Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Mathew Robinson
Louise and I have lived at Caervallack since we were married in 1995 and have two adult sons. I work as an niche Architect, designing contemporary buildings in Ancient materials (such as Oak frames or cob(earth walls) of which the Garden Cottage is an example. My wife is a full time Painter-artist, taking inspiration from the beautiful area in which we live . Together we have created the large garden which the Cottage has exclusive access to - Louise the plants and Matt the buildings, walls , topiary and hard landscaping.
Why they chose this property
We were lucky enough to find our Dream House, an unspoilt Grade II listed building which needed lots of work. The area is particularly beautiful and full of mature trees, unusual for West Cornwall.
What makes this property unique
The Cottage is in Ancient land ,and is first mentioned in 1273 (in a legal dispute over Tithes between St.Michael's mount & the parish of Mawgan). We are told the house & garden have an exceptional atmosphere, complimented by the contemporary garden which is all yours to enjoy :a modern twist to an ancient theme.
There are fantastic walks right out the front gate to Frenchmans creek, the Helford river and through mature woodland.
Food is very close at hand too: organic pasties & fresh landed fish are both 5 minutes walk away, while there are three excellent restaurants within 8 minutes drive.
There are 9 coves and beeches within 15minutes drive.
The garden has featured in many glossy magazines over the years - Country Living, The English Garden, Landscape, Cornwall Today and perhaps more impressively in the books "Secret Gardens of Cornwall" & "Dream gardens - 100 contemporary gardens in England".
