However, somebody had used the downstairs toilet and not cleaned it. The wardrobe in the master bedroom had two damp handtowels in the bottom of it, which smelt lovely. Far from ideal and given the supposed extra lengths that are being undertaken with the cleaning, as the checkout time is 9am instead of 10 to allow for this. It left us feeling concerned - what else isn’t being done properly. It would be fair to say that cleanliness was an issue with this property. One of the sofas moved during the week and rubbish, dust and toenails were found whilst moving it back. Hot water was an issue at times. The bed in the master bedroom was very uncomfortable and small, at 6ft, I found my feet hitting the foot of the bed during the night. The location was good for Maenporth beach and Swanpool. Parking was very close and the spaces are a good size. Parking around the park is an issue, staff seem to abandon their cars outside the bar/restaurant area which can be an issue with oncoming traffic.

- Mr Reed, August 2020

Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at Foxglove Cottage. We are very sorry to hear of the issues you raised after you left the property. Had we been notified during your stay we would have taken immediate action to remedy the issues raised. We have spoken with the owner and the housekeeper who will ensure the points mentioned will be addressed. There is a booster switch in the airing cupboard which would have given more hot water if needed. The double bed in the master bedroom is a standard 6ft 3', bed comfort is a personal preference and there has been no mention of this previously. Despite the points raised we hope you enjoyed your visit to The West Country. Owner relations
“It would be nice to have a washing machine and maybe more entertainment on site however I know covid restricts this at the moment.”

We have been before a couple of time however prior to Covid and feel a bit more for children to do would complete our tick list.

- Mrs Ford, August 2020

Thank you for your feedback following your recent stay at Foxglove Cottage. It was decided that as there are on site laundry facilities available for guests a dishwasher would be more beneficial than a washing machine within the property. Unfortunately the owner is not responsible for the onsite entertainment, however we will pass your comments onto the site manager. We hope to welcome you back to Foxglove Cottage in the future.

“Beautiful place, however not very clean, mould round the windows, under the beds were filthy.”

Hot water a bit of an issue, lack of. Swimming pool and hot tub out of action at the moment, playground wasn’t accessible till day 5 of our stay because it was having work done (not house owners fault but we paid expecting to be able to use all these facilities). lovely grounds. Beach definitely isn’t 15 minutes, took us a fast paced 40 minutes!

- Miss Clarke, July 2020

Thank you for your feedback. We are very sorry to hear of the cleanliness issues you raise, which are in stark contrast to many other positive reviews we’ve received for the property. A boost button is available in the airing cupboard to give extra hot water if needed. Unfortunatley due to the current situation with corona virus, the site management made the decision to keep the indoor pool and gym closed until Easter 2021, this is because the space is too small to allow allocated times for guests on site to use the facilities safely. Despite this we hope you enjoyed your stay and the exceptional weather! Owner relations

Great place for couples there is on site bar, laundrette, tennis court, small pool and jacuzi, Not suitable for small children or pets as none of the patios are enclosed, they all open onto gardens

- Miss Owen, August 2019
“It was a fantastic property and very well situated the owners should get a pat on the back”

- Mr Benson, June 2019
“Possibly mention the access road as it is probably the only element that makes the site tricky to stay in.”

I would also highlight the walk to the beach at Maenporth via the farmland as opposed to the road, a trickier route to navigate but probably safer in the long run. The accommodation was perfect for our needs.

“Beautiful location the park the cottage was located was very well maintained and definitely would book there again”

- Mrs Moakes, November 2018
“What a superb location.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our break and will return.

- Mrs Hunt, October 2018
“An amazing family holiday in a lovely location, the cottage had everything we could need and more.”

Time spent with the children playing board games, doing Halloween crafts and the children made new friends.

We loved Foxglove cottage , it really felt like home, everything we needed was there, even our Vizsla dog Copper was completely at home and a added bonus being on constant squirrel and rabbit watch

The property

Tucked in the corner, just along from the tennis courts, Foxglove is cleverly situated to admire the garden views.

Foxglove is beautifully presented and light and airy, with attractive open plan living space and French doors opening onto the gardens plus a double aspect corner providing plenty of view points.

The well equipped kitchen has ample work area and there are two bedrooms, a twin and a double both overlooking the gardens.

Equipped with comfortable terrace furniture it is a pleasant place to relax after a walk to the beach or a quick workout in the gym!

There is a parking space and visitor parking nearby.

Enjoying the warmth of the south west aspect of the village, Foxglove enjoys simple access to the paths and lanes leading to Maenporth Cove.

Walking to the beach from your cottage will take fifteen minutes or so, making it easy to leave the car behind for the day.

Foxglove guests wanting to enjoy a game of tennis are just a stone's throw away from the all weather courts and those wanting to avoid such strenuous activity will appreciate the secluded aspect of the terrace.

For those who have not ventured to the beach may enjoy a dip in the splash pool or free time in the gym.

Perhaps the best work out to be had is a circular walk from the cottage, down to Maenporth cove, up across the spectacular coast path toward Swanpool and then back up through the lanes to the village; roughly five miles but well worth the effort for those wanting to soak up the best that this special location has to offer. North Helford and Falmouth are perhaps the quintessential Cornish visitor destinations; a mix of beach, creek and woodland serve some of our most interesting and historic villages and towns.

Falmouth itself is home to the National Maritime Museum, visitors will enjoy an amble through the narrow streets and possibly a boat trip across the River Fal or up the River towards Truro.

The Cornish Cottage Holidays team is always on hand to advise you on the area and to help you plan your stay with us. The Village of Gardens, Pendra Loweth is a village of purpose built and privately owned self-catering holiday cottages.

Situated in the beautiful and peaceful valley leading down to Maenporth Beach, Falmouth.

With onsite facilities including tennis courts, children's outdoor play area and an indoor plunge pool (seasonal opening hours).
