Romantic Riverside Cottage by the beach with Hot Tub, Sauna & Log Burner - Former Art Studio of Samu

In the lush valley of Lamorna, a tumbling stream makes its way to the sea through a dense tangle of twisted trees and stunning wildlife. Hidden away in the trees, you will meet our beautiful and sympathetically restored romantic hideaway; Birch Studio

Sat on the pools of the stream, the gentle trickle of water and splash of brown trout wash away any remnants of city living. Inside an abundance of natural light and earthy colours combine to create a calming self-catering escape in this quaint little village.

Former home to famous artist; Samuel John Lamorna Birch, RA RWS (1869 – 1955) you can still find his oil paint dabbed around the original oak door frame.

After a day exploring the the Cornish coast, retreat to the hot tub and sauna and spend an hour or two watching Kingfishers dip around the stream, glass of wine perched on the side, before hunkering down on the sofa, the world darkening outside

Although immersed in privacy and soaring trees, you are within easy reach of the beach, and local pub (The Wink) which are only a 2 minute stroll away. The nearby picturesque fishing towns of Mousehole, and Newlyn are only 5 minutes away by car.

When a need for an escape comes calling, this reclaimed self-catering Artist’s hideout is the peaceful retreat you've been searching for.



(Sleeping a maximum of 4 guests, with one King Size bed in the bedroom, and one small sofa bed in the living area. There is also a mezzanine floor with a relaxing area to read a book)

Note - This property is very petite, with the lounge/diner/kitchen all in one room, and the shower and washing facilities in the bedroom.)
