Violet Cottage is charming and extremely well placed for seeing the surrounding areas and attractions. The garden is beautiful and our little dog really loved having the space to run free. Very well equiped and tastefully decorated - we will definitely be visiting again.

A nicely appointed cottage in a good location for exploring the South Coast. The large garden is a bonus and much enjoyed by our Yorkie. We appreciated being able to arrive before 5pm . The shower room is excellent. The lounge comfortable and nicely furnished. Do be aware that the stairs are very steep and a barrier at the bottom would be useful toRead more prevent children or dogs putting themselves in harms way. Lots of great places to visit within easy reach. Hide

We had a lovely week in Violet Cottage. We didn't have the best weather during our stay but the boys did make use of the lovely garden, as did our dog. On the drizzly days we ventured up to the Luxulyan Valley following the footpath by the railway crossing near the cottage. We also walked to Par beach along the cycle trail, then along the Coastal pRead moreath to Polkerris beach. We used the cottage as a base to explore the Roseland Peninsula and enjoyed St Anthony's Head, Thirstea Cofe and Towan beach Hide

The garden is lovely, house spotless & well appointed. If you're not good with steep stairs, this cottage might not be for you! No welcome pack (except what previous visitors have left.) WiFi more miss than hit. Netflix on tele wouldn't load & tele reception interesting. We could not alter heating settings, so unless we lit a fire, found the cottagRead moree to be chilly at times. Close to main A390, so excellent to get to attractions. Good local Indian takeaway/restaurant. Hide

Barnaby loved the very large garden to run around in and nearly came face to face with a deer. We all loved the modern bathroom.

Second year we have stayed at Violet Cottage. The first year was fantastic. This year it was even better, with the new extra touches. The new walk in shower/ wet room was fab..and the new doors and windows are a nice touch. Will be back again next year or possibly the year after. Thanks again 5***** for everything
