    “This cottage was everything we ...”
    This cottage was everything we could wish for and more! Sheila and Peter provide everything, and the cottage far exceeded expectations. It was idyllic, admittedly not for everyone because of remote location, but for us it was perfect! Many thanks. Mandy and Mick

Higher Penhole Farm Cottages

East Taphouse 1.5 miles. As you drive along the private road leading to Higher Penhole Farm, Wagtail Cottage and Poldark Cottage, you can't fail to be taken by the far reaching countryside views. These two superb semi-detached barn conversions are set within a small cluster of cottages, in rural farmland near East Taphouse, midway between South Cornwall’s stunning coast and moorland. Located in a quiet courtyard setting and surrounded by plenty of open space, lush meadows and wildlife, these two cottages provide an ideal base to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With the accommodation all on the ground floor, these beautiful cottages combine open beams with modern and character furnishings to create a superbly presented holiday home for couples, families and friends. Each of the cottages offer a lawned garden for soaking up the sun's rays, and children will love the communal grounds with swings, which surround the group of cottages, from where you may be lucky enough to spot rabbits and deer. These two delightful cottages are located just a short drive from Cornwall’s south coast with its popular fishing and sailing villages of Fowey, Looe and pretty Polperro, plus endless choice of beaches.

About the location

EAST TAPHOUSE

Liskeard 5 miles; Polperro 9 miles; Looe 9 miles.

The small village of East Taphouse is located on the A390 in the heart of the beautiful Cornish countryside, perfectly situated for exploring all that Cornwall and Devon have to offer. Located between the historic market towns of Liskeard to the east and the ancient stannary town of Lostwithiel to the west, there is also easy access to the picturesque old fishing ports of Looe, Polperro and Fowey and many spectacular sandy beaches and coves on the South Coast, whilst the rugged and dramatic Bodmin Moor is just 10 minutes to the north. Close by is the Eden Project along with the magnificent Lost Gardens of Heligan and many National Trust properties such as Lanhydrock and Cothele. Bodmin steam railway and the tall ship harbour at Charlestown are also nearby and well worth a visit. Further afield, Plymouth is only a 30-minute drive away as is the windswept northern coastline, with Padstow, Newquay, Tintagel and anywhere from Dartmoor to Land's End all accessible for an enjoyable day out.
