Dexter

Clean, modern, comfortable. The kids loved the farm animals and it had some great facilities. We particularly enjoyed the little pub which made for some good much needed date nights. Lots to do in the local area. Would definitely stay again.

Location

Breakfast bar setting. Rather tired inside

Lovely apartment, well furnished in a very quiet location. Easy access to all areas of Cornwall.

Difficult so see out of driveway but able to creep out. No problems when it was dark as you could see head lights.

The location was great at the farm, with access to walks around the reservoir. Not too distant to Penyrn for shops.

There was no staff to meet us, not that we needed anyone as the house was open. There were many basics missing like salt, pepper, oil, foil, etc, that we had to source to prepare a meal on the bank holiday weekend. We left all that behind, so hopefully, others will not have the same issue. The quantity of cutlery and china were minimal. The welcome book promised a Cornish cream tea on arrival, but the most accomplished chef would struggle to make that out of a pint of milk and nothing else. We couldn't find the WiFi password despite the three of us looking many times. I asked online whilst out, but no reply from Sykes, despite around 25 emails between booking and staying. Way too many and mostly pointless. If a bossy rule sheet for dogs can be framed, maybe put the password in something similar. Although there are many facilities on site, some were at extra cost. It's not as if the general public will wander in, so it seems a bit excessive. Both the house and dog/barbeque field are not dog secure. The house was far too hot with no windows, only doors which, when put on the restricting straps, still let dogs through. None of these made it a bad place, just a series of annoyances that presented itself as the antithesis of what a holiday ought to be.
