A very happy holiday !

We were a large family group staying in the Place Estate cottages and we loved them all. Lavender cottage has a real charm of its own against the walled garden of the estate. We also found that it was very protected from any wind and a pretty sunny courtyard. Inside it is extremely well equipped with all you could want and beautiful furnishings and a very comfortable bed ! We cannot wait to return…

Glorious Peace and Quiet

This was my second stay at Lavender Cottage and it was just as good as the first. If you are looking for a tranquil nook nestled amongst beautiful scenery then I can highly recommend this beautifully kept cottage at St Anthony. A real hideaway, but accessible for St Mawes, Gerrans, Portscatho and beyond. Do come here if you are looking for a quiet retreat, where you awake up to the morning birds and go to bed with the owls. This petite cottage has everything you need to escape from the world. Ideally situated for beaches, country walks an simply retreating from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommended.

Super location

A quaint cottage in a very quiet location, perfect for accessing the beautiful walks from the doorstep. A good open plan downstairs with the bonus of a private sunny patio garden. Level off-road parking. We would definitely like to return for another holiday in the future.

Stunning location but could do with some tlc

The location is great and the cottage has loads of character. There's a new kitchen but rest of cottage could do with some love and a deep clean.

Peaceful cottage

Lovely little cottage. Be aware Place House next door is a wedding venue so in season you can expect at least one very noisy night! Apart from that it’s totally quiet. A few basics left would be nice, we had one J Cloth for all washing up, and one dishwasher tablet.. Logs and kindling for the stove was a nice touch but bring matches. We enjoyed our stay.

not perfect

We have been coming to the area for over 20 years, and to Lavender since before covid. Of late we have been disappointed to find the cottage somewhat neglected. Basic cleaning is fine. But it would be pleasing to be able to shut the bedroom door; to be comfortable on the loo seat; to have the blind in the sitting room mended; the windows and yard door cleaned; a new mat outside the kitchen door ; and the garden table scrubbed. Nevertheless we again enjoyed our stay this year and look forward to coming again. Jessica and John Ayers

Perfect

We have just spent 5 nights here with our small dogs ,the courtyard is completely secure which was great for us. We had great weather and enjoyed many beautiful walks , didn’t use the car at all . So nice to come back after our walks and spend time sat in the garden listening to all the birdsong. Such a peaceful location to wind down and recharge the batteries. We are definitely going to book again.

Not happy

On our arrival at Lavender cottage, I thought what a stunning location. Only shops available at St Mawes or Falmouth. The least i expected was a welcome pack with basic items to make a cuppa or coffee. (This was something i always provided when rented out properties). The cottage itself was cleaned to a low standard, (dirty and cracked mug in cupboard) The toilet seat was completely broken, plumber could not fix it, needs replacing!!! Rusty shelf in oven, BBQ dirty and unusable. Only two towels one bath one hand provided for a weeks stay (very mean). I will not stay there again.

Needs a good clean.

We stayed at Lavender cottage last year and decided to rebook for this year because we loved the location! Unfortunately this time we were very disappointed. On arrival it was clear the place hadn’t been cleaned prior to us arriving. Lots of dead flies and cobwebs in every room. The toilet bowl was dirty, and the toilet seat was mouldy. Around the base of the sink and skirting boards was very dirty. The bathroom window was mouldy as were the walls in the bathroom and at the top of the stairs. We also had no hot water, with no instructions left on how to switch it on. Luckily we figured it out quite quickly once we located the boiler. I contacted Nicky who popped over to apologise, and I have since emailed FalCottages but I’m still awaiting a response. Needless to say I doubt we will return. It’s a shame because it’s a very sweet cottage in a lovely quiet location.
