Beautiful setting

Louise and Matt made us very welcome and the cottage had everything we needed including all kitchen essentials.The garden is very relaxing and we were glad to be able to find lots of cool shady areas in the very hot weather that we had during our stay.Quite nicely situated for visiting the Lizard area and not too far to drive to get to the Penzance and Cape Cornwall areas. Recommended for garden lovers.

Calm and peace

Garden Cottage is a well-designed small property. It's set in a beautiful garden of calm and tranquillity. We stayed for 5 nights, visiting various places on the Lizard peninsula and also Trebah Garden. Owners Matt and Louise were very helpful. They also provided lots of literature about the area and maps of local walks.

Wonderful Time

Everything about the property was fine and the garden was exceptional. If anyone in your party is over 5'8" tall they will struggle with ceiling height, though!

Lovely little cottage, beautiful location

A perfect retreat after a difficult year. This little cottage offers everything you need for a couple or single. Set in gardens created with interesting architecture and planting the location offers a peaceful and relaxing hideaway. The overall location offers the best of the Lizard within easy reach and easy access to the Scilly Isles. The hosts are thoughtful, welcoming and discreet. Highly recommended.

Stimmungsvolles kleines Garten Cottage, zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Klasse war dass Grundnahrungsmittel Butter, Kaffee, Tee und Gewürze sowie Spülmittel, Seife und Shampoo vorhanden waren.

Beautiful cottage and garden but really really small!

The cottage and garden were full of character and contained everything we needed for our stay. The area was beautiful and we really enjoyed exploring it. The only negative was the cottage was really tiny and we felt there wasn’t really room to sit around and relax. If it was warmer I’m sure we’d have just sat in the garden which was really stunning with lots of interesting nooks and crannies.
