  Very comfy and clean cottage with plenty of space for a couple.

  Big private garden area behind the cottage if weather is good. If you like beautiful rural retreats away from the hurly burly then this is perfect! Plenty of areas of interest a short drive away and the owners (very friendly and helpful) gave us lots of useful information including a handy local info sheet with names of good places for food and sightseeing etc. We stayed for a week, but left feeling we could have easily spent another week exploring and enjoying the local area. If you unfortunately needed to do any work while away be aware that wifi access is very limited inside the cottage - a blessing or a curse depending on your situation! Although the listing on Sykes was very accurate, and the information we received before the trip with regards key collection and directions etc was detailed and useful, we were not so happy with Syke customer service. It seems if you have any additional queries or issues ( for example our deposit took ages to go through and I didn't know if the booking was secure) they are impossible to contact by phone and don't replay to emails.

  The cottage is situated in the heart of the countryside with immediate access to fields and footpaths including the coastal path which we very much enjoyed exploring.

  The local town which includes a well stocked shop and two pubs, is about 20 mins walk via footpaths and small back roads recommended by the owner, rather than taking the main road. Swallows cottage is a haven of peace and tranquility with a beautiful garden and orchard area. The very spacious cottage is well equipped and has everything you need and wonderfully there is no wi-if and minimal phone signal so it is possible to really take a break from work and get away from it all. The owners are very friendly, welcoming and helpful and make themselves available if you need them but otherwise you feel as if you have the place to yourself. We enjoyed the week very much and will definitely return, thank you! :)

  We had a fabulous time at Magpie Cottage!

  David and Zena first welcomed our arrival with cups of tea in their farmhouse and suggestions of favourite places to visit. The cottage was absolutely delightful and spacious, from a beautifully appointed kitchen to an enormous and most comfortable bed! Flowers and chocolates were on the table for us to enjoy too. We made several excursions to Wells, Sherborne, Castle Cary and Frome finding farmers markets with lots of local produce and also an antiques and flea fair. Our spaniel Ruby loved the walks from the cottage and happily trotted up the path each day for her adventure. We were sorry to leave such a pretty place and hope to return again very soon.

  Excellent little cottage, it had everything we needed (although a non-slip bath mat would be good addition) and our little Welsh Terrier enjoyed exploring the large garden.

  There was only one drawback for us; the road into St Keverne can be dangerous to walk. There is a route through the fields, but that proved to be overgrown and a little arduous for two 69 year olds. The two pubs in St K serve lovely food and good beer, if that’s your choice and one has a take-away service if you’re feeling lazy. It’s an easy, pleasant drive to the tourist traps, although try to avoid Helston at rush hour. Do try Coverack, about 10 mins away. All in all, a lovely week spent with friendly people in beautiful countryside.

  We enjoyed our stay in the Swallows.

  It was a lovely cosy cottage and a great base to explore the surrounding area and beyond. The cottage is very secluded and we enjoyed the tranquillity and peace we needed, however St Keverne is in walking distance from the cottage. The only thing I would say to improve the comfort, we found the bed was quite uncomfortable as the mattress was too hard for us and also the shower needs replacing as the water came out as a trickle. This did not spoil our time away and we had a great week in beautiful Cornwall.
