The property
Pocket Cottage rests in the sleepy market town of St. Columb Major, surrounded by rich, Cornish countryside and with the whole of the north coastline waiting to be explored nearby.
This is the ideal holiday let for a small family of three, a couple or a group of friends looking to get away and tour a sought-after part of the country.
The exposed beams and stone walls add to the wonderful character of the cottage, allowing you to experience a cosy, home-from-home feel on return from one of the many walks to be had in the local area.
You have all the necessities required to cook up a home-made meal in the kitchen, and you can get together around the dining table to discuss the events from the day before unwinding on the sofa.
Climb the staircase at the end of a tiresome day and find a double room overlooking the front street, followed by a single room and well-appointed shower room.
This characterful abode comes with a private, off-road parking space and you have many useful amenities to hand within the town.
Enjoy a day trip to one of the sandy beaches, the zoo or sea life centre at Newquay, home to a fantastic surf scene, with the rolling waves crashing against the shores, creating a thriving, coastal atmosphere.
Browse the shops and dine at one of the many eateries before discovering all the delights of the South West Coast Path, which winds its way over dramatic cliffs and enjoys spectacular landscape scenery.
Find yourself swept away by all the wonders of the region with this charming base to return to at the end of each day.
