Jennifer September 2024

“We enjoyed staying in Longships.”

It is very well equipped and well furnished. We loved its position close to the beach, the Minack Theatre and beautiful coastline. We would have liked some instructions for the electric heaters as there were several programmes and we were not able to work it out.

“Very nice property and lovely location.”

A non slip bath mat would be useful as the bath can be very slippery when wet. There was quite a strange smell downstairs

Stephen September 2023

“An absolute joy.”

Excellent facilities throughout, but it’s the little unexpected details that makes a visit memorable, welcome items, deco, information, even an outside shower for wet suits.

“Longships was a lovely place to stay.”

Perfect for us as we were visiting family in Penzance and we also love Porthcurno beach. We will be back and would love to stay at Longships again. Thank you

Peter July 2023

“Longships is ideally located.”

It is close to lovely Porthcurno beach, stunning cliff walks, and the wonderful Minnack Theatre. The accommodation is very clean, comfortable and well equipped, and we cannot speak highly enough of it.

“We really enjoyed our stay at Longships.”

Thomas June 2022

“Amazing location and property.”

Kitchen so well equipped - we made cakes! (Silicon bun trays, scales, whisk all in cupboards). Some great cookbooks, good quality cutlery. A well looked after owners holiday home. Great selection of books, dvds and games for a rainy day. Comfortable beds - what more could one ask for. Lovely quiet village. Stones throw from Porthcurno beach. Lamorna cove is only a couple of miles - well worth a visit. St Buryan has a lively shop selling local bacon and sausage and house just up from there sells great fr eggs.

“This was ideal accommodation for our extended holiday in Porthcurno.”

It met our requirements perfectly and we hope to stay there again.

Graham September 2021

“The pub closed down at least 2 months ago and will not reopen until next year at the earliest.”

As we like to have a drink with our dinner and don't drink & drive, this meant that we had to cook in the cottage each evening. This means we don't get a holiday from cooking ! Also, your app gives a countdown to when we can get in. This is set for midnight, but we cannot get in till 17.30 later that day !

Tanuja August 2021

“Longships felt more like a cottage than a duplex apartment.”

It was very clean and comfortable. It had everything there we needed to make our stay easy. It is also ideally located for the beach - 5-7 min walk.

- Tanuja, August 2021
Tracy July 2021

“Very disapointed in all the servives, very dirty bathroom mould everywhere, dirty windows and broken curtain poles.”

We had no wifi and very bad comunication as no phone reception so had to drive out of Valley to make phone call, wifi working on our last day, my 16 year old not happy at all ! Over all all very upsetting and very disapointed, will not recomend to stay here or book through Sykes Cottages.

- Tracy, July 2021

Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry to hear about the issues you encountered during your stay. We contacted you at the start and during your stay to make you aware of the unforeseen WIFI problems that week at the property. If you had contacted us about the other issues during your stay we would have been happy to help. Property Owner

“Apart from a very uncomfortable mattress (a very hard ridge down the middle ) on the double bed, we had a very pleasant stay.”

We also feel the initial problem with Covid compliance could have been resolved less stressfully with a bit more forethought.

- Pete, May 2021

“Lovely accommodation giving space and every amenity you could need in a stunning location.”

Did not want to leave and very much hope to return. Totally recommend.

The property

This property is just a short stroll from the beach.

Porthcurno and its spectacular cove of soft white sands and clear azure seas framed by jagged headlands was the site of Britains first major empire communications link in 1870 where a chain of telegraph cables connecting Britain with India was completed.

This beautiful peaceful valley creates the perfect environment for quietly lazing by the sea, walking the rugged cliff paths and enjoying stunning views, or watching a performance at the unforgettable Minack Theatre carved out of the natural rock on the cliff edge, with the sea as a magnificent backdrop.

Ideally located an easy stroll from the beach, coastal footpath, tennis courts, and museum, we feature individually owned apartments sensitively converted from a former hotel, along with three that are detached from the main building. Well appointed and featuring a light modern decor and attractively furnished it provides all the comforts of home and has access to the terraced gardens (please supervise young children) and communal parking.

The newly extended and refurbished ground floor has transformed Longships into a delightfully bright and cheerful holiday home.

This holiday home has a well equipped kitchen/diner.

Upstairs the master bedroom enjoys a lovely double aspect with French doors opening out on to a decked area with access to the gardens.

There is allocated parking and free wifi

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
