  • "Louise and Lee were perfect hosts."

    We genuinely felt that it was important to them that we enjoyed the holiday. The cottage was comfortable, cosy and well decorated. There were lovely touches throughout When it stated dog friendly it truly was. . There were lovely walks for Cooper our Retreiver and he enjoyed his special biscuits. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay

    Thank you for your lovely feedback, and so glad you both had a lovely stay, and cooper enjoyed himself, take care Louise & Lee Property Owner

  • "A really lovely place to stay."

    The owners are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. It is very peaceful and the cottage was very warm and cosy. We tended to cook for ourselves and there is most things you would need. The coffee machine is one that uses the little pods, not a cafetière - the information just says a coffee machine. We would definitely return next time we are looking to go to Cornwall.

    Thank you for your lovely feedback and was lovely to have you all stay with us, I will ensure there is a cafetière for you to use on your return, if I had know I would have supplied one for you to ensure your holiday was perfect, it’s hard to know what each guest would like / prefer, I do supply pods to start people off on their stay as you know but now I know people would like the cafetière I will get one! So thank you for feedback to ensure people have the best experience, thank you again Louise & Lee Property Owner

  • "Lavender cottage is a home from home, it has everything you could possibly want, it’s warm and really comfortable."

    Everything is finished to a high standard and you couldn’t want for more. It is peacefully and a little sun trap when the suns shining .The hosts Louise and Lee are amazing and very knowledgeable about place to go and things to see. The animals are all adorable, especially Moose the horse and the beautiful alpacas..I would highly recommend a stay here, you will not be disappointed, if we could have extended our stay we would have..We didn’t want to leave and have rebooked for next year

    Thank you Sue & Tony for such lovely feedback and looking forward to seeing you both again next year if not sooner! Take care from Lou & Lee Property Owner

  • "We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Lavender Cottage!"

    The cottage was well finished and thoughtfully designed, with ample space for us and everything we needed was there, including for our little pooch who had all his needs accommodated for also! Louise was brilliant and nothing was too much to ask. Learning the story behind Lavender Cottage and meeting the animals was super lovely also! The location is ideal for visiting the many beautiful spots around Cornwall. We loved our time staying here and will be sure to visit again in the future :)

    Hey Sam, Tom and of course the lovely Cooper thank you for a lovely review it means a lot, look forward to seeing you all again soon, Louise Property Owner
