Idyllic country retreat, ideal base to explore Cornwall

This beautiful cottage is one of three nestled in peaceful garden surrounds. It started life as a barn and retains many of its original features.

The two attractive bedrooms have rustic features which will delight as will the bathroom and ensuite shower-room. We have an EV charging point available by prior arrangement which provides a convenient and cost effective way to charge your electric vehicle. Details available on request.

Fantastic Country Retreat!
I booked this property on behalf of my parents for an Easter weekend away. Accommodation was spotless, warm and well-equipped. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming as were the furry friends in the barn! Overall, we had a fantastic time and hope to return soon!

Lovely cottage in easy reach of everywhere
Great cottage in a very rural and quiet location. Hosts onsite and ready and willing to help. 100% need a car and be confident driving Cornish lanes (think grass down the middle and good reversing skills!) This is the 2nd time we have stayed and its so convenient for the areas of Cornwall we love and so nice to come home to a warm and comfortable cottage.

Excelllent Accommodation
Very well designed interiors and facilities. Spotlessly clean and very welcoming. One small comment. Needs some low lighting in sitting room area as well as over head lighting. Would recommend to other travellers

A Wonderful week with Friends away
This is the first time we have used Vrbo and I was very pleased to see how easy it was. On this occasion I can say it was exactly as advertised. It was very clean, just as the photos show a beautiful cottage. The owners were on site if needed but left you in peace, just checking all was ok when you arrived. The welcome cream tea was lovely to find waiting on the side. It was nice to see the Donkeys and Goats and even feed them. The cottage was in a good position to visit most attractions about 25 mins from the coast either way. Thank you very much to the hosts Charmion and Charles for a wonderful week and we would defiantly Recommend you try this for your self. We may even revisit.

Peace and Tranquility
A fabulous place to stay out in the countryside. We based ourselves here and all villages in Cornwall are a drivable distance. It was perfect for our Port Isaac visit as we are huge Doc Martin fans. Charmion the owner was available 24/7 to answer any questions and make suggestions. She makes the best Scones in England! The house was spotless, very roomy, (bigger than we thought from the photos) and has everything we needed. We would highly recommend staying here.

A Snug in Deepest Cornwall
Away from the crowds in a very rural location but within easy (car) reach of local towns, the accommodation is first rate, spacious and very comfortable. The chorus of owls at night was amazing.
