Retreat to the Cornish countryside with a stay at this quirky traditional cottage, set close to the village of Rilla Mill and just 7 miles from the market town of Liskeard. Sleeping six guests across three bedrooms, it’s the perfect base for families and groups of friends planning days of coast and country adventure together. Enjoy long rural walks from the doorstep and, on your return, stop by Rilla Mill (0.5 miles), where you’ll find a welcoming pub serving local ales and home-cooked meals. For more scenic walking, the dramatic landscapes of Bodmin Moor begin within 1.5 miles of the cottage. Liskeard offers plenty of shops and places to eat and drink, while other popular towns nearby include Callington and Launceston (both within 9.5 miles). From country to coast, popular seaside destinations nearby include Looe, Polperro, Polruan, Fowey and historic Charlestown (all within 24 miles).
Step through the cottage’s original door and into the welcoming lounge. Here, exposed beams, slate floors, low ceilings and an original bread oven reveal the property’s age and character. Sink into the comfortable seating to rest weary walking muscles, then flick through the Smart TV and bask in the glow of the wood burner during the chillier months. Head through the narrow doorway and down two stone steps into the dining room, a welcoming space that comfortably accommodates six diners. When it’s time to eat, head through to the stylish kitchen, where you’ll find everything needed to cook up Cornish feasts, along with a handy utility area and additional storage space. From here, steep cottage stairs lead to the first-floor landing, where there is a bathroom with a shower over the bath, three restful bedrooms, and a quiet reading nook up two further stairs. Choose from two double bedrooms, one with garden views and a twin room also overlooking the garden.
Outside, you’ll find a choice of spaces in which to relax. To the front, bistro-style seating catches the sun and provides the perfect spot for a quiet morning coffee. To the rear, a large enclosed garden is laid to lawn and ideal for lazy afternoons and al fresco evenings together, with a furnished patio for outdoor dining. There is one private parking space outside the property with further roadside parking available, making it easy to come and go on your Cornish adventures.
