Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Lovely property and outlook - very well equipped and comfortable - re-booked for next year !"
- only niggle - side gate doesn’t shut very well and duvets need updating. We had a really great time and enjoyed our holiday.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay and would love to welcome you back anytime in the future. All suggestions/comments can be viewed by the property owner so these are appreciated. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

"The property was bright,clean and overall very good,it was situated in a convenient place for walks to the beach and places of interest,the sea view was a bonus."
The smoke alarm needed a new battery and continued to beep which was irritating, we felt that the beds could have done with a bit of airing and felt slightly damp also the under sheets were dried with wrinkles in them and made it uncomfortable to sleep on. The duvet in the main room needs to be replaced as it is spreading and the bathroom door at the end of the passage could do with a clean to remove the finger marks.
More information from Sykes on the location of the bungalow would be useful as the sat nav sends you down a track which is full of crater size pot holes,there is a much easier entrance to the bungalow,also information on places of interest would be useful and local places to eat and shop,we found Flow's Kitchen at the end of our stay.

"The house is fabulous with great outdoor space and location."
There are a few things that could make a stay at Trebartha great and need to be looked at. The beds are terrible, they are very uncomfortable, the headboards are poorly fitted on beds that have them but some beds do not have one at all. All of us including the children struggled with the matresses. The advertised bbq meant that we planned to have a bbq one night, it was gas but the gas bottle had about 4 minutes worth of gas which meant cooking all the food in the grill to avoid waste. We notified Sykes of the issue they said they would get it sorted out but never did. A fabulous place to stay overall but some changes need to be made.
Thank you very much for your comments and for taking the time to let us know your thoughts. We are pleased you think the house, outdoor space and location is fabulous. Customer feedback is very important to help us continually improve our standards. The Property Owner and Quality Assurance Team will receive your feedback in order for them to act upon any areas you have highlighted. Best wishes - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.

"We all love Trebartha and have stayed at this property many times with all the family and will I hope continue to do so for many years to come."
It works very well for us and our two dogs and have had lovely holidays. The new hot water system works well with plenty of hot water all the time. Thank you.
Just two points to raise is that with the new water system the toilet in the Utility room makes quite a noise when refilling after a flush (a water pressure noise) and the washing machine could not fit under the work top so was stuck out in the way, Otherwise apart from the weather a great holiday in Daymer at the lovely Trebartha. We will be back!!
Thank you for your lovely comments, we are so pleased you enjoy your stays at Trebartha and look forward to welcoming you back next time.

Owner comment: Thank you for your feedback. We have had the noise before which we thought we had fixed. We are replacing water pipes in early 2024 and will check this at the same time. We will check on the washing machine but it should have been pushed back. Look forward to seeing you back in Trebetherick/Daymer.

"The location is lovely, but that is what the property is trading off, as in terms of comfort it is damp we could not get the new air source heating to work at all, nor the old boiler which is ancient."
The bedding and bathrooms were damp because of lack of heating. The old dishwasher needs replacing as never did a clean cycle, the dishes were still dirty at the end. The dryer in the garage did not work ( poss the water needed emptying but t was impossible to remove the tray) . There were broken chairs on our arrival which were then glue back together, no doubt to break again as they were so old. The property really needs much more tlc and upgraded.
Also there is a swimming pool in next door holiday house, which would seriously impact on enjoyment and privacy.
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about these issues. Our maintenance team have been in following your stay and have rectified all of these concerns. We hope you still managed to enjoy your visit despite these issues. - John Bray Cornish Holidays on behalf of the owner.
Owner comments: Thank you for the feedback - we are suffering with pipe corrosion from soft water and it appears there was a leak shortly before your stay. We are hoping to have all pipes replaced by the start of 2024 season. We are looking at the dishwasher at the moment and checking it has sufficient water pressure as it is reasonably new. This is the first year with a new air source heating system and this should be delivering heat to all areas of the house - we will continue to monitor but the old oil system is still there as a back up and would require Sykes/John Bray to get operational. The chairs have been fixed and we are sorry they were broken on arrival - this has been fed back to the cleaning team to keep an eye on. The tumble dryer is working - the condensate draw pulls out in a straight line and needs to be tipped away into a sink.

"A wonderful holiday cottage in an amazing location The only downside was there was absolutely no guidance on things within the property - boiler, cooker, where spare light bulbs might be, local doctor, dentist etc."
The excuse given was that all folders had been removed due to Covid. However, there were several laminated sheets of paper in various locations in the cottage all telling us the same thing - what to do with bed linen and towels on departure. If these could be left then there is no excuse not to have other instructions for all visitors ready at the start of the letting season. A few temporary instructions were eventually left at the cottage but not until I had expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation. A small detail which took the edge off what was otherwise a lovely holiday.
Hi. Glad to hear you had a good stay. We are sorry that you did not have the instructions - we will review as a lot changed during covid. Thank you for the feedback.

"We had a lovely stay at Trebartha."
We love North Cornwall, particularly the Camel Estuary, which is highly recommended, especially as we bring our Spaniels on holiday. We also love to visit The Blue Tomato cafe, which is always welcoming. Bedruthan Steps is worth a visit, along with a coastal walk to Morgan Porth.
We would find an outside shower, tap useful for showering down sandy dogs. We have one at home, and helps keep the home clean .
Definitely will be returning.
We are glad you had a lovely stay at Trebartha, Trebartha has an outside tap just by the garage that drains into the drive, perfect for washing off wetsuits and sandy dogs, it also has wetsuit storage. We are glad you would happily return to Trebartha.

Where you’ll be staying
DAYMER BAY
Polzeath 1.3 miles; Rock 2.3 miles.
Daymer Bay and the village of Trebetherick were both loved by Sir John Betjeman and are unquestionably special. With a huge appeal to both the young and not so young, Daymer Bay has recently been voted one of the best beaches in the world! St. Enodoc Church, once buried in the sand, is within comfortable walking distance of Daymer Bay and is the resting place of Sir John Betjeman. Daymer Bay holds great appeal for wind surfers, kite surfers and paddle boarders, with the gentle waves rolling up the estuary. There is enormous fun too for small children with buckets and spades and fishing in the rock pools. At low tide you can walk across the sand to the village of Rock to indulge in a spot of retail therapy or a bite to eat at one of the many delicious eateries, or catch the short ferry ride and explore the delights of Padstow. Up from the coast path as it runs from Daymer Bay is Highcliffe, nestling between Polzeath and Trebetherick, both of which boast a number of pubs, restaurants and village stores all offering a wide variety of fresh quality produce. The properties at Highcliffe have the advantage of being within easy reach of Daymer, Polzeath and Greenaway - Greenaway being the name given to the clifftop area, beach and small cove with rock pools overlooking the Atlantic beyond that lies between Daymer and Polzeath.
