    “This is obviously an old cottage that I would describe as " quirky".”

    There were up to eight of us at various times, plus a toddler, and it never felt cramped. This cottage is clearly someone's home and not a rental per se. And, it is all the better for it. We stayed late October in the drizzle. We enjoy autumn in Cornwall. The cottage has a fire which we used everyday.

    There were up to eight of us at various times, plus a toddler, and it never felt cramped. This cottage is clearly someone's home and not a rental per se. And, it is all the better for it. We stayed late October in the drizzle. We enjoy autumn in Cornwall. The cottage has a fire which we used everyday. The initial problem of a lack of firewood was overcome by a phone call to Dave " the house Elf " who delivered five sacks within an hour. The cottage is well furnished. There were stairgates on both staircases which was a godsend with a two year old. The bedrooms were roomy, all had en suites albeit one was missing a shower. This isn't a problem due to the other showers available but the cottage should then be advertised as having three, not four showers. It would be helpful if there was a guide showing how to work electronic appliances etc., and places of interest, places to eat etc. There is parking for four cars which is essential in an area of restricted parking, and an enclosed garden for the dogs. There is a pub - ring o bells - about 200 yards from the cottage which serves very nice food. We ate there twice in a week and it was busy but not overly so. For me and my family this was an ideal base to explore Cornwall. Very nice cottage.

This large property boasts quirky décor and original features, creating a characterful abode for groups of friends or families looking to explore Cornwall.

Park off-road and be welcomed into a hallway with eye-catching wallpaper, finding first a welcoming sitting room with a glowing woodburning stove and tasteful furniture encouraging guests to recline with a coffee and plan the day ahead of them.

When mealtimes call, the stunning kitchen houses a great many amenities, settled into contemporary furniture and ideal for cooking up a storm, and here there is a breakfast bar for morning coffee.

The dining room continues the theme of quirky décor, and is also home to a piano, so why not put your musical skills to the test after dinner?

There is a snug with bright décor, ideal for curling up with a good book, as well as a handy utility to take care of any washing.

The opulence of the living spaces is continued into the four beautifully-presented bedrooms, each with their own character and charm, so choose between three stunning double bedrooms on the first floor, each with incredible artwork adorning the walls, and teaming with character and charm.

Each bedroom has a handy en-suite, and the spacious master bedroom offers large windows and a sitting area, and there is a fourth bedroom, a family room with a double and single, with an en-suite bathroom.

Outside, relax in the beautiful garden, and enjoy a glass of your favourite beverage as you reflect on the day’s adventures.

St Columb Major is a delightful town with a great selection of cafés, restaurants, and pubs, with options including The Ring O’ Bells and The Coaching Inn.

About the location

ST COLUMB MAJOR

Newquay 7 miles; Padstow 9 miles.

An old and picturesque market town nestled among lush green countryside, just five miles from the North Cornish Coast. The resort attractions of Newquay includes bars, clubs, a zoo, vibrant shops, the National Surfing Centre and fabulous beaches are all just 7 miles away, while 9 miles in the other direction is the sleepy fishing port of Padstow. In between lies a beautiful section of the South West Coast path, winding its way over the clifftops, down to tranquil coves and across some of the region's top beaches. The surrounding area is also a visitor’s paradise with much to see and do. Stately homes, world-renowned gardens, adventure playgrounds and theme parks, model railways, fishing lakes and golf courses are all to be discovered within 10 miles. Even the spectacular Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, both on the other side of the county, are only 12 miles away, making this a superb base for your Cornish holiday.
