Beautiful cottage , well.presented with lovely touches , hosts warm and very welcoming went above and beyond to make our stay special . Situated in a lovely quiet location with stunning views. We had a wonderful holiday here .
We had a wonderful stay. The cottage is the perfect size for a family with a lovely private garden. We loved the area - beautiful scenery and not busy even in the middle of summer. Great beaches close by and the owners were incredibly welcoming and helpful.
Beautiful country cottage clean, very cosy and comfortable, had everything we needed to make our stay an even more enjoyable experience .
We highly recommend to friends and hope to be back.
We really loved Myrtle Cottage which was comfortable with loads of country character. Our hosts went the extra mile to make us feel truly welcome. The area has so many wonderful places to explore, that a week isn’t long enough. I hope to be back at Myrtle Cottage soon.
We had a wonderful week in Myrtle Cottage. Maurice and Barbara were great hosts. Gave us some good local advice on places to go. They were very friendly and hospitable.
The cottage was ideally situated for exploring the Lizard Peninsula. We would highly recommend and would love to return.

Charming and comfortable cottage in beautiful location!
We have just returned after spending a week in this beautiful and comfortable cottage! The cottage has everything that one could wish for in a wonderful location! There were fresh flowers in every room, fresh eggs and some delicious home made cakes waiting for us! Myrtle cottage is delightful and we really hope to return sometime in the future!
Blissful little cottage in a very lovely area. Beautiful sheltered garden to get the evening sun. Very friendly local pub serving great food. What more do you need?
Beautiful attention to detail in the thatched cottage. Caring, thoughtful hosts. The best ever. Really looked after us. Tranquil. Stunning area in which to run, swim, walk, drink and eat. Everything on your doorstep.

Hidden Gem
This cottage is just a hidden gem, I came across it on the internet and found the most wonderful cottage you could imagine. The owners were such nice and genuine people you could wish to meet, helpful and informative about the area. This cottage is ideal for all ages from people who just want to relax to those who want to explore the area.
The welcome pack we got was out of this world with cake, eggs, milk and strawberries . We couldn't have picked a better place to visit, and Yes we will be back.

Séjour paisible dans cette charmante chaumière du Lizard
Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine dans cette superbe region des Cornouailles.
La maison est confortable, très bien équipée et possède un charme fou, avec son petit jardin attenant. Nos hôtes ont été tout aussi charmants et sympathiques. ecconviviauconviviaux!e!savent
The cottage was just right for us and the garden a bonus - we were lucky with the weather.
Wonderful hosts who were interesting to talk to and easily contactable if needed. We were delighted to find lots of free range eggs and tomatoes left for us when we arrived plus a delicious cake. We enjoyed meeting the happy looking hens and seeing where the produce was grown. We had a super stay...
Wonderful relaxing calm perfect hosts friendly kind and nothing is too much trouble
Loved our stay the cottage, the garden, enjoyed the cows over the garden wall and chickens too, it was lovely to “BE” in the countryside of Cornwall.
Close enough to get to many beautiful places if wanted to leave the peacefulness of the cottage garden.
The hosts were really special people who were willing to share their “Good Life” with us - including buckets and spades.
Rooms were spacious all lovely, some lovely nooks and crannies and interesting books to look at too - time allowing.
We will definitely be going back to enjoy more freshly grown tomatoes, cucumber, delicious blackcurrant jam and chocolate cup cakes - oh and fresh eggs from the 6 girls (chickens).
Thank you so much Mo and Barbara- Sue Isabella, Diego and Siarah xxxx
