Finest Retreats | Swallow Cottage

Swallow Cottage is a pet-friendly, Grade II listed cottage ideally suited for all of Cornwall's attractions and is set in the quiet village of Sticker. The cottage has two bedrooms, sleeping three people and is only a short walk away from the local pub and shop.

The cosy and characterful accommodation is all on the ground floor (only two steps up to the main entrance) and has all the amenities required for a self-catering stay. There is dedicated high-speed fibre broadband should anybody need to access the internet while staying and for small children a travel cot, high chair, bed guard, and changing mat can be provided.

There is free, off-road parking for one car at Swallow Cottage and there is additional parking 50 metres away in the village car park for a second. For guests bringing bikes and surfboards etc there is storage space available. The garden is shared with the next door property and provides a lovely place to sit out during the summer months.

The local village shop sells a range of fresh vegetables, bread, pasties and wine and is also a post office. For more services there are several larger Supermarkets and shops less than 10 minutes drive (in St Austell).

Guests are spoiled for choice with many local attractions and beaches well worth a visit. The area is incredibly popular all-year round with Mevagissey, The Roseland and Charlestown all being worth a trip and are less than 15 minutes’ drive. Tourist attractions within equally easy reach include the Lost Gardens of Heligan and The Eden Project.

An absolute delight
Swallow Cottage was perfect for our needs. The property is small but has everything you could need for a restful and relaxing stay in your home-from-home. The location is ideal for access to major routes allowing you to explore the beautiful Cornish countryside. Thoroughly recommended.

Wonderful stay. Wonderful hosts. Great location.
When our hostess arrived with a fresh sprig of rosemary for our 'yay, we arrived' gin and tonic, we knew we'd have a nice time.

Lovely owners, a beautiful cottage in a great location.
Steve and Sue were excellent, friendly hosts who really couldn't do enough to make sure we had everything we needed. The cottage was roomier than expected and well equipped. Couldn't have asked for more.

Scones zur Begrüßung
Nach anfänglichen Schwierigkeiten, das Cottage zu finden, wurden wir mit frischen, selbst gebackenen Scone, Marmelade und Cornish clotted Cream begrüßt. Die Eigentümer sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Der Hauptraum besteht aus der super ausgestatteten Küche, einem Esstisch sowie einem Sofa mit TV. Daran angrenzend liegt das Schlafzimmer mit großem Bett. Außerdem ist ein kleines Schlafzimmer vorhanden. Im Bad sind neben dem WC, Dusche und Waschbecken auch eine Waschmaschine vorhanden. Der Garten konnte mitbenutzt werden. Fußläufig liegt ein echt schöner Pub mit guter Küche. Unsere Ausflugstipps: Portloe, Trewithin Garden, Carne Beach. Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt im Swallow Cottage.
