About this property

East Taphouse 2 miles. This extremely spacious cottage is set on a small farm complex of barn conversions, close to the village of East Taphouse. A wonderful cottage for relaxing both inside and outside in a peaceful location and is ideal for families and friends to get away from it all. After driving down the private lane past the farm, you enter the cottage and you will immediately notice the airy feel whilst the children will be drawn to the full-size pool table in the sitting room, together with a woodburner, where you can gather if the weather is a bit cold. There is a table in the large well-equipped kitchen for breakfast and also a dining table in the sitting room for more formal meals. There are three comfortable bedrooms, a king-size double with en-suite facilities on the ground floor, together with a king-size double and a children’s bunk room with additional single bed on the first floor. Outside this delightful cottage, you can enjoy dining alfresco on the superb enclosed private terrace, which is accessed from the sitting room. Drive back up the lane and you are on the way to a choice of Looe or Polperro, both about the same distance away. A day could easily be spent in each of these historic old fishing ports, but being so close by, a day trip combining the two is easily possible. Both have their individual charm and both offer a wide choice of excellent pubs, restaurants and take-away food. With easy access to many other leading tourist attractions in Cornwall, combined with such ideal family accommodation, a stay at this lovely cottage will be a delight at any time of year.

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.

    The first thing we saw was a bowl underneath the pool table and a note in the table explaining a leaky roof hence the bowl. We also understand that there would be cobwebs in the roof as it is a barn but there were big cobwebs on the windows. There was black tape over the light switch by the back door and tape on the kitchen sink. We also accept that due to it being on a farm there would be flies, but in the upstairs bathroom there were quite a few dead ones in the windowsill. We also found a glass under one of the single beds along with dust bunnies. My dog’s ball had rolled behind the corner cupboard this ment we had to get behind it and the back was full of dead flies, meaning that the house had not been cleaned properly. Also the last time we arrived, we were aware that we only had a starter pack of wood for the burner and we would have to buy more, but we had one log and that was it. This house is a beautiful house and we loved it the first time around, but this time we were very disappointed.

    Great big living room, and having two dining tables was great for playing games at one and eating at the other! Three sofas meant enough space for us all to chill out together. Great WiFi throughout the house as well as a smart TV, dvds, books and games too. Lovely location, shame it was so wet and we couldn't use the outdoor seating but a lovely secluded area with a BBQ was available. Great size bedrooms and loads of storage, though the beds could do with replacing as they're creaky and have been repaired in the past. The oven was v temperamental (too hot too fast?) and set off the heat alarm every time we used it! There is an air fryer though but not large enough to cook a meal for all 7 of us at once. Would visit again if we visited Cornwall again but would hope for new beds by then!

    The barn is so spacious and the pool table was a welcome bonus when we had to stay in out of the rain! There was everything we needed and more in the kitchen. The only downside was the creaky bed!
