This Grade II-listed former fisherman’s cottage in West Cornwall oozes character and charm with exposed stone walls, white-washed wooden furnishings and coastal-themed decor throughout. Set in a seaside village in the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, four guests and two canine companions can explore the surrounding hidden coves, scenic trails and historic attractions. In the evenings, relax by the wood burner, sink into the rolltop bath or dine alfresco in the courtyard garden.

Enter this stone-built cottage and find yourself in the bright dining room with tones of grey and white throughout. Beside the wood burner in a stone inglenook fireplace is a cosy window seat with wooden shutters, and opposite is a chic, half-painted wooden dining table. Continue through the property to reach a white and grey kitchen with a fitted ‘U’-shaped kitchen unit. Inside the lounge, a tripod wooden floor lamp, two sofas and a boho-style rug are surrounded by white-washed stone walls. Climb the cottage-style stairs to reach a family bathroom with a freestanding slipper bath and a separate shower, plus two bedrooms – a king-size with a love seat and an exposed granite wall and a super-king-size zip-and-link room. Outside you’ll find a small courtyard with furniture which is shared with neighbouring properties. Parking is available in the public car park (within 0.5 miles).
