This welcoming home-from-home is a fabulous base for adventures in this scenic part of Cornwall, set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and Special Scientific Interest. It is perfect for couples and small families alike. Head out for walks along the river or the coast path, spend days at the beach or go shopping in Truro, and then relax in your safely enclosed garden, enjoying the views or grilling something on the BBQ. There are two terraces from which you can admire the gorgeous cottage garden or the other where you can catch sight of the wildlife that inhabits the creek, such as deer, Kingfishers, Swans, Canadian Geese and nesting House Martins.

This charming, single-storey annexe (next to the owner’s home) is full of light and is tastefully decorated for a tranquil feel. In the comfortable lounge you’ll find plenty of seating and a Smart TV, while the adjacent conservatory/diner offers gorgeous views that you can relish while enjoying your meals or simply sitting back with a good book. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessities for easy holiday cooking, including a microwave and a dishwasher. At bedtime head through to either the king-size bedroom, which has its own Smart TV and direct access to the garden, or the pretty twin bedroom, where you’ll find ample storage. The rooms share a family bathroom. The outside space here is stunning, with rural views and sounds of birdsong. Mature trees and shrubs combine with well-tended planting, and the furnished patio – the ideal spot for a sundowner or al fresco meal – leads onto a generously sized lawn. There’s also an unfenced pond, so please take care of little ones and pets. You’ll also have off-road parking for two cars.

Explore the scenic (and less crowded) Roseland Peninsula, driving down narrow lanes to beautiful beaches such as Pendower (3 miles), Portloe (5 miles) or Portscatho (5.5 miles) or picking up produce from farm shops and stopping at picturesque pubs. The charming fishing village of St Mawes (8 miles), while if you fancy a change, the shops, art galleries and restaurants of Truro (12 miles) with it's spectacular Cathedral.

A very comfortable and spotlessly clean cottage ideally situated within a short car journey for beaches, cliff walks and places of interest.

We found the location ideal, very peaceful but can still easily reach different places we wanted to visit easily. Owner was great and very helpful. Property was well equipped and was very comfortable. Highly recommend the place. Stayed during Christmas and the property was also decorated.

I had a lovely stay here at this house. Wendy was a kind and warm-hearted host who catered for every need. She is very friendly, and it was nice to see her from time to time when I came and went. The doggies are super cute, too. I loved the peace and quiet of the area. The gardens surrounding the house are really gorgeous; some have a French walledRead more garden feel, and it was great that I could access a lot of the spaces outside. The house had everything I needed and lots of room. It was exceptionally clean and well cared for. There are lots of small roads around the area to navigate, but they are pretty quiet most of the time, so it was fine. There are beautiful landscapes all around, lots of geese too, and I heard owls. Wendy gave me some great recommendations for places to visit. Lots of lovely beaches are only ten mins drive away. Hide
