“A very nice clean and tidy place to stay thank you”

- Alan, October 2024
Emma September 2024

“Willow is in a great location and very comfortable.”

Check in is very late and check out is very early. Things that need attention: Shower dribbles and not a strong enough flow. Wall Tiles in bathroom & shower dirty Tap in kitchen drips Oven trays rusty Fridge door tray broken, botched glue doesn’t hold Some crockery & cutlery dirty.

- Emma, September 2024
Dominic August 2024

“Great spot for young family and dog with secure garden all on same level.”

Private gate to cut across golf course to costal path. 15 min walk down to Swanpool beach, bit longer on way back. Would stay again if back in Falmouth.

Ellen December 2023

“My husband and I booked Willow over NewYear’s as we were visiting family nearby.”

The accommodation was perfect for our needs - we liked the views and the enclosed garden for our dog and easy access to the coastal footpath. It became apparent that the heating was not working which was somewhat alarming in light of the fact that it was New Year’s weekend and we had back to back storms. I rang the number in my email and was informed, unsurprisingly, that the office was closed but an emergency number was given. I rang and waited on hold for twenty minutes before giving up and went onto the website. It offered better options and I was able to WhatsApp our problem. Within the half hour, our problem had been referred to Scarlet of Cornish Cottages who called and put us in contact with the owner, Steve. Things moved very quickly and Steve came to the cottage and sorted out the glitch, much to our great relief. Our thanks to Scarlet and Steve for averting what could have been a cold and miserable stay and ensuring that we had a very enjoyable stay.

- Ellen, December 2023

Thank you for completing your feedback. We are delighted to hear you and your 4 legged furry friend enjoyed your visit to Willow. Following your contact regarding the heating issue, after investigation by the owner it transpired that all of the radiator thermostats had all been moved to zero. We are so pleased this was sorted quickly for you and you were able to enjoy your New Years stay. Property Owner

“This was our 3rd stay at Willow and its just the perfect home away from home.”

Best location, comfort and value for money.

- Claire, October 2023
Marzanna August 2023

“We had a lovely time but I thought we could share some feedback.”

First, the gas knobs are not very safe. You can turn them on very easily by just wiping around them, which happened to us twice. We all ended up with a headache and had to leave the property for some time. I ended up putting a plastic container over them to ensure our safety. The top draw in the dishwasher should be fixed, it keeps dropping. The bed in the main bedroom is rather small so if you are tall, you may struggle to sleep. Apart from that, it’s a nice property, very quiet and relaxing. We loved drinking coffee in the morning while sitting on the decking area listening to birds singing.

- Marzanna, August 2023
Simon August 2023

“Really enjoyed our stay.”

- Simon, August 2023
Philip July 2023

“Washing machine was not spinning or emptying water .”

Other than this minor point the cottage is fantastic and we enjoyed or stay.

- Philip, July 2023
Rhion June 2023

“We found the property and it’s setting very good and dog friendly as stated in the details.”

Our key points on recommending this property are as follows Everything is on one level including access to the garden via a decking. Idea for two of our party with reduced mobility. The property is well furnished with everything you need for a great stay. Silence, it’s the first thing that you notice when you are sat on the decking, all you do hear is the odd distant shout of “four” as the golfers lose another ball. There is easy access to a good dog walk through a gate close to the property and if you are a walker there is access to the Coastal Path directly from the gate across the golf course. The golfers are very friendly and will direct you across the course to one of two directions of the Coastal path east or west.. Overall a great place to stay a we recommend it.

- Rhion, June 2023
Helen June 2023

“We really enjoyed staying at Willow in June.”

The cottage is generally of a high standard and well-equipped throughout. The lounge was comfortable and the settee was better quality than it seemed on the pictures. The kitchen was small but did the job. The garden was great for us and the dogs, given the warm weather we had. The path up to the golf course / coastal path is helpful but it would be good to have some information included that helped with knowing where locally you could let dogs have a run off lead, safely. The only things that we would say need improving are the twin beds. The listing says to ask for it to be prepared as a zip-link double but we didn't see any way to do that and thought it would be ok - the right hand bed felt like you were sleeping on a slope towards the other bed. The other one at the window side was better, but they are pretty narrow for a adult to use - though I understand that the room itself is small too so it would be difficult to include bigger beds. This was not enough to put us off and would definitely recommend Willow as a place to stay with dogs.

- Helen, June 2023
Tracie May 2023

“Lovely well equipped barn conversion and spotlessly clean.”

Great location and easy access to attractions by foot or car. Dogs loved the garden and we loved the garden and open views.

- Tracie, May 2023
Janice May 2023

“This is our second stay at willow Peaceful lovely area and lucky we had the sun on our week”

- Janice, May 2023
Lindsay March 2023

“Booked Willow because it said garden was dog secure I wish all dog friendly places would state this if so - It was great to open kitchen door early morning for them to nip across smart decking area onto nice sized mown grass area - perfect property for singleton with a couple of pooches in tow.”

It was warm and cosy with a comfortable bath too (shower over) Great area to visit private access to costal path across nicely maintained attractive golf course with parking right by barn just perfect Trebah gardens had very good cafe / gift shop which you can access without paying entrance fee Excellent stay thank you Lindsay

- Lindsay, March 2023
Carol February 2023

“Fantastic location, lovely and quiet but within easy reach of beaches and Falmouth town.”

Beds were very comfortable and the garden was very secure. It was nice to sit out in the garden knowing the dogs couldn't escape.

- Carol, February 2023
Christine October 2022

“Very convenient to several beaches.”

Safe area for my dog as garden enclosed. Cottage was clean and had all that we needed for our comfort . Enjoyed our stay at Willow cottage . Thank you Chris & Brian

- Christine, October 2022
Karen September 2022

“Within the general description, it would not harm to mention that the beach, less than 1 mile, is not accessible for people with walking difficulties.”

Although on first impression the property looked neat enough, there was an unpleasant smell upon entry. The location was lovely, with the view from the rear garden and it was very central for exploring the area. The Garden was well furnished, with a BBQ, rotary line and ample seating. It was also enclosed and overlooked the golf course. The inside, there were cobwebs in every room and it was evident that the furniture had not been pulled out and cleaned behind for sometime, which we did. The mastic around the bath had all peeled away and the walls all needed a coat of paint. There was a lack of the kitchen essentials i.e. kitchen roll, cling film or foil. We do appreciate that it was the end of season but these things made quite a negative impact on our stay.

- Karen, September 2022
Nicole August 2022

“What can I say?”

Willow is stunning! Has everything you need! Great location for walks especially with the doggy! The beds were so comfy! More comfy then my own at home! Our children throughly enjoyed their week here and the property was well equipped. So clean and well fixed together. Thank you so so much we have loved every second of it!

- Nicole, August 2022
Judith July 2022

“Loved our stay at Willow Barn comfortable, clean, great facilities, tucked away, nice and private.”

The garden was very private and has wonderful views over looking the golf course. It was ideal for the dog too. Love Falmouth so will definitely be back! Thank you.

- Judith, July 2022
Teresa June 2022

“This was our second visit and it didn't disappoint.”

It's comfortable, well located and extremely dog friendly. The cottage has everything you need and a lovely garden with relaxing views over the golf course. We will be back again.

- Teresa, June 2022
Janice April 2022

“Enjoyed our stay at willow very peaceful Everything was there Nice location ...”

Enjoyed our stay at willow very peaceful Everything was there Nice location Would definitely stay again For us was first time in renting a place we normally do our caravan, was good that we could bring the dogs , Cornwall very dog friendly Can recommend willow and we will go back

- Janice, April 2022
Mark April 2022

“Property was superb!”

Would definitely stay here again and will most likely do so if our daughter ends up going to Falmouth Uni which was one of the purposes of the trip. Property was in a super location, looking out onto fields and the back garden not overlooked by any other property. Very peaceful location. Able to park the car right outside, and the path way out of the location, across the golf course and to the coast line was an ideal situation for us being we had a dog with us - I covered some 49 miles of walking during our 7 day stay and most of it was along the coastline or on the beaches. The property itself was just right for the 3 'humans' staying. Two good bedrooms, one bathroom, one lounge area and a kitchen. None of the rooms are particularly spacious but they weren't too small either. The condition of the property was excellent, was a little nervous having our dog there as even though he is very well behaved, we were a little nervous of claws making marks but it seemed to be okay. Also the rear garden had a lovely condition lawn so we hoped the dog wee's wouldn't damage it. We did water where the dog went but in most cases, we took him out for walks. But the fact the property allows dogs means we wouldn't have been staying there otherwise. Kitchen was well stocked, only very minor niggle was that there were just 2 tall glasses which if there were 3 or 4 staying, there wasn't enough. All in all, a very enjoyable stay and we'd defintitely look to stay there again if back in Falmouth.

- Mark, April 2022
Scott April 2022

“Everything you could need for a comfortable stay.”

Would recommend Willow Cottage

- Scott, April 2022
Claire October 2021

“Willow cottage was in such a great location.”

Close to everything but felt like you were miles away in the peace and quiet. Lovely safe garden for our dog and great walktk Falmouth, more uphill on the way back but it's worth it!

- Claire, October 2021
Debbie September 2021

“Willow is a lovely comfortable accommodation, very spacious with lovely little garden, very quiet and relaxing place ideal for the perfect getaway.”

- Debbie, September 2021
Nicola September 2021

“Lovely little cottage which made a good base for visiting Cornwall.”

Had everything we needed and was secure for the our dog. Would definitely return.

- Nicola, September 2021
Marian September 2021

“The cottage was located in a very quiet and peaceful location, with lovely views too.”

Very well equipped , and did have iron and hairdryer too! Only thing wrong, very small second bedroom and beds in there very small.

- Marian, September 2021
Theresa July 2021

“The garden was perfect for the dog,and for sitting and relaxing in.”

The walks to the beaches and coastal path, all on the doorstep . A very quiet and peaceful spot. Perfect retreat after all the tourist hotspots. We loved it. The approach road was a little challenging with the potholes, but we’ve accepted that as part of the reason it’s peaceful and out of the way.

- Theresa, July 2021
Teresa June 2021

“It's rare that a property truly does exceed expectations but Willow did.”

It is spacious and very comfortable (especially the beds). It is very well equipped and was very clean and tidy. The garden is excellent for dogs, being completely enclosed and has lovely views across the golf course. Everyone around the location was very friendly and we felt very welcome. We will definitely come again but probably in late May/early June or September to ensure that the beaches are accessible all the time. Having said this we found everywhere was very dog friendly and fully understand the beach restrictions regarding dogs in the height of the summer season.

- Teresa, June 2021
Rachel June 2021

“This was our 3rd visit to Willow Barn and again we were not disappointed.”

The cottage is always spotlessly clean and the enclosed garden is perfect for our two small dogs. We look forward to our next visit.

- Rachel, June 2021
Natalie June 2021

“Great location.”

Lovely peaceful break. Accommodation offered everything we needed and more. Added bonus of secure garden for dog

- Natalie, June 2021

“Settees were very uncomfortable.”

Dinning chair heavy to move to sit down. Very dark inside lounge area no sun or view which was disappointing.

- June, May 2021
Andrew May 2021

“Our stay at the Willows was just what we needed.”

Very spacious and well equipped. Beautiful countryside. Only one negative The road leading up to Pennance Barnes. This road needs some work. The potholes are car killers. Don't travel to fast down this lane.

- Andrew, May 2021
Surinder April 2021

“Willow barn was perfect - well equipped, immaculate throughout and in a beautiful private and peaceful location a stone through away from the coastal path.”

We would love to return in the summer.

- Surinder, April 2021
Georgina September 2020

“Willow was private, with a secure garden, ideal for our dog.”

Been near to other holiday barns also made it seem friendly and safe. Furnishings were modern and in good order and the whole cottage well maintained and spotlessly clean. It was easy to find and ideally situated near Swanpool Beach and Falmouth. We enjoyed a drive along the beautiful Helford River, exploring its delightful little coves and creeks. Another day was spent exploring Kynance Cove and The Lizard. Even one wet and windy day we found we could happily hang out in the cottage, reading or watching television, as it was so cosy and relaxing there.

- Georgina, September 2020
Cheryl August 2020

“Willow was a lovely property in a nice quiet setting and the garden was totally enclosed so the dog was happy to go out without us having to watch her.”

The weather wasn’t great but we went out each day and our two granddaughters went to the beach every day and we visited St Ives twice which is very pretty. Falmouth is a nice quaint holiday town and definitely worth a visit. We had a great holiday and would certainly book with Sykes again

- Cheryl, August 2020
Peter August 2020

- Peter, August 2020

Elizabeth August 2019

“We had asked for the twins to be zipped to form a King size and had confirmation of this however that was not the case.”

This has been resolved.

- Elizabeth, August 2019
Antoinette April 2019

“Well we have had a number of Sykes cottages and they have all been really really good if not perfect in most ways and we have always enjoyed and had a really good rest and lovely time.”

However with Willow the kitchen was a NIGHTMARE... so very small and totally unmanageable. If you turned around you bumped into one side. If you made a mistake of having a door open you suffered for it. Also if both of us tried to do something we’ll forget it completely. I know a lot of people always eat out but we like to do a little of both and certainly for a couple of days stay in and rest ... well this just didn’t happen .. so sadly NO we would not go back again. Also I do ring up during my holiday there to Sykes and got no response from the young lady dealing with me most upset as Sykes are always usually so goood and helpful... sorry that this is a saga but you have asked for feedback a couple of times ...

- Antoinette, April 2019
Judy February 2019

“We really enjoyed our stay at Willow cottage.”

With the beauty of the Cornish countryside all around and a very short walk to the coast path across the glorious golf course, made staying here perfect for our break in Falmouth. The cottage was very well equipped and comfortable, with an enclosed rear garden, making it brilliant for our dog.....we will certainly return.

- Judy, February 2019
Lesley November 2018

“It was an excellent cottage , well equipped and was so lovely to , that they had got milk and butter and cake when we arrived.”

There was also washing up liquid,towels and toiletries. What more can you ask for.

- Lesley, November 2018
Sarah October 2018

“Great house, everything there that you could possibly need.”

Fantastic location, great walks from doorstep just disappointed that the house could of been cleaner! Floors throughout were dirty they needed a good wash as socks and feet picked up the dirt! Toilet flush needs to be looked at but apart from that the house was comfortable, warm and cosy.

- Sarah, October 2018
Jenny September 2018

“We loved our stay in Willow, it met and exceeded our expectations.”

Great secure garden for our young Border Terrier made life easy, wonderful walks on the doorstep, beautiful setting and views, very well equipped cottage, just perfect. We had a small problem, needed help with the TV, the response from Sykes was immediate and in fact the Owner rang us from his holiday to talk us through what we had to do. Excellent customer care. Thank you and we hope to revisit soon.

- Jenny, September 2018
Alison September 2017

Adjacent to the town's prestigious coastal golf course, this holiday homestay is perfect for family, friends and couples seeking a fusion of recreation and relaxation, with attractions for everyone nearby.

The beach at Swanpool is a 10 minute stroll away, so take buckets, spades and swimwear.

A little further are the beaches at Maenporth and Gyllyngvase, with the Blue Flag award.

Situated on the coastal footpath, scenic walks begin from the doorstep and guests have private access onto the golf course, making this venue ideal for ramblers and golfers.

Falmouth's cobbled streets are home to shops and galleries, the National Maritime Museum and traditional inns.

Sample fresh, local produce at one of the superb eateries, many with harbourside views; the fish and chips at Rick Stein's seafood restaurant are excellent!

For an active break, it's a fabulous centre for water sports and fishing excursions, or board a pleasure boat to the cathedral city of Truro or waterside St Mawes with its 15th century castle.

A short drive to the east is the Helford River and the beautiful sub-tropical gardens of Trebah and Glendurgan, a nature lover's paradise.

Discover the tiny coves, fishing villages and stunning beaches on the Lizard Peninsula - Kynance Cove with its cliffs, white sands and turquoise ocean is captivating!

Iconic St Ives on the far west coast is a favored hot-spot with beaches, pretty quay, boutiques, ice-cream parlours and Tate St Ives.

Willow offers contemporary and comfy, semi-detached ground floor accommodation.

The open-plan living room is spacious with dining and kitchen area for happy socialising, with door to the enclosed rear garden offering a high degree of privacy.
