  • The perfect rural retreat for couples wanting to get out and explore
Property code: OC-89250

Rest and recharge in this cosy cottage on the beautiful Cornish countryside. With a roaring wood burner and a picturesque outdoor dining area, the property makes the perfect romantic retreat for you and your favourite human and hounds. The area is awash with dog walks, from woodland trails at Golitha Falls (6.5 miles) to coastal hikes along the South West Coast Path (9.5 miles). You’ll be within easy reach of some of Cornwall’s most-loved towns and villages, including Polperro (9.5 miles) and Fowey (15 miles).

This fabulously quirky cottage offers good living spaces and a cosy feel. Enter the cottage and into a splendid lounge with a Smart TV and a comfy sofa bed which can sleep two extra guests. Up some steps and you will find the wonderful open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner complete with cosy seating, wood burner and a well-equipped kitchen and dining area. Completing this floor is a shower room with WC. Take the stairs to the first floor, where you can find one king-size bedroom with Velux windows.p>

Journey to Lerryn (5 miles) for a relaxed afternoon on the banks of the River Fowey. Stride out with the pups to explore the riverside and woodland walks, before refuelling in the 16th-century pub. In Bodmin (10 miles), join the Camel Trail, which is a traffic-free path that winds through the Cornish countryside to Wadebridge or Wenfordbridge. This is a great route for senior hounds, who enjoy a flat, gentle stroll. On a hot day, Golitha Falls is a great choice. Wander amongst the ancient oak trees, marvelling at the magnificent waterfalls, before settling down for a sandwich and dog treat by the river.

A great cottage if you like to get away from it all but a perfect base for touring. Immaculately presented.

Best holiday cottage I've stayed at in Cornwall for years. Perfectly placed for excellent dog walking nearby & only 20 mins from our favourite beach. The courtyard has the shade from about midday onwards which was great for lounging around with a tired spaniel in this heat. Oh & i want that bed!!

We loved the cottage. Definitely need a car but so many different places accessible within a 15/20 min drive. Beaches (Seaton, Tregantle, Talland) supermarkets, inland walks (Deerpark Forest, Golitha Falls, Sibleyback Reservoir), villages (Polperro, Looe, Fowey on the ferry), Lanhydrock House and eating places (do lunch and breakfast at Inkies at GRead moreolitha Falls you won't regret it!) Cottage well equipped and comfortable. Lovely outside area, private on the front more communal on the back. Hide

I booked the cottage based on the 5 star reviews but sadly, can't give it 5 stars from us. The cottage was spacious but lacked the welcoming touches that we would expect for what we paid. I was looking forward to lighting the log burner and getting cosy but there were no logs, just instructions for where to buy them. Not what we had hoped for - mayRead morebe better in the summer.

Lovely clean house with all basic things we needed. Stunning countryside but have to have a car. Outside beautifully maintained and you can follow the sun around property sitting areas.
