Quaint English aesthetics and charming country decor make this cottage an enviable escape in South Cornwall. Located on a 50-acre farm close to Pelynt (2 miles), it’s just a short drive from the coastal destinations of Looe (5.5 miles) and Polperro (5 miles). The cottage enjoys the peace and serenity of its rural setting, with some of Cornwall’s finest sights and attractions nearby. Family friendly and dog welcoming, the property comfortably hosts four guests and two pups. The large, enclosed garden is perfect for pets and children to play in on a warm summer’s day.

Whitewashed stone walls, original beams and wooden panelling enhance the authentic farmhouse charm of this cosy cottage. Step into the sociable lounge/kitchen/diner, where a wood burner is tucked into the corner, and French doors lead directly out to the generous garden. Bright and cheerful, the lawned garden is furnished and provides a relaxing space to unwind or play in the sunshine. There’s also private parking for two cars just outside. Back indoors, a downstairs bathroom is located next to the characterful staircase. Upstairs, a king-size bedroom and a child-friendly bunk bedroom provide a restful night’s sleep, with plenty of space to relax and recharge.

Surrounded by mystical woodland with enchanting trails and a picturesque lake, the countryside around the property is perfect for exploring. Set off on a hike to the Duloe Stone Circle (3 miles), a unique formation of twinkling quartz stones, or enjoy a family day out at the nearby Porfell Wildlife Park & Sanctuary (3 miles). In the fishing village of Polperro, discover the area’s smuggling history, explore hidden coves along the breathtaking South West Coast Path, or sit and sip a drink by the immaculate harbour.

Lovely and quiet. Cottage and garden. No milk, cake or biscuits upon arrival which is normally supplied at most holiday cottages. Hoover no good and no dust pan and brush. Bed mattress has a hump in the middle and seating no the most comfortable.

Cottage was lovely & peaceful cosy & at night was lovely outside star gazing. Just what we needed to recharge our batteries. Good location for places to explore. Felt like I was in the middle of nowhere which I enjoyed as much as my dog did. She loved gardens.

The cottage is lovely! Very cute, very cosy, very clean and generally well equipped! The roads to get to it are single track so be warned, meeting oncoming traffic means someone has to reverse to find a place where you can pass each other.

Cottage in a lovely location. The only slight problem is reaching it by car. The lanes are all very narrow and single track. Meeting other cars during the week coming the other way could be difficult with quite a lot of reversing involved.

A lovely peaceful location. We really enjoyed our stay. Our dog enjoyed being able to wander out into the two secure grass garden areas.
