Charming former coach house in an idyllic woodland garden, 300m from St Kew Inn.

A very comfortable 2 bedroom cottage, the front bedroom with a 5ft double bed, the rear with twin 3ft singles. It has a stylish bathroom with underfloor heating, and a bath with shower over. The living/dining room has dining table and chairs in addition to a large leather sofa, underfloor heating and Smart TV. French doors lead from here onto a large south-facing granite paved terrace with teak benches and slate table. The well furnished kitchen has an electric Aga, which keeps it comfortably cosy throughout the year, a breakfast bar with stools, a dishwasher, and plenty of storage space. The property also has a washer/dryer and free high speed wi-fi broadband.

Super garden; extensive woodland, streams, ponds, lawns and shrubberies, 3 acres in extent. Tables and chairs provide sitting areas in various parts of the garden. The property lies at the end of a 100m drive which provides privacy and security.

The St Kew Inn, just 300m away, is a truly atmospheric traditional country pub and provides excellent food.

The dramatic North Cornwall coast is easily accessible; Port Isaac just 3 miles, Polzeath and Rock just 6 miles. Many miles of National Trust coastline provide spectacular walking. Great surfing beaches, sheltered coves, and the stunning Camel estuary offer something for everyone: swimming, surfing, sailboarding, kitesurfing, sailing, kayaking, rowing, boat trips, etc.

There is great walking on Bodmin Moor, extensive cycle trails (Cardinham woods, Lanhydrock and the very popular Camel Trail) and many and various visitor attractions. The Eden project is a must and only 18 miles away.

Cottage with character
Excellent location to explore the south west of Cornwall. Homely cottage. Just right for 2 people. Lovely to have the St Kew Inn just 300 yards away. Very popular so bookings essential. Do try the moules. They were delicious.

Cosy little cottage
We had a lovely stay at this cottage. Very clean and the perfect size for me and my husband and our 5yr old. Perfect base to explore what Cornwall has to offer. This was a very last minute booking so we're lucky to have found it! Very happy with our stay.

Coachman's Cottage - September 2021
Lovely cottage located in a fantastic garden - very peaceful and private. Indoors the cottage is maintained to a high standard and is even more comfortable than the pictures suggest. Everything we needed for our stay was readily available. As newcomers to Aga cooking we rose to the challenge and successfully cooked a few meals on it! St Kew itself is well located near to main roads allowing for easy trips around the coast or South to Bodmin / St Austell - plenty of interest within 30 minutes drives!
