To the north lies the ever-popular destinations of Port Isaac, famed in the TV show Doc Martin, Padstow, Rock, and Polzeath which is one of the country’s surfing hot spots, all within 20 miles. From the cottage, you can visit the local village pubs at Lanivet, Luxulyan and Lanlivery. Attractions include cycling at Cardinham, the National Lobster Hatchery, Newquay Zoo, Karting at St Eval, many National Trust properties and an 18-hole golf course in Bodmin (20 miles).

If you're looking for a special setting for a romantic retreat, then this property certainly delivers. Enter the bespoke lounge/kitchen/diner, a wonderfully light and spacious room that has been thoughtfully styled. The kitchen area has all you require for your holiday home cooking requirements, with an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. After a day of exploring, take time to relax in the lounge with your favourite movie on the Smart TV. Doors from the central lounge/kitchen/dining area lead you to the bedroom and shower room. The bedroom, a good-size double, features plenty of storage and is the perfect spot for a lazy morning or breakfast in bed. This room also houses a utility cupboard for the washing machine and tumble dryer. Completing the lodge is the shower room with a large double shower, underfloor heating and a WC.
