Swallows Rest

Swallows Rest is a real find and ideal for a couple who want to get away from it all and in an great position with walks from the cottage. We were met by the owners who were really helpful and knowledgeable. The kitchen had everything needed for your self catering stay, the bed was really comfortable and the shower room delightful. We were very lucky with the weather and visited old haunts including Mousehole, Newlyn and St Just. One of the highlights of our stay was front row seats to see the Fisherman's Friends at the Minack! Loved our stay and will definitely be returning. ...

We spent 4 nights at Swallows Rest and it is a real gem in a really quiet location, although the owners are on hand should you need anything. The cottage had a very comfortable bed and sofa and lovely soft furnishings , as well as an excellent shower and really spacious shower room. We had excellent weather and were able to walk up to Sancreed Beacon, from Botallack to Levant Mine ( pick up a picnic from On The Square in St Just) and to Cape Cornwall and Priests Cove. There is an excellent farm shop at St Buryan, and other shops at St Buryan or St Just for everyday shopping. Ralph the dog said hello on arrival and Winston, the soft and friendly cat sat with us on the bench each evening basking in the sunshine. We will certainly be back to Swallows Rest in the future - l imagine it is really cosy in the colder months with the log burner....

A very enjoyable stay, and particularly enjoyed cycling from the house to Mousehole, Newlyn and Penzance and beyond. Narrow lanes, but they feel safe enough for cycling as everyone travels at a sensible speed. Lovely fish- food in Newlyn at the Tolcarne Inn. Lots to see and visit locally...

We spent a lovely week at Swallows Rest in June. The weather was perfect and we enjoyed the quiet location and the restful feel of the cottage. Great advantage having lovely walks from the door including Carn Brea, Carn Euny and Sancreed Beacon. Also close to Lamorna and the Merry Maidens and St Just great for shopping and pasties from the local butcher. Recommend a visit to the Jubilee Pool in Penzance and The Mexico Inn for good food. We would very much like to return....

Swallows Rest is a beautifully furnished cosy cottage, in a tranquil and peaceful setting deep in the Cornish countryside. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and the owner was friendly too. We have stayed at many Classic Cottages properties in Cornwall and this is one of our favourites to date. Highly recommended!...
