Acorn Cottage Cornwall

This delightful one-level cottage, part of a 300-year-old barn, is an relaxing escape for couples seeking tranquillity in central Cornwall. On-site, guests can wander through 17 acres of appealing woodland and meadows or enjoy fishing along the River Fowey, known for its excellent salmon and trout. The property’s proximity to the A30 and A38 makes it easy to visit tourist hot spots including Looe (10 miles) and Fowey (14 miles). There’s something here for everyone within 10 miles of home – whether you’re marvelling at the exotic flora and fauna of the Eden Project or visiting the National Trust’s Victorian country house at Lanhydrock (5 miles) to explore the house, gardens and parkland.

Before stepping into this welcoming cottage, take a moment to appreciate its scenic position surrounded by greenery and tree-lines hills. Head inside, kick off muddy shoes in the entrance porch, and walk through to the galley-style kitchen. Here, find everything needed for cooking up Cornish feasts, which can be enjoyed at the round dining table in the charming lounge/diner. This cosy space features exposed stone walls and south-facing windows as well as a TV for relaxed evenings in. At the end of each busy day away, retire to the restful double bedroom and start the next day with a refreshing soak in the well-appointed shower room.

Outside is a dedicated seating area with a picnic bench and charcoal BBQ, offering the perfect spot for peaceful morning brews and al fresco evening tipples. Private parking for one car is available, as is a shared laundry room with a selection of games and outdoor equipment. Guests are also invited to explore the site’s grounds, which include private fishing rights.
