Discover a quirky interior with superb attention to detail, a wonderful romantic retreat ideally positioned to explore all that Cornwall has to offer.

The central location of this property makes it a fantastic base for exploring the region, with something to see and do in every direction: from the secret coves and calm seas of the south coast including Falmouth and Helford, to the north coast surfing meccas of St Agnes, Perranporth, Chapel Porth, Porthtowan and Newquay. Take a day out at one of many National Trust properties including Trelissick Garden, or uncover the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project, all of which are within easy reach. Try your hand at crabbing on the pontoon at the infamous Pandora Inn or venture into the cathedral city of Truro with its many shops, restaurants and cafes to choose from.

There is also a dining table with seating for you to enjoy a lazy breakfast.

An excellent cottage in a very central location in Cornwall, an ideal location for us (2 humans and 1 dog) to plan day trips from, to the coast, to visit a mine or manor. Truro is a nice city and provides for grocery and other needs at a 10min drive. Because of the location the only thing that we somewhat missed was some outdoors seating space. TheRead more cottage has a well equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms, perfect! I We loved it and will certainly revisit when coming back to Cornwall!! Hide

Swallow's Roost is an ideal location for beaches, places of interest, and pleasant local pubs nearby offering a good dining experience. We chose it because it has a roll top bath in its own bathroom plus a shower ensuite in the bedroom, and 3 toilets. It is attractively decorated, with interesting features everywhere. It is full of character, with Read morenice high ceilings. We enjoyed our week at this tastefully converted chapel house. Hide

Better sound proofing in bedroom to reduce traffic noise! Provision of promised items?

Creatively designed chapel on a fast moving road with narrow drive. Fun stay with issues that could be easily fixed. Needs: newer hob, new pillows that aren't flat, better mattress that does not sag, recycling bins, better welcome folder, clean pans and baking tins, the knob on the shower that turns the water on is hard to turn on, proper clothes sRead moretorage (a few hangers on coat hooks and a low cupboard is not clothes storage), a fan in the airless bedroom as window cannot be opened for safety.

This property is unlike one we've ever seen before - it is really beautiful! We absolutely enjoyed our stay because of the chapel's comfort factor - the dishwasher and washing machine add another level of worry-free holidaying, and the king size bed was great! You are so central to so many lovely beaches too. Chapel Porth was a new discovery for usRead more, and we loved it there...it was only a 15 minute drive away! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!

Excellent location for exploring all parts of Cornwall. Felt at home immediately. Swallows Roost has a lovely style that ties in throughout from the front step to the fabulous bathrooms. A perfect Cornish couples retreat.
