For couples who seek a retreat of the wild kind, a stay in this unique cottage could be just the ticket. It’s perfect for exploring the Cornish countryside. Set off on an adventure on the Camel Trail (10 miles) and you’ll find yourself in wildlife-rich moorland and beside the rugged beauty of the coast on the traffic-free pathway of a former railway track.
This thoughtfully renovated barn is a blissful retreat where homely touches invite you in to take a seat and get cosy. The front door opens into the spacious living room, with two luxurious sofas and a large Smart TV for entertainment. Romantic evenings can be enjoyed by fixing a feast for two in the country-style kitchen to be eaten at the dining table. When you’re finished eating, take a few steps to the sofa situated beside the crackling wood burner and cuddle up beneath the exposed beams of the open-plan living area. Two lounge rooms mean you can pick a space that best suits your mood, or enjoy a little time to yourself with a good book on the sofa. Head upstairs to the first floor and you’ll find a place to rest your head in the king-size bedroom which features a vaulted ceiling, bright skylights and quirky matching furniture adding character. There is a quaint shower room situated in the mid section level with the kitchen/diner. To the front of the property is a private enclosed garden, ensuring that you needn’t leave your holiday home to enjoy the tranquillity of the location.
Choose to spend your days by the coast with the sandy shore of Looe just 10 miles away. Here, the vibrant harbour and quintessential seaside atmosphere charm all who visit. Delve deep into the woods in search of the spectacular cascades of Golitha Falls (7 miles) which descend over 90 metres along the River Fowey. The sights here are particularly spectacular in the spring, when woodland flowers cover the floor in a blanket of colour and attract rare wildlife to the area.
