An absolute delight

Swallow Cottage was perfect for our needs. The property is small but has everything you could need for a restful and relaxing stay in your home-from-home. The location is ideal for access to major routes allowing you to explore the beautiful Cornish countryside. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful stay. Wonderful hosts. Great location.

When our hostess arrived with a fresh sprig of rosemary for our 'yay, we arrived' gin and tonic, we knew we'd have a nice time.

Lovely owners, a beautiful cottage in a great location.

Steve and Sue were excellent, friendly hosts who really couldn't do enough to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was roomier than expected and well equipped. Couldn't have asked for more.

Scones zur Begrüßung

Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, das Cottage zu finden, wurden wir mit frischen, selbst gebackenen Scone, Marmelade und Cornish clotted Cream begrüßt. Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Hauptraum besteht aus der super ausgestatteten Küche, einem Esstisch sowie einem Sofa mit TV. Daran angrenzend liegt das Schlafzimmer mit großem Bett. Außerdem ist ein kleines Schlafzimmer vorhanden. Im Bad sind neben dem WC, Dusche und Waschbecken auch eine Waschmaschine vorhanden. Der Garten konnte mitbenutzt werden. Fußläufig liegt ein echt schöner Pub mit guter Küche. Unsere Ausflugstipps: Portloe, Trewithin Garden, Carne Beach. Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt im Swallow Cottage.
