Area
Porth is a small seaside village on the outskirts of Newquay.

Watergate Bay, with its rolling waves, surf schools, cafe and pubs, is a short walk away, and the popular resort of Newquay with its beaches, watersports, pubs, restaurants, zoo and aquarium is well worth a visit. Fistral Beach and surf centre are three miles west of Porth, whilst the surf training school at Lusty Glaze Beach is actually within the village. The charming fishing village of Padstow, along with Bodmin Moor, the city of Truro, Falmouth and the world-famous Eden Project are all within easy reach, making Porth an ideal base for a Cornish getaway.

Absolutely stunning position, waking up to those views was delightful.. Cottage was great, equipped with everything we needed, very comfortable. Only negative was a bad smell coming from bathroom. Would definitely recommend. Thankyou

The Beach House is perfectly located on the cliff above Porth and steps lead down to the beach.. The views are wonderful. The house is well equipped and far enough from the centre of Newquay to be quiet and peaceful. Sadly, Lusty Glaze beach was closed due to the Covid situation but that did not spoil our enjoyment. The only downsides are that the bathrooms have a stale smell but everything worked well. It should be noted that the Glendurgal hotel is closed for redevelopment.

Great location and amazing views.. We were very comfortable and particularly enjoyed the outdoor space we had. There was an issue re: damp smell in the main bathroom but we managed to minimise this. Perfect for visits to Eden Project and Gardens of Heligan; both within 45 minute drive.

Dr Bradshaw, August 2020

Location was lovely.. En suite to main bedroom is very small and I could tell that a photo was not taken of this for that reason. The main bathroom had a stench coming from it and this was an on going problem as there was a de-humidifier that we had to leave on to make it habitable. The property is in need of some updating. The appliances are of poor quality as the dishwasher does not clean dishes! Nice touch to have a welcome pack, that was very much apprecaited after a long drive.

Lovely property in fabulous location .... Lovely property in fabulous location Spacious and well set up with everything we needed The details and photos possibly undersell the property as it actually has stunning sea views from most rooms which were an added bonus that exceeded our expectations The kids loved the evening visits by the rabbits on the lawn Would have been good to know beforehand that it’s not possible to park directly outside and that it’s a walk from the car park area as that was not clear when booking A further minor point was that it was a pity the photos of the kitchen showed a coffee machine but there wasn’t one in the property

Overall, the accommodation was reasonably clean and value for money.. However there are several matters that require attention: a) Directions to location very confusing. The property is in fact in the grounds of the Glendorgal Hotel, which is not made clear. b) There are three possible parking spaces, one said house no. 4, second apartment no. 4 and third Beach House no.2. Never did find out which one I should have used! c) Property, including patio furniture in particular, in need of refurbishment and tidy up.

The view was just so beautiful.. It worked well having living room upstairs. It was spacious enough for 1 adult 2 teenagers and a 6 year old. Didnt realise it was part of glendorgal hotel so couldnt find it at first tho. We all wished we could have stayed 2 weeks. Everywhere relevant to us was circa 20 minute walk which was fab as we flew so had no car. A dustpan n bridh n mop would have been useful xx

The holiday house was as beautiful as the photos.. The whole experience of booking through Sykes Cottages was so easy from paying a £20 deposit to arriving at the holiday house and being able to get the key right at the door from a key safe. I would definitely book through Sykes Cottages again!

Unclear where to park .. The heating came on at odd times (not an issue as it wasn't cold) It would have been helpful to have a book of instructions and local recommendations on where to eat and go.

Beautiful location.. Nice house. However. The house was more overlooked than made out to be. Not perticularly clean. No brush. No hover to keep floors clean from sand etc. Bathrooms very dirty. All floors under beds/chairs very dirty. Dishes had to be washed before use. It is a nice house with nice views. But a lot more effort needs to be put into cleanly ness as it lets it down. Also the outside condition of the area needs a bit of TLC.

Great location but wouldn't be great for people with disabilities ir toddlers as access to the beach would be tricky with wheelchairs/buggies etc..

Battery needs replacing in smoke detector in master bedroom.. Instructions for the television would have helped- I think there were 5 remote controls and I never did manage to see what I wanted! Car-park was quite a long way from the house, which made unpacking and repacking the car a challenge in the rain, and caused problems for our disabled son. Otherwise, thank you, we really enjoyed our stay in this house: fabulous views, comfortable beds.

Fantastic location well equipped and well maintained property with breath taking views over the beautiful Cornish coast.. Within easy reach of beaches and Newquay Town this is an excellent base for a fun packed holiday.
