside. We are very pleased that we chose this place.

Good location in a small village a few minutes drive from Falmouth.. The village itself has a small shop, pub and restaurant. The property was well equipped, comfortable and warm (winter let), with a pleasant countryside view. Decent size garden- though being winter we did not use it. Oven and shower both worked well! The property was generally clean, except for the living room carpet which looked unclean and on closer inspection we realised it was coated in black dog hair. We tried to rectify this with the provided hoover but it was totally full and the bushes were jammed. The other issue was some lights did not work, in particular an outside light would have been useful as we arrived in the dark and ended up getting muddy shoes whilst looking for the key. However, overall would recommend.

Mrs Sweeney, December 2019

This is a comfortable and clean bungalow in a small, quiet village on the outskirts of Falmouth.. We like the location and have stayed here three times over the last 4 years - always around Xmas. Having a car is not essential but highly desirable, as bus service is sparse. However, the bungalow is starting to suffer from a lack of basic attention to minor problems. Both outside lights no longer work, the cupboard doors don't shut properly, Other lights are missing bulbs - no spares, the DVD remote has given up the ghost (last 2 years) - and no, it is not the battery ! There are other minor issues, but you get the picture. It is a shame because there is nothing basically wrong that some minor attention to detail would not easily sort out. I am emailing a list of issues to owner, so hopefully he can put in place the necessary fixes.

Great bungalow, very comfortable, great location and peaceful surroundings.. Please check with Sykes if you have mobility issues. The drive is very steep. There are three steep steps down from the drive and then two steps up into the bungalow’s front door.

Joylands is a ideal holiday home and in a very good location.. The bungalow itself is very warm and comfortable and we enjoyed staying here. However there were a few negatives. Firstly this is the first holiday rental where there has been absolutely no welcome pack which is very disappointing after a 7 hour drive and looking forward to a cup of tea. The interior of the bungalow was good but the outside garden was a bit unkempt and certainly not dog proof as there was a very low wall at the bottom. Also we didn’t really appreciate the plastic bucket at the back door full of cigarette stubs. One final thing to add is that the shower over the bath needs updating. Not everyone wants a bath and the shower really was very poor with little flow. To sum up l can see that this property is a little bit neglected and has some maintenance issues, particularly outside plus the lack of a welcome pack needs to be addressed. However at the end of the day we would come back again if these issues were sorted.

This is our second visit to "Joylands", the bungalow is conveniently situated, close to Falmouth.. On arrival it was warm and cosy, and clean. We had a great week, and would recommend it as a convenient, Holiday Let.

We have stayed at Joylands several times over the past few years, the location is perfect for a stroll to Argal Lake or a steady stroll to Falmouth, both the town and beaches.. The location is ideal for visiting the far south west be it, Lands End, The Lizard or St Ives. The bungalow is reasonably furnished and has all the necessary items to make the holiday complete.

Absolutely loved Joylands so much so we've just booked again for next year! Lovely relaxed cottage, really well equiped, set in a beautiful setting only a few miles out of Falmouth and close to Swanpool beach. I will say the the drive was expectionally steep so my husband just parked on the street outside the bungalow. We had a very enjoyable holiday and we're looking forward to returning next year.

Mrs Baker

Beautiful bungalow, very well equipped.. Comfortable beds. Lovely garden. Located in small village with good pub serving good reasonable priced food. Another restaurant in the village. Also small shops & hairdressers within a few hundred yards. Would definitely recommend & would be very happy to use again if we come back to Cornwall. Bonus a bus runs through the village which takes you to Falmouth from there you can catch buses to various other places in Cornwall incluing Truro, St Austell, Redruth. (Doesn’t run on Sundays). All in all fantastic place.

Great accommodation to return to after exploring the area. Clean and tidy.Would return for another stay (when it's not fully booked)

We found the recycling and collection of rubbish difficult and complicated.. ..where does the general rubbish go? No lids, fortunately it did not rain. Apart from that we had a lovely comfortable 10 days at “Joylands” and would definitely recommend it.

The original listing showed it had 3/4 acre garden, this simply isn't true - it's a small garden about 50ft by 40ft, however, Google Satellite showed this clearly and we didn't need a large garden, but the listing HAS SINCE BEEN CHANGED from when we booked about ten days ago! Hence my rating. "A delightful bungalow in a leafy quiet road on the outskirts of Falmouth, set in 3/4 acre of enclosed garden. Two miles from Swanpool beach. Plenty to see and do in the area. Truro 12 miles." The bungalow was warm, plenty of hot water, clean and otherwise exactly as described. I couldn't find instructions for the recycling, apart from a scribbled note so this should be clearly explained. We found the m/wave instructions above the fridge after a few days - (which was a lovely large one with freezer below). Shower was excellent, plenty of towels etc. It really could do with some coat hooks in the bathroom for your clean clothes after a shower. It was a great base for touring around the foot of Cornwall with loads of walks from the property, on the whole we were very pleased and had a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Locals very friendly too.

Very good cottage close to Falmouth.. Used this as a base for visiting family nearby in Falmouth so ideal for us. We were a bit surprised to find only one teaspoon and no egg cups but having left a note when we vacated the cottage, am sure this will be rectified. Beautifully clean throughout. Think it might be good to warn people when booking that the driveway is VERY steep, in case someone has an infirmity. Luckily no problem to us

Mrs Bisset

There needs to be darker curtains in the bedrooms as it is too light in the mornings.. The seating in the living room is not to comfortable. One of the so for rooms had a double duvet on the bed which my stepson kept getting tangled in. The guttering is blocked and needs cleaning as when it rained there was a waterfall just outside the front door. There wasn't a welcome book just a notice board with scraps of paper on it. It would be helpful to have games and she's and maybe a few books in the cottage. Also a few more matching cups and glasses as it looks like a jumble sale of glasses in the cupboard. The outside lights are not working.

Mrs Aberley

The bungalow was light, bright and airy.. It was well equipped with quality fixtures and fittings. Was glad to see a washing machine but this was not listed in facilities. But the garden was nowhere near the 3/4 acre advertised!

Very few reviews for this so it deserves some positve feedback. We stayed here for a summer holiday to explore south Cornwall. Location is superb - you have the best of both worlds in that you can walk into the countryside from your doorstep, yet Asda is a 5 minute drive away. The bungalow is very well equipped with a decent kitchen - huge fridge freezer and dishwasher. The lounge diner is light and spacious and looks out over the two tier garden and hill beyond. The garden patio gets the morning sun - great for coffee first thing. It is dog friendly and there is a dog friendly pub 2 minute's walk away. 10 minute drive to the nearby spectacular gardens and the beautiful Helford river. Good value for money and highly recommended.

Joylands was very restful and relaxing, every convenience in kitchen and the lounge with quality electrical items. Wonderful to have home from home int this warm bungalow.

We had a very relaxing week at Joylands with our dog. It is a quiet village, lovely views over the fields and a convenient drive into Falmouth. The bungalow was cozy and warm with comfy beds which made a rainy January holiday quite enjoyable!

Mrs Summers

The cottage was just what we were looking for. The layout was particularly good for being sociable and the bedrooms were very comfortable and cosy. We particularly loved the views of the colourful garden and of the hills beyond.

The property is very clean and comfortable with a lovely garden with plenty of space for a dog to stretch its legs in. Ideal location for getting away from it all without being too isolated. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
