Grandpa Dickinson is a great location for nearby Padstow. Plenty of lovely walks from the property and amazing beaches nearby. The Old Mill nearby is an amazing restaurant. Accommodation is a bright, open space - beautiful balcony (sun trap) to chill and relax on. Facilities at the property are spot on and we had everything we needed - a home from home - will definitely return

Lovely cottage with a relaxed feel to it in a wonderful location for exploring this part of Cornwall.. It was lovely to receive a phone call on our first evening from the owners to check that everything was OK - nice touch. Tea/coffee/milk/biscuits on arrival was great and needed after the long drive. I would definitely recommend this cottage to anyone and we certainly hope to return in the future.

A wonderful holiday home in a quiet location. It's stylish with lovely art work dotted around . There are books to read , DVDs to watch and even paints,bushes and paper if you get inspired . A well.equpped kitchen with dish washer and washing machine . Ample parking . A dog friendly garden meant they could run around. Fascinating to watch all the different little birds coming to the feeder on the decking We decided to take the Saints trail into Padstow , not a walk for the feinthearted , it dips and climbs and also crosses the river by a really narrow bridge , not very enjoyable. I would recommend this as a good place to explore Cornwall . Our favourite visit was to the Minack Theatre and the fantastic beach next to it .

It was a lovely cottage which was very comfortable to come back to after days of exploring.. The little things really made a difference like milk already in the fridge for us for when we arrived and some lovely biscuits on the side to welcome us :) blankets on hand for those cosy nights snuggling in on the sofa. Even having a washing machine there was a god send ! Very happy with our stay thank you :)

First time using Sykes so I don’t know if the standard is the same for all cottages but Grandpa Dickson was seriously well equipped.. Didn’t have to use any of the things I’d taken ‘just in case’

Really nice location which was great for getting to all attractions.. Place was well equipped and had everything we needed. Our one complaint was that it was not the cleanest in places, there was collections of dust under the beds and dining tables which wasn't great considering the rental charge

The property is fantastic, however in the write up it states’’ hop,skip and a jump from the saints way, camel trail etc’’ what it doesn’t mention is that you need to navigate a very busy, narrow road with no pavement to reach it? I wouldn’t advise walking down there with dogs or children and feel this should be highlighted in the details. Also some general maintenance on the decking is required as some of the wood is rotting particularly near the gate. *************************************************************************************************************** Owner response : I have been in touch with Sykes and I have amended the description of our property due to your feedback. I am glad you thought the property was fantastic.

What a beautiful, stylish home. We’ve had a fabulous week. The owners have thought of every convenience and their styling reflects their artistic backgrounds - it’s really lovely. Dog friendly and situated close to many of cornwall’s best beeches - perfect

Grandpa Dickson's 976316 was an excellent base for our 1 week holiday in Cornwall, Little Petherick is a lovely little village and is only a short distance to Padstow Harbour.. The accommodation was excellent and very comfortable, with lovely rural views to the rear from a large decking area with seating, ideal for that relaxing drink in the evening. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend Grandpa Dickson's for your Holiday Stay. Terry Harris

Grandpa Dicksons, what a find. We had a great week staying here, super quiet and very secluded. Looks good from the outside, well wait until you see the interior, so nicely decorated throughout. Warm and welcoming surroundings, a lovely open plan kitchen and lounge area, perfect for sociable cooking. Every last little detail at Grandpa Dicksons has been taken care of. For us it was great as being dog friendly we were able to bring out Lab and Dalmatian. We spent our days walking many of the routes in a welcome folder. If you like cooking the owners have every pot, pan, utensil and piece of crockery you could ever need. A fantastic, well loved and looked after cottage, thank you for letting us stay.
