Holiday Rental Description

Holiday home
Avallon is a wonderful, spacious detached holiday home just outside Penzance on the road to Lands End, situated down its own private lane surrounded by fields, in seven acres of its own land. The property has two double bedrooms and a bunk room, as well as a family bathroom and a ground floor shower room meaning it can accommodate up to six people. There is a kitchen, a dining room and a sitting room, along with a conservatory overlooking the gardens where the children can play out in the sun. There is also ample off road parking and with so much to see and do in this area of Cornwall, Avallon makes the perfect base for a getaway exploring this stunning, unspoilt region.

The seaside harbour town of Penzance is situated in one of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas. The town offers the National Trust owned St Michael’s Mount, as well as winding streets, shops, clubs and restaurants, and there are a wealth of sandy beaches very close by. The South West coast path passes through Penzance and winds its way along the cliff tops towards Land’s End, plus the open air Minack Theatre and Gwennap Head are close by.

Region
Cornwall’s visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain’s premier holiday destinations.

It was a very peaceful location and ideal for our two dogs..

As always Avallon was brilliant, Booking with Sykes was easy.. Had a great holiday at Avallon, clean, cosy, everything you could want, perfect location to explore the south west of Cornwall.

This property was advertised with an enclosed garden front and back it doesn’t have this.. It is partially fenced and has a hedge at the rear. Lots of holes in the hedge and fence. When we book a holiday we always have to have an enclosed garden for our dogs as they are Basset Hounds. Our holiday was ruined by having to keep the dogs on leads all the time. If we had not travelled so far we would have come home. looking back at other people’s reviews I have read that another person over a year ago reported this. I think after spending a lot of money on this holiday it very unfair to advertise amenities that the property dose not have.

Such a tranquil setting for this homely cottage loves it so much that I have booked it again for next year now that speaks for itself ! !!

The cottage is a great place to take dogs as they can roam about the grounds off lead.. It is also a peaceful relaxing place to go if you want to get away from it all.

My family & I have just returned from a weeks long stay at the cottage. I will start with the negatives first. If you’re booking this cottage to take advantage of its 7 acres then you might want to reconsider. The grass (apart from a small garden around the cottage) is upto your knees & the ground is boggy & uneven. My teenage boys were disappointed that they couldn’t kick a ball around yet run around the grounds. The land is only suitable for livestock. The cottage is off an extremely busy road with no footpath so my elderly parents, who like to go out & walk, were disappointed that they had to go everywhere in the car. It’s really not safe to walk anywhere. The drive is soooo long & steep & too large wheelie bins need pulling up this in order for them to be emptied. People of a certain age/fitness level would find this an impossible task. There’s a bees nest in the roof which you are told is “not a problem”, in the welcome book. It’s not a problem if you don’t mind bees flying into the bathroom every time you open the window. The furniture on the photos has changed. There are now two large leather sofas in the lounge (which are comfortable), but then two dining areas, one in the conservatory & the other in the dining room. Being a family off 6, from teenagers to pensioners it would have been nice to have the two separate sitting spaces, rather than dining spaces. The positives. The cottage is comfortable, cosy, well equipped & very private. It’s in a good location to visit various landmarks & coastlines without having to travel too far. The flowers & biscuits on arrival were a nice touch. The WiFi is a good speed. (Very important with teenagers in tow). The showers are powerful & the water is nice & hot. There’s every pot & pan you can think off, along with glasses/cups & every other kitchen item. 3 good sized bedrooms & the bunk beds are doubles. Plenty of hanging space for clothes. If the land around the property was maintained & useable the cottage would be a real gem & I would have scored it higher. It was a real disappointment that our little dogs would have got lost in it & our boys couldn’t play out in it. If you do want to explore it my advise is to take wellies.

I you want a tranquil retreat in Cornwall surrounded by trees where the dawn chorus is amazing, bats to view at night and in the early hours, lots of fields and garden even a small river for your dogs to enjoy and you to listen to the babbling sounds, a lovely stone house, a huge conservatory with large dining table to sit it and enjoy your evening meal, beautiful lounge with perfect tv reception and comfy sofas to relax after a day of busy sightseeing, kitchen with all the equipment you need to prepare your meals, well sized bedrooms with large beds (even the bunk beds ! ) beautiful quality bed linen to get a great nights sleep, bathrooms are just right, the showers are not power ones but do you really want them when on holiday ? the house also smelt and looked fresh and clean, garden a lovely natural look with garden furniture, so sum up if you want a perfect holiday to chill, happy dogs and children, sea and beaches a short drive away, amazing fresh food this is the place for you. ! Well put it this way we had been in a day and booked again for next year !

Hello, we found the cottage warm and cosy, but had trouble with the two showers.. The shower over the bath had a feeble flow of water. The other shower downstairs was impossible to select the water that wasn't too hot to use, tried adjusting the temperature dial, but could not achieve a cool enough temperature to use. The biggest disappointment was that the garden described a ENCLOSED was not enclosed securely to allow dogs to be allowed access without supervision, it was too easy for the dogs to get into the two paddocks and then off anywhere.

Had a lovely week at Avallon, the grounds are so peaceful and spacious and the dog and children loved exploring.. The house was incredibly comfortable and relaxing, we could easily have spent all our time there, but enjoyed a few days out locally. All in all a great cottage and highly recommend it and will look to rebook for the future.

My husband and I have crazy busy lives so going to Avallon once a year keeps us sane.. The cottage is clean,warm and away from the world ( which we love ) We have 3 GSD's who love it as much as we do ... The land the cottage sits in is perfect for dogs and people alike. It is now our annual break away to recharge and reconnect Love love love this place .. ❤️ Rosie & Tony Burford ( somerset )

After a busy year we were looking forward to a relaxing Christmas break, visiting old childhood haunt's and coastal walks. Avallon certainly ticked all our boxes and our dog certainly enjoyed playing in the grounds. The decorated real Christmas tree, flowers and luxury biscuits were a lovely touch. Avallon felt like a real home from home rather than a holiday let. Cornwall is so dog friendly, we will certainly be revisiting.

Beautiful location in 7 acres of private surroundings.. Lovely property with plenty of room and well equipped. The moment you drive into the long drive and then see the cottage below you feel very special. Easy access to A30 and close to Lands end, Sennen cove, Porthcurno, Penzance and Marazion a superb coastal location. And our 3 Jack russells were well catered for with very dog friendly pubs and cafes nearby. Superb!

A charming detached cottage in a fantastic area for exploring the local areas. I do believe the grounds could be maintained better, as the "7 acres" of fields, are actually left with grass reaching your thighs! No good for hayfever sufferers. Also there are outbuildings at the back with disused items such as a car, greenhouse and various furniture which I believe could lead to a safety issue and slightly detracts the beauty of the cottage. The tiles in upstairs bathroom are loose, and there is a wall in a bedroom where the plaster has blown. I would of thought these items would of been addressed at the start of the season, but never mind. All this aside we would return as the cottage itself is delightful. The posy of flowers and chocolate cookies on arrival, was a lovely touch and we hope to return one day. Our boys 5 & 7 didn't want to leave!!! Thank you for a lovely stay x

We stayed here from 16th-23rd April. The cottage is absolutely beautiful, set in a peaceful, tranquil location. The rooms are spacious and extremely clean. The tv and wifi reception were a bit hit & miss but it never caused us a problem! The location is brilliant to access Lands End/St Ives/Penzance/Hayle, nowhere is too far away! We enjoyed the beaches at Sennan Cove & Hayle (great for dogs before 1st May). The fields which surround the cottage are fantastic for the dogs & watching any wildlife. We'll definitely be going back...the best cottage we've ever stayed in!

Stayed here 5th-12th March, very easy to find well signposted, first impressions this is a homely place and ourselves and the dogs loved it. Basically we only used one of the double rooms but there is ample space for four more people. Beds were comfy, central heating worked a treat, showers were spot on. Its a central location and we travelled around 450 miles in the week we were there. Had to play around with the wifi password its wrong in the plastic folder but correct in visitors book? If I can I will be back again. Loved it! Didn't see any deer but that's probably our fault!

We had a fantastic 10 days at Avallon in January. The house was clean, cosy and warm. It is ideally situated for exploring the end of Cornwall and the lovely beaches which were nice quiet. We loved the house and the surrounding enclosed fields, perfect for a small dog to roam securely. The house was very well equipped and had everything we needed. We hope to go back. Highly recommended.

The house itself isn't perfect but if the 7 acres of land caught your attention then GO FOR IT. You could not want for a better base to explore West Cornwall & although Penzance itself is a bit grotty it does have good shops & facilities. Almost everywhere else is gobsmackingly beautiful & it's all within 1/2hr drive. We had an adventure packed week of flying visits along the coastline with a few inland trips to explore prehistoric monuments and ruined tin mines. The highlight of our week had to be the 7 acres, our dog is still sulking that she cannot run around & roll in the grass off the lead and the grandaughter is really missing the horses. We found the secret cave ! To cap it all off we had a visit from 4x deer at dawn on Thursday.
