Description

Little Pippin is a chic and contemporary coastal retreat in Carlyon Bay, St Austell.

This stylish semi-detached dwelling next to the owner’s home is set down a private driveway and boasts off-street parking.

The accommodation is set over two floors with a sleep-inducing bedroom for two guests.

On the ground floor is the entrance hallway with storage, smart cloakroom and bright open-plan living room with modern kitchen including breakfast bar and all the appliances, plus comfy seating and patio doors leading out to the attractive garden.

The paved patio and shared lawn with quality rattan garden furniture for alfresco dining is a sunshiny south-facing spot perfect for relaxation.

Little Pippin makes a delightful rendezvous bolthole, stylishly designed for couples looking to enjoy the attractions of Carlyon Bay.

The shoreline beckons for romantic rambles, swims and paddles.

Explore the cliff top path showcasing stunning seascapes.

Charlestown, famed for TV's Poldark, is home to Tall Ships, rustic inns and galleries, gift shops and eateries - a firm favourite!

The charismatic resort of Fowey is seven miles away with popular Regatta Week.

The harbour is pretty; hire a boat and discover the hidden creeks, take a pleasure boat trip or fishing excursion.

The water taxi to Polruan and Mevagissey makes a fun jaunt and the Bodinnick car ferry lands at Looe and Polperro – lunch aside the quay in this Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Play golf at one of the three local courses.

Visit The Eden Project with remarkable bio-domes of flora and fauna, just a 10-minute drive away.

After a day in the Cornish air, Little Pippin is a superb choice to return to - relax in the garden with a barbecue nibble and glass of fizz.

Little Pipping is a comfortable stay, ideal for two people.

It is well located for walking, visiting local attractions, and enjoying good food. We were aware that the railway is nearby, but there was no significant noise as the house is well insulated. Even with the windows open, the occasional train was not intrusive and did not detract from our stay. There were three minor maintenance issues which proved a little troublesome, but they did not affect the overall quality of our stay. These have been discussed directly with the owner, who intends to carry out the necessary repairs during the winter season. That said, we would definitely revisit and would have no hesitation in recommending Little Pipping to others looking for a comfortable and well-situated base from which to explore the area.

It is my second visit to Little Pippin, and I really enjoyed my time there.

It has everything you need for a really enjoyable holiday. The owners are right next door and always very helpful. I have already booked for next year and am already looking forward to visiting Little Pippin again.

Stayed here twice now and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves each time.

Great location for many attractions; very peaceful and relaxing. The accommodation has everything you need and is very comfortable with the added bonus of access to the owners' lovely garden. Hope to head back soon!
