About this property
A delightful, charming cottage in the peaceful village of St. Minver with beautifully styled interiors that create a calm and comforting feeling, situated just up the quiet lane from the enchanting 12th-century Church. Stokes Cottage offers an idyllic combination as the character of the original cottage has been retained, but thoughtfully updated with tasteful, contemporary furnishings and modern facilities, that complement the original features. From the moment you step into the sitting room, you can relax into your Cornish holiday by kicking off your shoes and sinking into the sofa to recharge after your journey. In the winter months, enjoy this perfect refuge to while away the hours by curling up with a book in the snug armchair in front of a roaring open fire after a bracing coastal walk! Following through into the brand-new kitchen you have all the cooking facilities you need, whether it's to prepare you for the day ahead with a full English breakfast or coming back to a rustle up a hearty family dinner. After a heavenly day at the beach you can retreat to your Cornish bolthole and enjoy a well-deserved glass of wine in the sheltered courtyard, finished with its attractive slate patio and surrounding planting. Upstairs, the characterful master bedroom is graced with natural light flooding in through the sash windows while the bright, airy twin bedroom offers extra adults or children their own cosy space to escape and rest peacefully. The new, modern bathroom provides a stand alone shower and the ultimate convenience of modern facilities to freshen up in.
Within the village of St. Minver, you can venture over to the local beach at Rock, renowned for its sandy shores out to the Camel Estuary. Here you can hone your skills on the water with Camel Ski School's experiences in water-skiing and sailing or for the more laid back lifestyle, soak up the atmosphere in any of the many local pubs, cafes and restaurants. From Rock you can continue on and explore the coastline with a picturesque walk along the South West Coastal Path around Brea Hill (or up and over for those with a bucketful of energy!) to the spectacular Daymer Bay, Greenaway and Polzeath. A charming hideaway in a great location for enjoying the Cornish coast.
The charming and picturesque civil parish of St Minver is perched along the scenic Cornish Coast. Visitors can enjoy a lovely church with stunning views of the surrounding countryside, a Post Office, and a well-stocked convenience shop. St Minver is an ideal tourist destination for visiting Cornwall, with easy access to the gorgeous Rock beaches and the surfer's paradise of Polzaeath.

The best kitchen I have had to work in for many years, sharp knives I can use. Little waging line to hang wetsuits. We would love to book again. Perfect location between Rock and The beach.

Detailed cleaning a little neglected but didn't ruin the stay here. Rubbish in the outdoor bin store wasn't collected before we arrived, but there was still some room to put ours in at the end of our stay. We did call John Bray's regarding this. Overall, we enjoyed our stay here.
