    a lovely spacious cottage all you needed plenty of kitchen utensils including a couple of dishwasher tablets the mini supermarket (coop) is over the rd a fabulous bakery and butchers too. It's around 15 mins to a beach 10 mins to the airport. Truro is approx 40 mins we used the park and ride on route I would recommend as it's a busy city. The cottage has it's heating gauge near the front door its a warm cottage it holds it's heat so it doesn't need to be left on high we reduced it to 14 and it was still comfortable I turned it up in the evening for a few hours. There's cobbles outside that became slippery due to the berry's from the trees, take care if your awear it's fine. There's also a draw with dvds, books, maps, and jigsaw. I have landrover the entrance was narrow it's a sharp turn in from the rd take it steady overall I would highly recommend this venue The Hallams

The property

This 300-year-old stone cottage forms part of a restored inn, lying in the centre of the attractive market town of St Columb Major in Cornwall.

With lush countryside, coastline, plus towns and villages surrounding this heart-warming property, it's an ideal stay for a family or small group of friends to base their Cornish break.

The ground floor of The Old Smithy is occupied by a fabulously finished open-plan living area, which features comfortable seating, stylishly painted wooden beams and homely touches to create a peaceful spot to spend your downtime in.

The contemporary, well-appointed kitchen with its granite worktops and wine cooler almost surrounds the stylish dining table set for four, completing the layout.

The first floor of the property lies under the cosy sloping ceiling; Velux windows fill the two bedrooms with natural light, as the master bedroom benefits from a sumptuous shower room.

The twin room is well-presented and comes with a wall-mounted TV, ideal for children.

The property is topped off with a lavish family bathroom.

When the sun comes out, you will look forward to sitting out on your private patio and enjoying a refreshing drink or perhaps some alfresco dining.

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.
