Joan
The cottage was everything we had hoped for, well equipped and immaculate as are the garden and outside space. The beautiful Cornish coasts, north and south and many other places of interest are within easy reach and there is a pub serving good food two miles away. Julie and Neil work very hard to make sure every guest's holiday experience is a happy one and nothing is too much trouble.

The cottage met all our expectations in cleanliness and we wanted for nothing. The cream tea on arrival was most welcome. Our dog also enjoyed her holiday as she had a lovely big garden to run around in. We would definitely recommend Lavender Cottage for those people who want a quiet and relaxing break or for families who want a safe haven for their children as the garden can offer them plenty of âplay timeâ in a safe environment. They can also enjoy the wildlife that continually frequents the garden, including a fox I saw one morning.

The cottage has everything we needed and so much more. Julie and Neil made us all feel so welcome, including our dog with the extra bits like bed for her and towels. We would highly recommend Badgers Sett to anyone and hope to return some day.
