The Cathedral City of Truro is in the heart of Cornwall and offers a wealth of facilities for the visitor. Dominated by the stunning cathedral, it is one of the south west's most attractive cities. Lemon Quay plays host to many events throughout the year including the Cornwall Food & Drink Festival in the Autumn and the famous Truro Fatstock Show just before Christmas.

We just want to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Lighthouse Cottage. The owners were kind and helpful (even offering to tumble dry our washing for us!) yet they were not all intrusive. The weather was mixed to put it mildly..but we really enjoyed ourselves. This group of cottages is so well located for touring Cornwall and yet tucked away in a quiet location. We have absolutely no grumbles whatsoever and in fact would love to go there again. Thank you also, your agency is very efficient.

We had a great holiday in Cornwall - the booking process was easy the location and comfort of Lighthouse Cottage was excellent and our 'hosts' were helpful and welcoming.

We had a great stay at the cottage. The property was very well supplied with materials, was very comfortable, and was ideally located for us to sally forth in all directions for our all-too-brief stay in Cornwall. John & Jill were excellent hosts.
