Detached and delightful, the interior is perfect for couples seeking an almost hideaway escape. The cottage is charming, with a sitting area complete with a woodburner for extra warmth - a relaxing spot on the sofa during winter breaks. There is a table for two, plus separate kitchen, with a quirky feature of shower area at the far end. The lower-ground-floor hosts the pretty bedroom, a haven of country comforts, guaranteeing tranquil slumber with en-suite WC and wash basin. Set in this peaceful idyll, the cottage is reached along a private driveway with ample parking and an enclosed garden to keep pets safe and secure. For rambles and rural exploration, venture through the 14 acres of fields and woodland or pack a hamper with bubbly for a picnic aside the stream or pond, amidst the wildlife and birdsong. Explore the attractions on the Lizard Peninsula, with a myriad of charismatic fishing villages, beautiful coves and beaches all within easy reach.

Laura
We were very warm and comfortable, the cottage is spotless and well equipped for all your needs. The private garden was totally secure, great for our dog to wander without fear of escape. She also loved walking round the surrounding fields in the evening. The valley is full of birds and so peaceful, itâs a truly a lovely place. Only 5 mins from Mullion & the nearest beaches, with lots of places for good food and drink & a well stocked Co-op in the village. Our host was very welcoming and happy to share some tips & recommendations. Great place to stay and explore a lovely part of dog friendly Cornwall.

Only slight criticism is that the carpets need refreshing and the shower didnât stay hot for long. Overall a lovely holiday in a beautiful area.
