Orchard Cottage

We stayed at Orchard Cottage for only a few days… but what a few days! The Cottage is a charming delightful place in a village full of charming places. Located in a secluded spot, it’s quiet enough for a noiseless night’s sleep while only 3 minutes walk to pubs, restaurants, bakeries, butcher and grocery store. The kitchen is fully equipped (the host put eggs, bacon, milk and jam in the fridge along with a loaf of crusty bakery bread) with all the necessary crockery and pots and pans. Plenty of tea and coffee too. WiFi worked great, flat panel TV, plenty of heat and hot water, we couldn’t have been happier. Everything is in walking distance, we walked to Penzance via the marine promenade, through Newlyn and around the shoreline. Penzance was decorated for Christmas, with a street fair in full swing. The host (Tiggy) was the most charming and helpful person we’ve encountered in many years of travel… she alone makes staying at the Cottage worthwhile. We will stay there again!
