Really nicely decorated and well appointed cottage in a quiet location. The rear garden is large, private, secure and well maintained, catching the sun in the afternoon.

Cottage was in a lovely and tranquil area, places to take the dog a walk or a long garden for her to play in. Would recommend this cottage for anyone. The area was quiet, yet all amenities were only a short distance away, beaches, restaurants or local pubs.

We loved our stay at Violet Cottage, it was clean, cosy, comfortable and well equipped. A great location for exploring the area and all it has to offer. Perfect for autumn/winter with the log burners really making it warm and cosy. Great garden for children or dogs, very quiet apart from the odd train. Definitely recommend.

This is a really nice cottage with a huge dog-friendly garden. The interior is beautifully decorated, and has a good set of kitchen equipment, including a cafetiere. There is a train line at the end of the garden, but while you can hear it from inside, it is not loud, is infrequent, and did not disturb us or our dog. Parking out front was good for Read moreus - the road is narrow in places, but there is comfortable space for parking and passing here. A great option in Par/St Blazey Hide
