The property
Inspired by the enchantment of the BBC's Poldark series, Demelza Cottage is a brand new barn conversion designed for couples, families and romantic adventure.
A true hideaway in a magical countryside setting with delicious views, a beautiful home interior and easy access to the North and South coasts.
Set in a large enclosed garden with a hot tub, wooden gazebo with built in seating, lighting and heating for dining al fresco in the day or evening, Demelza Cottage offers rural peace and the chance to unwind.
Remote but not isolated, this very special holiday home is approached by a secure gated entrance leading to over 8 acres of stunning private grounds shared with three other properties including the owner's farmhouse.
Arranged on one level and designed to maximise the views, the accommodation is impeccably turned out with great attention to comfort and detail.
Guests receive a cordial welcome from Maureen and delicious Cornish goodies on arrival.
Step inside and discover a light and spacious interior furnished in a contemporary country style.
The open plan living room, with wood burner, incorporates a large squashy leather sofa, an oak dining table with pretty garden views and a kitchen packed with good quality appliances including a coffee maker.
Bedrooms feature sumptuous beds (which can be presented as doubles or twins) adorned with throws and cushions and tip top en-suite bathrooms.
Luxurious bed linens and thick fluffy towels are a given.
When you are ready to explore the surrounding area you will find Truro, Cornwall's shopping capital, is 15 minutes by car.
With an intriguing mix of independent shops, restaurants, golf course, theatre, cinema, bowling alley, art galleries, museum and cathedral, it is an excellent visitor destination with entertainment for all ages.
There are beaches in abundance at nearby Porthtowan, Portreath and St Agnes and a little farther afield is the iconic resort of St Ives.
Falmouth, famed for its beaches, the National Maritime Museum and Pendennis Castle and the nearby coast to coast cycle and walking trail at Bissoe are also recommended.
Pets are very welcome and there is an enclosed tree lined meadow behind the property for exercising dogs.
