About this property
The Reading Room is a beautifully converted chapel nestled in the peaceful hamlet of Seworgan near Constantine in Cornwall, offering couples an irresistibly romantic countryside retreat. This charming stone-built hideaway is all on one level and brims with character, from its enchanting vaulted and beamed ceilings to its contemporary, elegant décor. Make use of the convenient off-road parking before stepping through the French doors into a bright, airy living space designed for cosy, intimate escapes.
The stylish kitchen invites you to create delicious meals together, complete with an electric oven and hob perfect for preparing indulgent dinners. Share your dishes and raise a toast at the dining table, and later curl up on the plush sofa to enjoy a film on the Smart TV.
On sun-drenched days, the outdoor space becomes your own private haven. Relax on the garden furniture, soaking up the Cornish sunshine, and fire up the barbecue for alfresco dining under blue skies.
As evening settles, retreat indoors to unwind with a soothing soak in the bathroom before warming your feet on the comforting underfloor heating. Slip into your pyjamas and settle into the inviting double bed with a hot chocolate; the soft glow of bedside lamps creates the perfect atmosphere for a few pages of your favourite book.

A warm welcom! Peace and relaxation were the order of the day. Lots of great sights in the surrounding area. We were able to have very tasty eggs from the Farm chickens

The hosts were so friendly and did everything to make our stay comfortable. The Reading Room is a perfect get-away-from-it-all location. Centrally positioned to be able to explore both Cornish coastlines. Would thoroughly recommend this gem of a property.
