“We loved our stay in Padstow.”

The upstairs conservatory with views over the estuary was the best place to relax. The house was well equipped and well decorated. We would stay there again.

“WOW!!!”

The location of this cottage is amazing, a hidden away treasure with great views. Our kids loved the secret passage ways to the shops. A short walk to the beach. The summerhouse was a bonus, great to relax in. Lovely garden, great cottage.....we really enjoyed our holiday in Padstow. Highly recommend this cottage.

“We love Mount Pleasant and this is our second visit - very much our style and aesthetic.”

The location is second to none and the garden is the perfect sun trap - albeit the beach is so close too. The conservatory is the perfect chill out zone with stunning views.

“Very disappointed in this property.”

Whilst it is a very good size, in an ideal location and well equipped, it was sadly lacking in comfort and cleanliness. The listing claimed that no pets were allowed however not long after arriving our allergies reacted to such an extent that it was very clear to us that pets had been present recently, especially dogs. It is also hard to believe that the couches could be made so grubby by people alone. An there are of course the tiny pet chairs!!! like i said disappointed. Whilst the upstairs was clean and tidy the furniture needs updating and replacing as do the carpets. The kitchen was grubby with the oven grimy with grease inside and out. Some of the cutlery and crockery were dirty/unwashed with food dried on them pots, to the extent that we didnt want to prepare and eat food in the house. It could have been clearer about the lack of parking - it was clear from the listing that the house did not have vehicle access but it claimed there was a car park close by. this was deceitful. High inaccurate and expensive.

Thank you for your feedback. If you contact us during your stay we would have been able to help immediately with any issues reported. We confirm no animals have been in the property and the property is pet free. The property is due to have a deep clean at the end of the season but the housekeeping team ensures a high level of cleanliness throughout the summer season. The property is listed not having a parking space and the car park is located nearby but it still require a walk to reach the property. For the price of your stay, the property is a Friday changeover and you booked a holiday across two weeks, which increased the overall rental. Property Owner

“What a lovely house!”

Perfectly located for Mayday & absolutely beautiful. Even the lack of parking didn't dampen our stay. The beds were comfortable, the garden lovely to sit in, & the view from the sun room stunning! Thank you so much. Xx

“Beautiful house, beds super comfy but a bit small.”

Wonderful location quiet but a step straight into a bustling town.

“Had a wonderfully relaxing week at Mount Pleasant.”

Lots of beaches in and around Padstow to walk or drive to. Everything you could want in the house - conservatory a benefit during the odd shower of rain and a bbq for relaxing during the evening. Highly recommend.

“Comfortable, convenient, peaceful, homely hideaway in the heart of Padstow.”

Great access to walks and beaches without the car, no parking at the property. Excellent communication by the owner. Wonderful family holiday.

“We love Padstow and the Camel Estuary and return to the area year after year.”

However, this October we were badly let down this year by Sykes Cottages and by the Owner of Mount Pleasant. We cannot recommend tMount Pleasant or Sykes Cottages. The standard of maintenance at Mount Pleasant is low. We arrived to find the cottage had no hot water. The area of damp in the boiler cupboard was evidence of a leak that has been going on a while. The first 3 days of our holiday were spent on the phone, liaising with the owner, with Customer Relations at Sykes and with the Plummer. We were able to have a wash on the Sunday by walking to the other side of the village to use the shower in a hotel. On the third day it was decided that the property needed a new boiler and the heating needed to be turned off too. Sykes informed us that they were unable to fulfill the booking and that we would have to vacate the property. The fourth day of our holiday was spent packing up, reloading the car, cleaning and tidying up the cottage and travelling elsewhere. We were moved to a rather gloomy, damp house in another part of Cornwall, where we had not chosen to spend our holiday (we had booked to be Padstow to celebrate our son's 18th). Needless to say we are pursuing compensation for our aborted holiday. However neither the owner nor Sykes are willing to take responsibility. We are currently still battling with unanswered emails, endless prevarication and passing the buck. We need Sykes management to step in and resolve this issue immediately.

- Ruth, October 2020

Thank you for taking the time to leave this feedback. We are sorry to hear that you feel badly let down. As you are aware, the boiler problems were out of the owner's control and once the owner was made aware of the problem, everything possible was done to rectify the situation. The heating was working, but as you had no hot water the owner booked you a hotel room so that you could shower in comfort. Unfortunately, the plumber subsequently advised that a new boiler was required, so we offered you the choice of a full refund, or to be re-housed in a different property. We hope that the gesture of good will that you have received to compensate you for these issues will go some way to mitigating your experience. Property Owner

“The accommodation was very good in most respects the only downside was the difficulty of parking anywhere near the property whether this was the result of the pandemic with so many people holidaying in this country ?”

“A beautiful family home for the week.”

Ideally situated for the local amenities of Padstow i.e. the pubs LOL. The sun room was great, with exceptional views across the town & out towards the sea.

“The only downside was that there was no parking and I had to use a pay and display car park that cost £8 per day apart from that it is a great house.”

“Excellent location, down a little path at the side of the house and you are in the town.”

The house is very clean and comfortable. Bedding and towels spotless. Very calm and relaxing atmosphere in the house. Well stocked with glasses, plates etc, the only negative comments I would make is that some of the kitchen utensils need replacing, some of the pans, knives were a little rusty so had to scrub them before they were used. The central heating system was a little tempramental but saying this we had a fabulous time and would definitely return.

- Mandy, November 2018
Sarah September 2018

“We had the most wonderful holiday.”

The house is perfectly located, being able to nip down the path in a few minutes into the heart of town was perfect. A good size garden to allow our little boy to play whilst we enjoyed the evening sun. The house is well equipped and very comfortable. We will certainly return.

- Sarah, September 2018
Linda July 2018

“Home was ideal for holiday with different generations of family circle.”

Location was ideal for quick access to Padstow. Beautifully comfortable home with different areas to sit in and good garden with view of Camel Estuary. Would definitely recommend.

“An amazing house right in the heart of Padstow.”

The location couldn’t be better. It’s set back from the Main Street and has a beautiful garden overlooking the harbour. The house is really tastefully decorated and cosy. Really couldn’t fault the house.

“Perfect location.”

Beautiful home for the week. Very well equipped. As we arrived quite late a Welcome pack would have been appreciated. We thoroughly enjoyed our week

Claire March 2018

“We had a great stay in this lovely cottage, very cosy, well equipped, handy for the town centre and with beautiful views of the estuary from the conservatory.”

Only downside is the lack of parking, but we found on road parking about 5 minutes walk away.

The property

A handsome detached house with commanding views over Padstow to the Camel estuary.

Wonderfully secluded with a big garden, it doesn't seem possible it could be in the heart of this special and famous town.

Thirty yards of passageway lead to the centre of shops, pubs, restaurants, cafés; harbour, 150 yards.

Lawned garden to the front (patio, little shaded raised deck, table/chairs, BBQ).

Patio doors from garden to lovely spacious open-plan sunlight-filled ground-floor, comprising conservatory/dining room/kitchen (slimline dishwasher, microwave, gas hob/electric oven) and living room with TV/DVD and 'living flame' gas fire, all looking south to the garden.

Big utility room (washing machine, tumble drier, fridge-freezer, sink) with space for boots, bicycles and surfboards, and two external doors.

Downstairs loo.

Stairs up to three bedrooms, all with great views - a double leading through to a sunroom with comfy seating, table/chairs and views; a room with double bed plus single; and a room with 2'6" single plus child's cabin bed (5'6" x 2').

Bathroom (suite with separate shower).

Loading/unloading on quiet road via 40 yard sloping path.

Free road parking possible, but not guaranteed; car park, 300 yards.

Just right for those who want the lively buzz of this little town, plus privacy, relaxation and space too. Padstow: very attractive old small harbour town (excellent restaurants, Rick Stein's base) on the River Camel's sandy estuary.

Many fine beaches very close and headlands for walking; sea birds.

Pedestrian ferry to Rock (watersports, sailing school) and very good golf course (St Enodoc).

About the location

PADSTOW

Harlyn 2.9 miles; Constantine Bay 4.2 miles; Polzeath 15.6 miles.

Padstow is situated at the head of the Camel Cycle Trail and is a fantastic base for exploring the South West Coastal Path which opens up routes to beautiful Cornish countryside. This delightful fishing port is surrounded by sandy beaches and offers many opportunities to taste the locally sourced produce in celebrity owned establishments. Padstow has something for everyone with watersports, walking, cycling and fishing, you can even take a trip on a local fisherman’s boat! The excellent surfing beaches of Harlyn and Constantine are ideal for safe family fun, and Constantine Bay is also home to a golf course, just a few miles away, while a passenger ferry across the river from Padstow to Rock takes you to the beach at Daymer Bay. Just around the corner toward Pentire Head is the surfing paradise at Polzeath, and when the beach no longer calls, there’s a golf course nearby, several stately homes and gardens to visit. The fabulous Eden Project is just over twenty miles away.
