This beautiful area of Cornwall really is a hidden gem and upon arrival you will be immediately wowed by the spectacular, uninterrupted countryside and high moorland panoramas that surround the cottage’s glorious south facing gardens. With no near neighbours, the silence is broken only by birdsong, providing the perfect atmosphere for unwinding and relaxation.
Inside, the cottage’s bright, well-equipped kitchen invites you to relax on the veranda’s swing seat. The dining room and hallway have Cornish Delabole slate floors, and the sitting room’s large leather sofas welcome you. Upstairs offers two sumptuous kingsize bedrooms and a spacious shower room. This two-bedroomed property sleeps two people in one or two kingsize beds. It is suitable, for example, for couples who cannot sleep in the same bed, two friends travelling together, or an adult and a 16+ years old child.
The breath-taking moorland views of Caradon Hill, Sharptor, Notter Tor on Bodmin Moor and Kit Hill, tempt you to explore, both directly from the property and via the vast array of nearby walking, cycling and horse-riding opportunities, so that you may immerse yourself further in the picturesque serenity. Neighbouring villages include Pensilva, with moorland horse riding for all abilities, Minions with the ancient Hurlers stone circles and the Cheesewring rocks, all offering astonishing views of Cornwall, to the coast. Local National Trust properties include Cotehele, Buckland Abbey and Lydford Gorge. Gunnislake forms the start of the scenic Tamar Valley (AONB) scenic railway line. Canoe and cycle hire is available at Calstock, standing opposite historic Morewellham Quay, on the lush banks of the beautiful River Tamar. There is an open-air Sterts Theatre and Siblyback Lake offers water sports, windsurfing, fishing, kayaking, walking and an off-road cycle route. St Mellion International Resort offers golf, spa and pool.
With so many options you are spoilt for choice, but whatever you choose, you will feel secure in the knowledge that you will return to the peace and tranquillity of this lovely cottage, which is conveniently adjacent to the owner’s property, at days end.
