Speedwell cottage is a lovely airy cottage and much improved by the addition of en suite bathroom.. It is in a brilliant position close to the harbour and all restaurants and good access to coastal walks. Also provides parking which is a bonus. The housekeeper Andy was very friendly and sent me informative texts telling me the cottage was ready earlier than expected. I would definitely go again - this was our second visit.

The cottage was lovely and the location was very convenient for the habour and restaurants.. I believe access would be a challenge for people with mobility issues, as there are stairs and a slippy floor in the downstairs hall. This needs a different surface. The equipment levels are good, however there are some niggling issues with the tiolet banging when flushed and the cooker fan that did not work. Really enjoyed my stay at this cottage and would use cornish cottage holidays again without a doubt

Excellent week.. The crockery and glassware could do with a close inspection. There are a lot of chipped and cracked pieces. The tin opener had gone walk about but Andy replaced it within half an hour. Great location. Loved the wek

We had the most enjoyable time at Speedwell, the house was very comfortable we couldn’t ask for more and a big thank you to Andy the caretaker he went the extra mile to look after us.. Please pass my thanks onto him, an absolute star.

Really lovely cottage in a fantastic location.. Easy parking outside. Cottage so clean and tidy. Lovely bathrooms. Kitchen so well equipped: Really loved our time in Charlestown we were really lucky with the weather, the back garden is a little sun trap so some loungers would have been nice. There was a great washing machine but no washing line which was odd. There is a tumble dryer but not everything is suitable for a dryer. Overall wonderful and we wouldn’t hesitate to return.

Speedwell is a fab cottage in a fab location.. Andy the housekeeper was very freindy and keeps the place in great shape. Parking outside the cottage is essential in Charlestown as otherwise you would pay a fortune. Only a short stroll to the harbour with a couple of pubs/bars/restaurants which is all you need locally and plenty of choice only short distances away. We spend most of our time on Porthpean beach which our 6yr old loved but again you are spoiled for choice if we wanted to stop around. Also plenty of rainy day options so we'll definitely be returning.

Great location and everything as advertised.. Was impressed how quickly a small problem was resolved with the bed. Have already booked again for 2019 at the same place.

A lovely cottage in a great location.. On the minus side no hairdryer and my partner found the latex mattress on the king size bed uncomfortable. It was fine for me! Otherwise we enjoyed our stay and found it very relaxing. We would go back to that cottage.

The location was superb, could not have been any closer to local facilities & attractions.. The cottage was kept immaculately, & the cleanliness & functionality of all appliances & general décor was 100%. A very relaxing cottage to stay in for a week, well-situated to use as a base for exploring other areas of Cornwall, & we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday. Thank you Sykes, Highly Recommended!

Speedwell is a great holiday cottage.. It's clean, comfortable and really homely. Charlestown is a great base for a holiday in Cornwall with great local pubs, coffee shops and restaurants and lovely beaches and walks from the harbour. We will definitely be back.

Great cottage in a lovely location.. Beautifully clean with barely used appliances/ utensils etc. The cottage doesnt have a dishwasher as stated in the listing though.

This cottage is fabulous! It is warm and clean and has everything you can think of that you might need. The new ensuite is lovely. It is a real home from home. The welcome basket was a great treat, thank you! It has its own parking space and it is just a couple of minutes to the beach and restaurants. We all really enjoyed our stay here and have booked again for next year. Definitely worth a stay.
