Very nice and very well equipped Cottage

The Swallow Cottage Cornwall is a very nice and well equipped cottage in a beautiful and quiet area with other cottages and a farm near by. The communication with the landlords was very easy and the handover by the keycode was very easy and smooth.Absolutely recommended!

Swallow Cottage

We had a lovely holiday In Cornwall and the cottage was a pleasure to come back to after a day at the beach or sightseeing. Swallow Cottage is very homely and tastefully decorated. The modern and traditional blend well together. The kitchen is very well appointed with all modern appliances. The bathroom also. There are two steps to the lounge and another two in the leading to the bathroom and bedrooms. The later two do not have a handrail due to the location near hallway window. Some guests may find this difficult if they have mobility issues. The enclosed garden is wonderful for the four legged guest. Our little fur baby loved it. Parking for in loading & reloading luggage is ver convenient. All in all a lovely place to stay. Well deserving of an exceptional rating.
