Sky Holiday Cottage visitors comments

The following are all taken directly from our visitors book or from your lovely emails during the past year. Thanks for all the wonderful comments which help us to keep Sky Cottage on the right track.

Loved our stay here in this beautiful cottage. Had one nice sunny day the rest was dominated by rain but still we don't want to go home. Recommend the Old Ferry Inn at Boddinick for an atmospheric pub and warm welcome and good food too. The walk to Fowey is lovely but don't buy too many things when you get there like we did and had to carry them back up and down muddy footpaths. Just one small point for attention, the gutter over the front door leaks in the rain and splashes are a bit noisy. (Paul on the case) a fantastic relaxing week. Thank you. Dora and Regan.

A lovely village and a cottage that felt like home. The perfect location for 'Der Honeymoon' Steffi and Horst.

Had a lovely stay in the cottage, very comfortable and in a lovely location. Thanks for the arrival treat. Fishermans Arms great for an evening drink overlooking river. Fowey River trip nice to see up and down river on sunny day. Fish and chips at the Rising Sun pub in St Mawes very good. We had a very rainy week so appeciated the DVD's on two evenings. Hope you all have a lovely stay in this really cute cottage, thanks Karin and Nick

Loved Sky Cottage, well equipped comfortable and clean. Enjoyed the little garden oasis, read alot and just relaxed. Eden Project is brilliant for any body any age, gardeners or not. Would interest budding designers and eco warriors. Polperro beautiful harbour but touristy. Polkerris beach nice little cove. Looe, family orientated british beach resort. St Mawes, Falmouth, good scenery, cafes, little shops. Lovely walks locally. Lots of places to eat in Fowey. Readymoney beach good place in Fowey. Would love to come back Denise and Steve. PS nice beach at Gorran Haven and Mevagissey. Really enjoyed our stay at Sky Cottage. The cottage was perfect, beautiful setting, and well equipped and spotless. Parking went well. Thank you for welcoming wine and biscuits, just the job.

A very pretty, clean cottage. The locals are friendly and helpful. A lovely artist lives just across the road at The Studio. Just knock the door ... well worth a look around. Loved our stay, thank you. Lynn and Andy xx

Lovely Cottage in a peaceful spot. Apart from the wet weather we had a lovely time. Please use the firewood we've left behind, our Landrover has broken down so we are unable to take it with us. Many thanks Lesley and John.

Very comfortable stay at Sky Cottage, beautiful spot. V good food at Fishermans Arms, Globe Inn and Crown Inn - Lanlivery. Lots to see and do in Cornwall. Dennis and Daphne

This is the most wonderfully tranquil place to spend a holiday. The weather has been very good and we were greeted every morning by the glass - like eden of the river at the bottom of the hill. We did lots of sight seeing but spent several evenings sitting outside the Fishermans Arms enjoying a drink and looking at the view - unbeatable! And, best of all, we got engaged while we were here so it was the most perfect holiday ever! Colin and Fiona

Enjoyed our week down here, delightful cottage and lovely decor. A bigger teapot would be great. (Cris is on the case) enjoyed walking over to Fowey and the coastal path to Polperro which is pretty but spoilt by tacky commercialism. Lanhydrock house was very enjoyable but the Eden Project was very busy. Great meals at the Cormorant and Rick Stein's Bistro in Padstow. Also cream tea at the Little Bistro Hotel on the Esplanade in Fowey on a terrace overlooking the river - heavenly. All in all a good week, Jane and Phil .

Another perfect week at Sky Cottage. As last year, weather was amazing and we were able to start every day with leisurely breakfast in the garden. Cottage wonderful. Apart from many visits to the beach (swimming) we had lovely coastal walks. We discovered Menabilly this year, and did some walking on the coastal path. Our fave beach still Caerhayes, probably because it's so quiet at this time of year. Golant and cottage perfect, and for eating out, yes Sam's, Pinky Murphy's, Rashleigh Arms in Polkerris, Trevithans in Lostwithiel, and of course, the Cormorant. Still lots of new things to do so we'll be back. Wendy and Peter.

After a perfect wedding we had a perfect Honeymoon at Sky Cottage. It was better than we could ever have hoped, a beautiful place to stay and in a gorgeous village. We also fell in love with Fowey and the Dwelling House is a must for afternoon tea. Also the Eden Project, Port Isaac and Padstow are not to be missed, especially Rick Stein's fish and chips. Thank you for a fantastic week and we look forward to our return visit. Roz and James Windsor xx

We've had another lovely week in Golant and Sky Cottage is gorgeous as ever. We've enjoyed some lovely coastal walks particularly from Polruan coming back through the picturesque Pont and around Gribbin Head. I love the beaches at Polridmouth and the parking at Hambland is just 40p. The food service and views from the Fishermans Arms Golant, was great as usual despite new management. We had a fantastic meal at Sam's, Fowey, with brilliant atmosphere. It's really a must if you love seafood and there's a good selection if you don't. Thank you. Petrina and Edward.

Cottage just about perfect more than we dared hope for. Clean, cosy and warm with a great shower and we love D Dodridge 2004 in the bedroom. We agree with previous comments, Fisherman's Arms could not be more friendly, in fact the whole village. Tiffins - great food shame about the service, Sams - brilliant service and atmosphere, just watch the waistline! Check out Port Isaac, just avoid the film crews, it's really pretty. Rick's fish and chop and pasties are pricey but the best and try the walk to Stepper Point and view of Padstow Bay. If you have time the walks and views between Botallack and Gurnards Head just take your breath away. We had a great holiday here, hope you do too. Mike and Cilla (who are returning in October!)

Four days is definitely not long enough in a place like this, we've had such a wonderful time! Sky cottage has been the perfect base, and we found ourselves at the Eden Project, Heligan, Newquay, Mevagissey and Truro all in 48 hours! Good things certainly come in small packages and we will be revisiting the cottage as soon as we can escape the city again. It has been a relaxing stay, and we have felt very welcome indeed (especially with the wine and shortbread) Will and Lucy xx

A great week - thank you so much, have fallen in love with the cottage and surroundings. Wonderful coastal walks, lots of rest and relaxation, time to read and too much fine food! Off home to the Midlands feeling totally revitalised. Will be back if you'll have us. Thank you too for the welcoming touches especially the Easter Bunnies! Michelle and Steve x

Phew just arrived - luxury. The sun is shining like mad so I'm off for a walk to Fowey. Looe in the late afternoon , sun is gorgeous, lots of regeneration going on and you can see where Echo Beach has been filmed. Have a great holiday ,Cris

What a fantastic Valentine's surprise! "Don't get better than this" We have felt it was home from home , thank you. Ray and Jane

What a fabulous week we've had. The perfect holiday - muddy walk to Fowey, great fish pie at the pub ... heaven ... Cris and Paul

Sky Cottage is just perfect! Quaint, romantic, secluded - just what we needed (and very well equipped). Would recommend: Fowey - fab unusual shops. Boscastle - interesting to see how they've rebuilt it. Mousehole - very small but quaint. Not so keen on: Mevagissey - shops a bit tacky 'seasidey'. Lands End - too touristy. Love Cornwall (Kent)

We've had a lovely week. The cottage is beautiful it's everything we had hoped for and more! Many thanks for all the little extras that made our stay even more special. The village is so pretty and everyone very friendly. If you love walking and like beautiful views we would recommend the coastal walk around Lizard Point and Dodman Point. Other hightlights : Lost gardens of Heligan, Boscastle, Mousehole, Fowey, Polperro and Padstow but only for the fish and chips! Hope to be back soon.

An excellent week, plenty to do and a really good base. Had a couple of meals at Fisherman's Arms (in Golant), very good just be prepared to order early as they may stop taking orders. Highlights Barbara Hepworth ** museum St Ives. Eden Project **, Mevagissey, Truro, Charlestown (Lincs)

Fantastic holiday! Thank you for a delightful cottage, it had everything we could have needed. Highly recommend Sam's in Fowey for dinner and the Fisherman's Arms (in Golant). Rick Stein's Cafe in Padstow was lovely and you don't have to book for lunch. Went on some fantastic coastal walks - would recommend St Agnes Beacon and the walk round the Roseland peninsular near St Mawes. If you're going to get a taxi into Fowey, we'd recommend Fowey Taxis - very reliable. Thanks for a great time.

Wonderful cottage, peaceful location. Just right to get away to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Always fans of Cornwall and its hospitality, Sky Cottage did not disappoint.

Very homely cottage, could stay here for another week. Would highly recommend the Saint's Way to Fowey and then the ferry to Mevagissey. You can walk from there to the Lost Gardens of Heligan which are a must see. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Beautiful cottage, very well done. Village is lovely and quiet, locals friendly also. The walk to Fowey was wonderful and the church is worth a visit. Plenty of places to visit, all close too, we had an excellent time, would come again.

Thank you for a lovely week! Weather was beautiful - perfect for relaxing on the patio! Spent much time pottering in Fowey - The Galleon was well worth a visit for lunch and The Fisherman's Arms (in Golant) was as good as its recommendations. Cottage was more than we could have hoped for, thank you so much.

Fantastic holiday!! Cottage really nice and comfortable. Weather fantastic - good for walking to Fowey. Eden Project really close by - well worth a visit, good food. Hope to return again.

Thank you for your warm welcome in lovely Sky Cottage. We enjoyed our time and we were lucky about the weather facing the flood catastrophy all around. Fisherman's Arms (Golant) and Pinky Murphy's (Fowey) both worth more than one visit! The cottage was everything we hoped for and more.

Many thanks, Sky Cottage met all our expectations and we've had a wonderful few days. We wont tell all our friends because we'd like to come back!

Easter Everything a Cornish holiday cottage should be! Great Stay, great weather and great coast walking. We second the previous comment that the Blue Peter pub in Polperro should not be missed. Nor should Rick Stein's fish and chips in Padstow.

Just to say that we had a fantastic time last week at Sky Cottage. We both thought the cottage was superb and will certainly be going back one day and also recommending it to all our friends and family.

We would also like to thank you for the lovely card and wine and biscuits, they were very much appreciated, especially the wine which was drunk that afternoon on the patio! The car parking space was very much appreciated also, I don't know how other people manage in some of the other cottages. We were very, very lucky with the weather which enabled us to do lots of coastal walks plus sightseeing but also lovely to come home to the cottage in the evening after a long day out. Just to say thank you once again and hopefully we will be back maybe next year. (Winchester) (email)

30/3 We've had the most lovely relaxing few days here in Golant, so peaceful. We thought the cottage was very homely and thank you for the welcoming touches. Hope to come again.

Just a quick email to say that we had a lovely time in the cottage, it is a truly special little place and the area was wonderful. Thank you for making a weekend away so easy for us and I am sure that we will be back.

Felt like home as soon as arrived. Really lovely cottage and setting. Appreciated extra touches on arrival - if more places had these standards, fewer people would go abroad. Nice little walks to be had at Lerryn. Will definately recommend the area and this cottage to others. Thanks.

Christmas Came to Golant to get away from Christmas and have had the most fabulous break. The cottage and village are everything that we could have wished for. The 'little extras' that are provided in the cottage made it really special. We hope to return in the summer. Back home for New Year ... don't want to go! Happy New Year xxx Would just like to add that the Fishermans is very welcoming. Our first night coincided with Xmas Draw Night and we walked away with a crate of beer! If any future visitors go to Polperro the Blue Peter pub is a must. The cottage was everything we hoped for and more.

A beautiful cottage in a beautiful setting. Lovely walk to Fowey and very friendly locals. We'll be back.

Can I just say to everyone. It is us who should be saying thank you to you all for staying. You have all made it possible for us to maintain and keep Sky Cottage to such a high standard. We visit often and have many friends in the village. It is a piece of heaven for us and we love sharing it with all our guests. There has never been any damage , thank you for your great care, and everyone has been a joy to interact with for bookings.
