About this property
A rural retreat set in a beautiful Cornish valley
2 bedroom farmstay self-catering apartment with far-reaching views across the Cornish countryside. This loft apartment above Demelza Cottage has its own access and is nestled in the hamlet of Demelza, from which the famous Poldark character got her name.
It is tucked away in the heart of Cornwall, yet Padstow, Wadebridge, Watergate Bay, Newquay, Eden Project, Lost Gardens of Heligan, Truro and Bodmin Moor are all within a 20 minute drive.
Nearest beaches (within 20 mins drive): Newquay town beaches, Watergate Bay, Mawgan Porth, Constantine, Mother Ivey's, Harlyn, Carlyon Bay, Charlestown, and Porthpean.
Plenty of parking and an outside seating area which is an ideal spot to watch the sunset with a glass of wine. At dusk, look out for bats, and settle down to gaze at the myriad of stars, visible in the dark skies.
Please note that the apartment is situated on the 2nd floor and is accessed via a spiral staircase, so it may not be suitable for those that are less mobile, or with very young children.

About the host
Hosted by Kim Gray
I traded in the rat race, posh clothes, and motorways for a life in wellies in the countryside, driving narrow country lanes. I have never looked back and hope to share a piece of the good life with you.
