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.

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.

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!

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.

A thoroughly relaxing New Year break in wonderfully tranquil surroundings

We wanted a quiet and relaxing few days away after a hectic few months and we were not disappointed. The cottage was totally "snug" and the gardens were a real haven of tranquillity. The location was also fantastic and put us within an hours drive of most of the places we wanted to visit (St Ives, St Michael's Mount, Moushole, Lands End). The bottles left in the fridge by Louise and Matt were very much h appreciated (although we forgot about the croissants in the freezer!) If you are looking for a place where you can relax without having to try too hard, then this is the place for you.

Lovely space in a charming location - quiet and private with access to beautiful country walks

Although the weather was not so perfect I had a lovely stay at Matt and Louise's charming cottage. It is private although attached to the house and has access to the beautiful garden. It is a well thought out interior that is very cosy and has a super comfortable bed. Many thanks for an enjoyable break.

Idyllic holiday in beautiful countryside settings

Comfortable and well appointed cottage which was ideal for our short break. The rural setting was a delight and the owners have created a lovely garden setting which we were free to explore. The peace and tranquility was much appreciated and helped us to relax. The owners made us feel very welcome with nice touches such as fresh flowers and treats in the fridge! These were very much appreciated after a long journey. Having a car was very useful and there was plenty of parking at the cottage. We were able to walk out along country lanes to visit local pubs and had some delicious meals. We came home feeling relaxed and having benefited from our enjoyable stay. Thanks to Matt and Louise for sharing their lovely part of the world with us. David & Christine
