  • The perfect bolthole for walkers and couples looking to explore Cornwall
Property code: OC-83852

Situated off the beaten track at the northern end of Cornwall’s Roseland Heritage Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this exquisite barn conversion offers an ideal retreat for couples. Nestled amongst lush green countryside and only 1.5 miles from the coast, you can enjoy windswept walks along the South West Coast Path, lazy days on the beach or day trips to nearby fishing towns/villages. Of an evening, immerse yourselves in the rural tranquillity or head into nearby Porthpean (1.5 miles) or Charlestown (2 miles) for a bite to eat.

Beautifully decorated in a traditional country-cottage style, you’ll find it easy to unwind and feel at home in this spacious property. On entering, head into the bright and airy lounge where an exposed stone wall adds character whilst a wood burner creates a cosy atmosphere. On summer days, open up the patio doors and let the fresh air and sounds of the countryside flood your senses. The kitchen/diner is well-equipped with the vaulted ceiling adding to the sense of space. Completing the accommodation is a large shower room and a charming double bedroom. Outside, enjoy a spot of al fresco dining on the patio.

Cornwall is known for its sandy beaches and you’ll be spoilt for choice here, with Porthpean, Charlestown and Pentewan all within 4 miles. If you’re keen walkers, they are all connected by the South West Coast Path, which offers another perspective of the stunning rugged coastline. Heading east, the popular harbour town of Fowey (10 miles) has a range of shops and eateries on offer, as does Mevagissey (5.5 miles) to the south. For an interesting day out amongst beautiful surroundings, why not visit the Lost Gardens of Heligan (6 miles) or the Eden Project (6 miles).

Karen, our host was on hand to welcome us to what is an amazing and spacious cottage for two. It is very well and comfortably furnished and has everything we needed. The private dedicated garden is large, secluded and not overlooked, a lovely place to relax. A great pace to stay!

We simply loved the location, the peace and quiet; and the accommodation. We were made most welcome by Karen, and our holiday was enhanced by this. We hope to return soon and found it central to visiting wherever else we wanted to travel to. Simply lovely!

Cowslip is a beautiful cottage in a tranquil location down a fairly long unmade track, well away from all other traffic, on a working farm. The friendly and helpful owner lives next door and is there if any problems arise but doesn't intrude. The garden is completely private with sunbeds and outdoor seating provided for when the weather is suitableRead more.. The cottage itself is spotless and has good quality furnishings, crockery and cutlery, etc. It suited us perfectly. Hide

Quiet, peaceful and natural surrounding on the home farm plot. A warm, friendly welcome and great local information given to us by the owner. A short walk to a good beach, close to local shops and near a good road for exploring Cornwall. A hidden treasure.
