  • "We had such a lovely stay at Lavender Cottage."

    Lou and Lee are incredibly warm hosts — nothing was too much trouble and they made us feel really welcome. The cottage itself is beautifully built (by Lee!) and decorated, and the log burner and huge shower made for a really comfortable and relaxing stay. I’ve been staying in different places over the past few months whilst waiting for a house purchase to complete, and this has definitely been one of our very favourites. Its central location also makes it a great base for those on holiday to explore all of West Cornwall. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again — thank you both so much!

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback Lucy it was a pleasure to have you stay with us, and you are welcome back anytime! Good luck with the house purchase, take care Lou & Lee x Property Owner

    Lavender Cottage is a great place to stay in. All your hard work to create a cosy holiday home, has definitely paid off. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. You were both so very helpful whenever we needed it. A great suggestion to go to St Ives on the train from St Erth. We even had some good weather in February. Perfect. Lynne, Paul and Millie xx

  • "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

    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!
