We had a wonderful stay in Pretoria.. The cottage is in the perfect position in the village. Short walk to beach, shop and cafe. The cottage is extremely comfortable and homely. Sitting in the upstairs lounge looking out at the view is priceless. We will certainly return one day.

A beautiful cottage in a equally beautiful location.. Pretoria is clean, spacious and very comfortable with all that's needed for an enjoyable vacation. Only downside was the entrance to the kitchen - if you're over 5'6" - watch your head!

A beautiful house in pristine condition in a fantastic location.. It even had sharp kitchen knives which is a first in my experience of holiday rentals!

This was our second visit to Pretoria in Coverack.. A beautiful property to stay in with stunning sea views, a real home from home. Coastal walks from the door and a minutes walk from the front door to the beach , great for our 4 year old. Many nice places to eat. We got take out food from the Paris Hotel and ate at The Old Life Boat house which has great sea views plus the little cafe near the harbour serves excellent food and ice cream! Only a short drive away are many beautiful places to visit. We have had another brilliant holiday, just perfect.

Just a couple of minor niggles 1: Directions to property,when in Coverack,are a little vague as Chymbloth Way as listed for dropping off is not marked near the property,we asked in the shops for directions.. It is in fact on the right as one goes up the footpath marked with a sign. 2: The sink in the toilet would not hold water. 3: The shower riser is loose. 4: The garden was not pet( dog) friendly,as we had local dogs getting in through the hedge.I understand that next year dogs will not be allowed so this would not be a problem then. The property would also benefit, I would say, from having a hand rail for the stairs, and maybe a reminder above the kitchen door to mind ones head. On the plus side the property was very comfortable,well appointed and with amazing views of the bay. We were greeted with lovely cream tea supplies when we entered,very kind and also delicious! All in all we had a great time. Great walking from the front door!

We wait all year for our holidays, don't we ? Work hard, and look forward to being able to ' get away ' at last, for a well earned rest ! So, Sykes was the ' go to ' company for all our 'holiday cottage needs ' . The cottage that we rented from Sykes had everything that we could need. On entering we were greeted by a vase of fresh flowers, and a lovely cake dome containing freshly bakes scones, with clotted cream and strawberry jam waiting for us in the fridge. But it also provided fluffy white towels, beds supplied with crisp cotton bedlinen, and top quality duvets. The kitchen had essentials such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, tea towels and so on. We loved the tv with dvd, Netflix etc.. and the bookshelves filled with novels and local flora and fauna information. Maps, and books on the history of Cornwall. But, icing on the cake ! Half way through our fortnights' holiday the changeover team came with fresh linen and towels for us ! Cleaned, and left everything ' sorted '. Such comfort ! But really, we had help on hand too; When the boiler accidentally went out, a kind ' fixer ' immediately turned up and restored our hot water for us. Most reassuring. We cant wait to go again ! Thank you Sykes, we look forward to many happy years renting lovely holiday cottages from you. Kitty Lambah

The cottage was in a stunning location with fantastic views.. It was very comfortable and well equipped. Would recommend if you need to escape for some peace and quiet out of season.

A beautiful cottage providing everything we needed and more to enjoy our holiday.. On arrival we found scones with cream and jam to enjoy, just what we needed after our long journey. The information the owners had provided with regard to staying at Pretoria and what Coverack and the surrounding areas has to offer was really useful. The views from Pretoria are stunning. Coverack turned out to be a perfect location, offering coastal walks from the door, a beautiful beach, which with our 3 year old son we spent hours on collecting sea shell's and climbing on the rocks. We enjoyed snacks from the little cafe near the harbour and Fish and chips from the Old Life boat house. I couldn't resist making a few purchases from the village shops. I really don't think anything I could write could justify the beauty of Coverack and comfort of Pretoria.

The cottage was comfortable and cosy and really well equipped.. Lots of time spent relaxing in the upstairs living room with its amazing sea views. Lovely to be back in Coverack. Would definitely book Pretoria again.

Super cottage in an outstanding location.. Thoughtful owners had provided everything we needed, even up to such lovely details as a cream tea awaiting us and a bunch of flowers on the table! The pictures do not do it justice.

The property was lovely and the views were exceptional.. Only problem was the parking which we had been warned about but we didn't realise the hill to the property was so steep.

A very comfortable cottage which was close to the beach. A very friendly village with good restaurants, and an excellent location for exploring many parts of Cornwall.
Mrs Stokes

Pretoria was one of the nicest cottages we have ever stayed in. Everything was of a high standard, very clean, comfortable and amazing views from the upstairs frontroom. Coverack is a great village and the cottage was in a great location; just a stones throw from the sandy beach. Great weather also helped! Highly recommend!
Mrs Lawton

The cottage was perfect with great comfort and views; we would all visit it again.
