"The cottage was just the job for two people. Comfortable, reasonably equipped and roomy enough. The place was spotless and the mattress was firm which suited us. The shower was adequate but was tricky to get right and not very powerful. The hotel it is attached to was quite old fashioned which you will either like or not. We didn’t eat there so cannot comment on the food. The surrounding grounds were lovely. The location is quite a bit out of Falmouth but a taxi is less than a tenner and there is a bus 5 minutes walk away. Also 15 minutes away is a great pub. Good food, busy and very friendly. A shop too so what more do you need?This is a good place and I recommend it. If you’re into dogs you can bring them. If you’re not then the slight doggy smell might be slightly off putting. But it went over a couple of days (or we got used to it) so not a show stopper. The price is ok. You get what you pay for and I’d happily repeat the experience. We had a lovely time. Hope this review helps."

"We had a lovely holiday using the appartment as a base. It was reasonably comfortable. On first glance it was fine but we were quite disappointed initially with the cleanliness. It felt rather like someone was living there and had just gone out. There was washing up left in the drainer, food in the fridge and freezer and some gym clothes in the bottom of a wardrobe. It wasn't very well equipped - only one wine glass, and nothing to use in the oven except the grill pan. There was no plug in the bathroom sink ( or in the kitchen, but there was a bowl). There was little in the way of instructions, though towards the end of the week we found a few things in a sliding cupboard which wasn't immediately obvious. The TV in the bedroom (in the photographs) must have fallen off the wall and done some damage so the fittings had been draped with a scarf. I appreciate there may not have been time to fix this but it didn't look good."

"The location and building is fantastic. Steeped in history, beautiful surroundings and so close to the coastline.The accommodation itself would be more comfortable if it was cleaned more thoroughly.Also practical information would be beneficial such as what to do with the rubbish bags, is there anywhere to recycle? and instructions for all electrical items.Also the main huge downstairs windows have net curtains but no actual curtains allowing anyone to see in from outside in the evening.We all thoroughly enjoyed our time there and with a few minor changes it would be absolutely perfect."

"A superb cottage in fantastic gardens and only 5 minute walk to the harbour and cafe, through the churchyard. A supermarket was only 10/15 minute drive away via Flushing and Penryn so lack of local shop was not a problem. Cornwall has fantastic Gardens to visit and these were easily reached from the cottage. The cottage gave us privacy with your own garden seating area, ideal for relaxing with a drink before bedtime. We were very happy we found Lawithick Barn and will be recommending it to our family and friends and hope to return next year.Bill and Sue"

"We enjoyed an excellent stay in Swanpool. Oysters is a brilliant location - we have family who live nearby so it was a perfect location for us.The flat itself was impeccably clean and had everything you could possibly need.The balcony and garden provide some lovely outdoor space but within a 5 minute walk you have the lake and Swanpool beach a stone’s throw away.A choice of supermarkets are within a 10-15 minute drive. Would highly recommend Oysters - its owners are also very friendly and we look forward to returning very soon."
