A spacious dining room decorated in New England style with a large bay window and sea views, feature fireplace (decorative use only) and seating for 13.
A further reception room with feature fireplace, TV, 2 armoires and a day bed that can be used as additional TV room or bedroom.
A comprehensive fitted kitchen with butler sink, 2 pyrolytic ovens, hob, dishwasher and microwave.
A small utility area with fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.
A twin bedroom with nautical decoration.
A shower room with a basin and w.c.
The first floor contains:
A large lounge with a feature fireplace which has been furnished in New England style with 2 large settees, 2 armchairs, a window seat, TV, DVD and music system.
Two double bedrooms with nautical themes.
1 single bedroom.
1 bathroom with bath (with shower), basin and high level w.c.
1 shower room with large shower, basin and w.c
The second floor has:
The master bedroom with spectacular sea view and en-suite shower room.

N.B. We are unable to accept bookings from anyone under the age of 25 years or stag or hen parties.
PLEASE NOTE:
Short breaks of 2, 3 or 4 nights are calculated on a percentage basis (not a nightly rate) and are normally, only accepted from November - end of February, unless we still have availability closer to the commencement date.
A two-night break may be booked through this website. You will need to contact us for an exact 3 or 4 night price.
We do not accept a short break during the Christmas week but do accept a 3 or 4 night short break over the New Year.
ST IVES.
St Ives, the most famous of Cornish holiday towns, loved for generations, is easy to reach by road or by air and easy by train. Fine golden sand, crystal clear water, warmed all year round by the Gulf Stream. Awake to the gulls' cry, dress quickly and jog down the cool granite streets for a solitary early morning walk along the beach, cool sand and warm water caress your soles, tickle your toes. Life is cradled around the harbour where boats still land good catches of fresh fish for the local restaurants to nourish you with. Brought ashore on the ancient granite quays, the catch is of the highest quality for some of Britain's finest restaurants. A maze of tiny cobbled streets to wander through, lined by fishermen's cottages. In the summer there's a blaze of colour all around the town with houses smothered in baskets of blooms, parks and public areas a rich spectrum of radiant colours. The mild climate and almost frost-free winters make it possible to grow plants and shrubs normally native to semi-tropical countries hundreds of miles further south.
The Eden Project, St Michael's Mount near Penzance, The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno, Lands End, The National Maritime Museum in Falmouth, Paradise Park in Hayle and lovely Coastal Walks.
