About this property

Idyllic cottage hideaway with scenic views. Hot-tub & dog-friendly walled garden

Tamsin's Cottage is a light and spacious barn conversion well equipped with all modern conveniences. There are spectacular views of the countryside and valley extending into the distance. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing getaway with only the sounds of the birds for company, then look no further.

** Please note during early May our neighbours are finishing off some building work on their property, they have been very considerate during the recent build and this should not distract from your stay. **

Upon entering the cottage, there is a large kitchen/living/dining area with vaulted ceilings, which has been newly upgraded with new rugs and sofas for the 2024 season . The kitchen is fully equipped with a double oven and hob, dishwasher, SMEG fridge freezer and a washing machine/tumble drier, not to mention the Lavazza espresso machine! There are two bedrooms, both offer en-suite facilities and the master bedroom boasts a four-poster bed. The second bedroom has been upgraded with new beds, mattresses, headboards and curtains for the 2024 season and the beds can be made up as a twin or a double - just let us know your preference.

Outside you will find a large private patio, perfect for that morning cup of coffee watching a wide variety of birds enjoying the bird feeder, or for an al-fresco barbeque. There is also a 4 person heated hot-tub, which is fantastic for relieving the aches and pains of a days walking Cornwall's Coastal paths, or relaxing under the stars. We are located in a dark sky area, so the night sky can be very special indeed. If you have brought along your four legged friend, the garden is walled, gated and secure. There is a public bridleway just in front of the cottage which is ideal for an early morning or evening dog walk. We have also recently created a dedicated car parking area for the cottage, just outside the garden gate, making for easy access.

Solar panels and a ground-source heat pump provide central heating and hot water (backed up be electricity from renewable sources). We do try to use eco-friendly products where possible.

Dogs are welcome. There is a £15 per dog charge.

Tamsin's Cottage is well placed for many beaches, towns and villages on the coast. Looe, Polperro, Lerryn and Fowey are all close by and the National Trust beach of Lansallos is a short drive away.

Eden Project: The famous Eden Project is 30 mins drive away.

Gardens & Stately Homes: Lanhydrock House is one of the National Trust's more popular properties and is only 20 minutes drive. The famous Lost Gardens of Heligan are also within easy reach.

What a fantastic find!
We had a week at tamsins cottage and can honestly say it's been amazing. Communication with the hosts was perfect and their attention to helping when needed was brilliant. The cottage itself is lovely, warm (needed with the cornish rain!!) And so well equipped, with good quality items. It's a perfect place to use as a base to go out and explore, or rest in front of the log fire or in the hot tub. Thankyou so much, we hope to be back!

About the host

Hosted by Lesley Baxter

Host profile image
We relocated to Cornwall in June 2022 due to a work opportunity for my husband, when we first pulled into the drive to view Beara Barn and Tamsin's Cottage, we knew it was the property for us. We have kept Tamsin's Cottage running exactly as the previous successful owners did, which the reviews since June 2022, testify to.

Why they chose this property

We love the space, peace and tranquillity, coupled with the amazing views.
