Amazing period house with several gorgeous views out over the sea.. Deceptive in size! Property was very well equipped (especially in the Kitchen) and clean. Only a small front garden however and a shared yard out the back - situated on a deceptively busy road and only road parking so beware. Also some issues with the boiler but they were hopefully resolved.

This is our fifth year running using Sykes cottages! Every year gets better, and the captains house was a particularly great find. Not only was the house big enough to accommodate 8 adults it also had stunning views, is in a beautiful location and had all you would need to have a fabulous week in Cornwall . Even on a dull day the views were enough to keep us enchanted ! We are already making plans to return next year...

Boiler needs attention.. Patio could do with a tidy up. But all in all a very well equipped and clean property. Pleasantly surprised when we entered the house as the row of houses looked a bit shabby but we soon found out that most of them are being refurbished.

Welcoming family home. Nice house and all that you need for a nice family break. Kept my Yorkshire busy up and down the stairs We had no problems with parking outside the house x 2 vehicles Beach is a short walk away. Places to eat in the area The Blue Plate and worth a trip to Seaton to the Wave Bar. Only negative would be the patio area needs some attention I.e weeding etc we also couldn't use barbecue as it hadn't been cleaned.

We have recently returned from a relaxing holiday at this excellent family home. Set over several floors in has everything you could want, from quirky old furniture to modern kitchen appliances. The house has great sea views. The lounge is on the third floor to make the most of the views. The down side to the house is all the stairs. It would not be suitable for people who have problems with stairs. Also there is very limited parking outside the property and the road is marrow. The town car park is only a short walk away and I would recommend that. Those are the only minor problems but I would go back another time.

Lovely comfortable house with everything you need. Great seaviews and a dog friendly beach. Places to eat within walking distance.
