“Wagtail cottage was small but perfectly formed.”

Sheila and Peter went out of their way to provide a warm welcome despite the cold wet weather. Not having stayed in this part of Cornwall before, we really appreciated the stack of "we have eaten well here and you may enjoy it too" menus. We had a lovely meal at the Smugglers Cott in Looe and really recommend it.

“Something happened on booking.”

I put in the dates from mon 14- sat19. Somehow the website tried to book from sat- i managed to get really confused and booked 12-17. Couldnt change it. Pity. Expensive mistake so probably wont use the site again.

“The cottage was brilliant, with a vine-covered patio for breakfast, decent-size kitchen with everything you could possibly need and more.”

Everything had been thought about to make our stay comfortable from the start - we did not have to go shopping for the basics like kitchen towels, toilet paper, washing-up liquid, sponge or sugar! The landlady had prepared a Cornish cream tea for our arrival. A little quiet backwater that you could easily miss on your way to more popular destinations. And easy access to the coast, for walks, the Eden Project, farm shops and the general Cornish beauty. Thank you so much!

- Ms Fresko, August 2019
“Wagtail cottage is a beautiful little cottage with everything you could need.”

The owners Sheila and Peter are a lovely couple, very helpful. We will definately be booking to go again

- Mrs Johnson, July 2019
“Both Sheila and Peter were welcoming on our arrival.”

The Cottage was immaculate, gorgeous Cornish cream tea waiting for us. Very relaxing holiday would certainly recommend any of their cottages to anyone.

“Our holiday at Wagtail Cottage was wonderful from start to finish .”

We were greeted by the owners with a lovely cream tea and also a chocolate rabbit for my granddaughter . The cottage is beautiful with everything you could possibly need for a self catering holiday . The kitchen is well equipped , and very clean . The lounge is very comfortable with a large flat screen tv . We had excellent weather for March , but it was lovely to have the woodburner for the evenings . Both bedrooms have very comfortable beds , and the added bonus of a tv in each. The cottage is in a lovely quiet rural location , but is well situated for visiting many places in Cornwall . We enjoyed days out in Polperro , Fowey and Looe . The Jubilee Inn is a five minute drive away , and we had a lovely meal there one evening . The cottage garden is very pretty with table ,chairs and a bench too . It was also good to have the large parking space .

“Wagtail cottage meets ever expectation beautiful setting quiet location ...”

Wagtail cottage meets ever expectation beautiful setting quiet location equipped with everything you may need situated within short distance of many of the main attraction this is our second holiday at the same location would highly recommend it

- Mr Green, June 2018
“The cottage was beautiful and very well equipped.”

The owners met us on arrival and were very pleasant and helpful. Sheila showed us around the cottage and Peter helped us to light the log burner. There was tea and a lovely chocolate cake waiting for us on arrival. The beds were extremely comfortable. Even though the weather was not too good being January, we still enjoyed our stay very much and would be very happy to stay again. We enjoyed feeding the birds in the garden with the seeds which were also provided. Really quiet location ideal to relax and unwind but not too far from Looe which we love. Liskeard is not far and has a large Morrison's supermarket which is handy, and the station which is ideal for travelling to other parts of Cornwall such as st Ives and Penzance.

- Mrs Brogan, January 2018
“A gorgeous cottage for a truly relaxing break.”

This darling cottage is equipped with everything you could want . It is tastefully decorated throughout and very inkeeping with the building itself and country surroundings. Modern kitchen and shower room. Within easy reach of Looe and it's sandy beach, Eden project, lost gardens of Heligan, Mevagissy, aren't very far away,. Also pretty secluded garden for your evening glass of tipple. Very quiet location with the most comfortable beds which promises a perfect night's sleep at the end of your busy day. The drawback for some maybe that there is no pub or any shops within walking distance. Though it never bothered my Daughter or myself. Would love to return next time we visit Cornwall.
