Boasting characterful exposed beams, a warming woodburning stove, countryside views and a pet-friendly setting, this charming retreat is ideal for couples seeking a peaceful escape whilst remaining within easy reach of Cornwall's stunning south coast.

Upon arrival, make use of the designated off-road parking before taking in the tranquil rural surroundings.

To the front, a gravelled seating area with a picnic bench provides the perfect spot for morning coffee whilst enjoying far-reaching views across open fields.

The enclosed courtyard offers a private area for alfresco dining, while an additional seating area enjoys views across a wooded valley towards an ancient deer park.

Opposite the cottage, guests will also find a field ideal for exercising their four-legged companions.
