About this property
Cuckoo's Cottage is a spacious cottage in the Village of Gardens holiday site, a village of purpose built and privately owned self-catering holiday cottages at Pendra Loweth near Falmouth. It is thoughtfully furnished, with a large open plan living space and French doors leading onto patio and shared gardens. The well equipped kitchen has ample work area and there are three bedrooms, a twin and two doubles. There is a patio and parking space in front of the house and visitor parking nearby. You will find Cuckoo's Cottage on the south side of the Village, set along the stream which runs the length of the grounds. Children can play Pooh Sticks on the ornate wooden bridge while you relax on your patio. Access to the South West coast path from Maenporth or Swanpool. Just a few minutes stroll to the central amenities, those who have not ventured to the beach may enjoy a dip in the Splash Pool, Jacuzzi or a work out in the Gym. Guests wanting to enjoy a game of tennis are just a stone's throw away from the all-weather courts whilst. Nearby Falmouth is home to the National Maritime Museum and visitors will enjoy an amble through the narrow streets lined with shops, galleries, restaurants and possibly a boat trip across the River Fal or up the Truro River. North Helford and Falmouth are perhaps the quintessential Cornish visitor destinations; a mix of beach, creek and woodland serve some of the most interesting and historic villages and towns. With onsite facilities including tennis courts, children's outdoor play area and an indoor plunge pool (seasonal opening hours), this is a great family destination.
Falmouth, with its magnificent natural harbour (the third largest in the world), winding streets and beaches, will keep you occupied for hours. The town's old harbourside pubs, excellent shopping, art gallery and stunning National Maritime Museum simply complete the picture. Pendennis Castle, built by Henry viii, is Falmouth's most popular attraction, sited on its own peninsula with superb panoramic sea views. Across from Falmouth harbour is the beautiful town of St Mawes, surrounded by the rocky coves, sandy beaches and lush green countryside of the Roseland Peninsula. Go there by car (15 miles) or take the passenger ferry from Falmouth (15 minutes).

We were very warm and cosy during a very wet and windy week! Everything was very neat and clean. We were pleased we had chosen to stay here - a lovely secluded spot. Thank you so much!

The only things to improve would be sofa cushions & a coffee table, but recommend.

This cottage chosen because of availability, price & dog friendly has a good layout within, generally well equipped and very comfortable. Thank you for the complimentary milk,tea,coffee,sugar&biscuits;. However, we did have a few niggles which we would like to bring to attention:- a)No WiFi Connection. This was an inconvenience when needing to access internet for local information, plus as mobile signal was also weak & fickle internet access would have enabled us to use email facility to contact family more easily. b) Over sink light in 1st floor bathroom didn't work ? c) Allocated car parking space seemed narrow. d) Kitchen Equipment LACKED the following:- i) Can opener that actually/successfully worked - those supplied not easy to use! ii)Good supply of teaspoons and dessert spoons (knives&forks; were plentiful). iii) Small milk saucepan for use when only small quantity of food/liquid required heating not suited to microwave. iv) Average 2-4 cup sized teapot - one supplied = too big for small brew. Glad we took our own! v) Average 1-pint measuring jug , plastic or pyrex. Again, glad we took our own. vi) Food Tongs. vii) Bottle of Washing Up Liquid - Not everyone wants to use a dishwasher. viii) Henry hoover brush head seemed well worn; either needed good clean or replacing. Hope these observations are useful without seeming too critical! We will certainly consider returning for a holiday on the Pendra Loweth site through Sykes Cottages.
