Enjoy a fabulous Cornish getaway on the border of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty at this stylish stone-built family cottage. Make the most of fantastic on-site facilities (such as the health club and golf), dine al-fresco on your private balcony and roam 450 acres of the St Mellin Estate.

With a reverse-level layout, this warm and welcoming cottage has been stylishly designed to host guests in absolute comfort with many homely features and thoughtful touches. Climb the magnificent spiral staircase to the first floor's open-plan living area, a wonderfully social space for spending time with loved ones. Relax in the lounge area, gather around the dining table to play a family board game, or share a delicious meal prepared in the contemporary kitchen. Alternatively, head outside to the balcony overlooking the private garden and dine al fresco on a warm summer evening. The two bedrooms can be found on the ground floor: the first a delightful bunk room that children are sure to adore, and the second a lovely master bedroom with an inviting king-size bed and free-standing bathtub for a relaxing soak at the end of the day. A first-floor shower room completes this well-presented family home.

Boasting an on-site health club and spa, a large swimming pool, tennis courts, places to eat and an 18-hole golf course, St Mellion Estate offers something for everyone. On the fringes of the Tamar Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, there's plenty to see and do if you fancy venturing further afield. Take a walk along the pretty River Tamar or stroll around the grounds of National Trust’s Cotehele Mill (3.5 miles). Children and adults alike will enjoy getting lost in the Cornish Maize Maze (3 miles) or an action-packed day out at Adrenalin Quarry (12 miles). For a spot of retail therapy, the historic port city of Plymouth is 12 miles away and home to a fantastic range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants, as well as many high-street favourites. Of course, we must mention Cornwall's number one tourist attraction, the Eden Project (29 miles). A day trip to this incredible place will truly be one to remember, with the conservation project's towering 'biomes' housing an unbelievable living landscape of plants from around the world.
