Fantastic cottage to stay in. Very well designed with lots of light. Really comfortable and with everything you need. The kitchen was really well equipped and the new shower in the bathroom was great. The garden is lovely with amazing views and wildlife. It's only about 10 minutes from Truro and not far from the coast so ideally located. We had a lovely relaxing time and hope to go back later in the year.
Family holiday in Cornwall
What a wonderful place for a relaxing break, Lavender cottage is situated at the end of a private drive and overlooks the valley towards Truro, where we saw deer crossing the fields first thing in the early morning mist and listened to the owls of evening. It is an idillic place to relax and unwind, within 15 minutes of the main shops in Truro and the nearest pub. It has been very tastefully converted and furnished, it is really well maintained and clean with all the facilities you could want for a holiday. We will definitely be going back later in the year as we’ve booked already.
