About this property
This handsome character residence provides a relaxing escape from modern life pressures to a tranquil setting in the peaceful hamlet of Bissoe. The ambience is far removed from the crowded coastal resorts however the location is close enough to premier visitor attractions and 6 miles equidistant to Truro, Cornwall's vibrant capital, and Falmouth, a maritime town with an amazing coastline and stunning beaches. A spacious cottage with contemporary kitchen with a mezzanine floor and fabulous bi-fold doors taking you into the garden. Traditional meets modern, is definitely where this property sits. The mezzanine has a TV and there is also a cosy sitting room with TV and open fire and there is central heating throughout to ensure it is comfortable for breaks during all seasons. On the first floor there are three attractive bedrooms, large shower room and a bathroom. Within the grounds there is a separate annex with 5' bed and en-suite, perfect for couples. The large garden is a mixture of lawn, shrubs and trees with a summer house which holds a table tennis table and football table. A convenience store and pub serving delicious ales and food are within a 5 minute drive. Little Chycoose is a lovely base for exploring all parts of Cornwall. There are a host of opportunities being under 10 miles from the beautiful beaches and dramatic cliffs of the north coast and the meandering creeks and tidal moorings of the Roseland Peninsula. Bissoe Cycle Hire and Loe Beach Watersports Centre are all located within a 10 minute drive and it is also an excellent destination for walkers and naturalists with scenic footpaths along the nearby creeks and inlets of the Truro and Falmouth rivers, the beautiful National Trust owned woodland park at Trelissick and the sub-tropical gardens at Glendurgan and Trebah, and there is also Cornwall's spectacular global garden,The Eden Project which is always worth a visit. With lots to see and do you are guaranteed a memorable and fun-filled break for families and friends.
Truro is the retail centre of Cornwall with a good range of independent shops as well as national stores all within a compact city centre. With its eclectic range of art galleries, bars, restaurants, cinema, theatre, museum and outstanding cathedral this small city is a superb year round destination. Steeped in history and intriguing architecture there is always plenty to do and see. Just meandering through the Georgian cobbled streets is a pleasure in itself.

Especially the balcony in the kitchen was used for the entertainment. The Scones and drinks were fantastic on arrival. Mark made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend this cottage. We loved our close we were to each coast of Cornwall. The Cow Shed was lovely if you have anybody who is slightly less able. Thank you once again

I have been visiting Cornwall every year since age 7 apart from my teen years that were spent in Canada. There is something about Cornwall that gets under your skin and finds a place in your heart. We went on to take our children and now our grandaughter has had her first holiday in Cornwall. Little Chycoose was a real home from home, everything that three generations of one family would need was catered for and we were immediately wrapped up in the special warmth and magic that exuded from it. From the welcome pack (bubbles, scones, clotted cream etc) to the milk, tea, coffee and kitchen bits, we didnât need to worry about anything for the first day. We travelled to Cornwall from The Isle of Wight and the New Forest, quite a trip with a baby and someone with limited mobility, finding the cottage was made extra special by the little roads that led to it. As each car arrived the same things were said by the occupants âthis is just perfectâ. It wouldnât matter what time of year you visited, LC would always be perfect. Set in countryside with beautiful gardens, farmers fields for views going off into the distance and a group of squirrels to keep the dachshundâs on their toes, we had plenty to occupy us both inside and out. Ample space downstairs allowed my son in law to have business meetings via Skype whilst the rest of the family and doggos occupied the rest of the house and gardens. LC is the type of house I think of when I look at owning a property where we could all live, one that embraces family life but also allows everyone to have their own space to read, play or congregate in the kitchen, not once did we end up going out for dinner. We made full use of the kitchen space and had some wonderful meals around the large kitchen table. My husband and I stayed in the Cow Shed, tastefully decorated throughout and with a fabulous shower. It was nice to say goodnight at the end of the evening and make our way to bed, we slept well each night and in the morning weâre ready to start the day. Every year I have places I want to visit but this year, it didnât matter. We were so comfortable in our surroundings that we stayed home several times whilst others went out for a mooch. Mark, owner of LC was lovely, thoughtful and appreciative of family life. It was thoughtful of him to make contact to ensure all was well and to see if anything was needed by any of us (including the baby). Our thoughts on LCâ¦.. perfect! Would we come again? Absolutely. I give a general heads up on anyone with an EV. We had a nightmare finding somewhere to charge and ended up in the McDonalds car park just as you head into Falmouth (about 4miles from LC). Itâs a fast charge and cost us £30 to fill up. On leaving LC, we stopped at Launceston, the car park had a super fast charger and again it was just under £30 and got us home (just). I wish Cornwall would sort this out, living on the Isle of Wight we have the same problem so Iâm more than tolerant of it but some may not be. Relax, youâre on holiday.
