Aug 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Swallows Cottage My daughter and I loved staying at this charming little modern cottage. We were situated in calm and quiet surroundings (with only the property owners, their pets and a field of quiet cows as neighbours!) We were near main roads (after a little drive down narrow country lanes first!) and visited places such as Porthmeor, St. Ives, Launceston, Marazion, St. Michaels Mount, Fraddon, Fowey, Strawberry Fields, Charlie Bears Bearhouse Gallery & Shop, Lanhydrock, and stopping at West Bay on the way back home! Swallows Cottage provides all the necessities that may be needed on a holiday. Fully supplied kitchen and also has baby cot, seat etc available. The beds were comfy too! A welcome gift of Cornish biscuits, freshly laid eggs (from the owners own hens!) were really appreciated! And my daughter discovered she likes Peppermint tea! We would highly recommend Swallows Cottage to anyone looking to stay in this part of Cornwall. ##### Melanie S. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tobias P. Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely cozy refuge from the daily grind Swallows Cottage is a nice, cute and cozy cottage with everything it takes to distract yourself from your daily life. In the midst of fields and some farm buildings in the area, Swallows Cottage offers healing tranquility. Whenever you try to listen for anything besides the sounds of nature (birds, squirrels and cows mainly) you fail. It is very quiet and this was exactly what we needed. Easily you can enjoy the beautiful surroundings from the patio and relax in the nature or you get inside where everything is at hand that you need - the kitchen is well equipped, two bathrooms to share with your family, a room for kids and a bedroom for the parents and kitchen next to the comfortable living room. Brochures of activities and sights in Devon or Cornwall are at the ready and the host is very friendly and welcoming. This was the perfect location for our two-weeks holiday on the border of Devon / Cornwall and we can very well recommend this to anyone who seeks peace and time for yourself. ##### Tobias P.
