The cottage has been stylishly renovated with a light and airy open plan feel with many sky lights and different levels giving it a distinctive and original feel. The many hand made features include the unusual woodburner and fireplace, hand-made tiled worktops and natural rose coloured slate floor in the kitchen, wooden shutters on the bedroom windows and hand-crafted woodwork throughout.

The sunny conservatory / dining room is set at lawn level and is surrounded by the beautiful raised garden and curved deck full of subtropical plants, flowers and fruit trees. The garden faces both South and East and looks down over the harbour. It is a magical place to lie in a hammock under the tree canopy on the deck, to have breakfast on a sunny morning, looking down over the sea, or to enjoy dinner at the garden table surrounded by Jasmine and Passion flowers.

It has two good sized bedrooms (one with a double bed and one with two singles), and comfortably accommodates four people. Both bedrooms look out over the garden and sea beyond.

The architect-designed bathroom is set on a mezzanine level and is light and airy with access directly onto the garden. The gas central heating (modern underfloor heating under the maple floor downstairs including in the conservatory, and radiators upstairs in the bedrooms and bathroom) makes the cottage a warm and welcoming environment whatever the time of year.

There is a pretty slate-roofed shed in the garden for storing beach gear, surfboards etc. Some beach items, an outdoor table, chairs, a hammock and BBQ are provided. The Cottage contains a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, TV, DVD with CD player and radio, a selection of DVD’s and books, and a hairdryer. There is also a travel cot and a baby bath if requested. Tea, coffee, milk, biscuits, fresh flowers and details of where to park will be at the Cottage when you arrive.

Gas and electricity are included in the rental.

Duvets and pillows are provided for all beds, however guests are required to bring their own bed linen and towels. There is the option to book Bed linen if requested on the booking form though at £12 per person.

Bookings are from Friday to Friday (except in winter) in order to avoid the long traffic queues coming into Cornwall on a Saturday.

The cottage can be occupied from 3pm on day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on day of departure.

We do not allow pets or smoking within the property.
