Embark on a romantic retreat to this charming bolthole which is beautiful inside and out, with quirky pieces of furniture and features found in each and every room. Pack a picnic and head off on an adventure with your loved one, with the walk from your doorstep to the gentle cascade of Golitha Falls (6 miles) surrounded by awe-inspiring scenery.
Once an old mining site, this property has been sympathetically updated retaining much of its original charm on the exterior. The living room is a warm and welcoming space with a lovely corner sofa for relaxing evenings cuddled up watching a film. This is part of the open-plan living/dining/kitchen area where you’ll find a dining table, a characterful kitchen and an electric fire for warmth in the winter months. Completing the floor is a wet room for convenience. Upstairs, the floor is dedicated to the spacious master bedroom with a comfortable king-size bed and an en-suite bathroom too. Just outside the back door is the private patio where you can sit and sip a morning coffee, whilst the surrounding area is the beautiful gardens of the owner, with a giant garden chess set which you’re welcome to play during your stay.
Pay a visit to National Trust Cotehele (9 miles) in the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and you can explore the Tudor house with its well-cared-for gardens and expansive estate. For a taste of the coast, take a trip south to Looe (13 miles). From here, you can get active with a walk along the South West Coast Path, or kick back and relax on the beach with fish and chips and an ice cream before heading to the arcades for some friendly competition. Plymouth (18 miles) is also well worth a visit, with excellent shopping and a wide range of eateries, as well as the National Marine Aquarium. Newly opened and very close to the property, is the beautifully restored Victorian birthplace of Emily Hobhouse. The Rectory, South African themed Restaurant and the immersive experience of the ‘War Rooms’ offer a fascinating insight into this historical figure. ‘The Story of Emily’ is sure to become one of the most popular visitor attractions in Cornwall.
