Step back in time to stay in this handsome farmhouse, originally built in 1863 and lovingly presented with traditional decor and comfortable furnishings. It’s a true rural escape with a large garden and endless countryside space around it, complete with local footpaths that wind past the property and along to pretty beauty spots. The property sleeps six guests and is dog-friendly, ideal for those eager to get to know some of South Cornwall’s most appealing tourist destinations. Along with Marazion, just 3 miles away, the property is also within reach of the Penwith Heritage Coast (10 miles), Penzance (4 miles) and the Lizard Heritage Coast (16 miles).

Enter through the rustic iron gate to access this ancient stone cottage with a large lawned garden just outside. The garden is entirely furnished with so much space to sit outdoors, giving way to a pretty sunroom with further seating, ideal for admiring the scenery when the weather is cold but sunny. Indoors, discover exposed brickwork, an ornate fireplace and original beams with attractive decor and soft furnishings to match. A feature Cornish range oven sits in the kitchen/diner, alongside a regular electric oven for easy cooking. In the lovely lounge, a Smart TV with Netflix ensures you’ve got something for entertainment when dinnertime is done. Finally, move upstairs to find three handsome bedrooms; one king-size room, a sumptuous double and a single, served by a well-appointed family bathroom and a ground-floor shower room.

So many South Cornwall attractions are within effortless reach near here, including the fishing village of Mousehole (8.5 miles), the 15-acre Trewidden Garden (6.5 miles), Land’s End (14 miles) and St Ives (5 miles), home to Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum.
