The Poachers Pocket Helland, Cornwall

Property Description

This cosy Cornish cottage is an exemplary example of boutique living. There are all sorts of quirky additions to the interior that lend a sense of personality, from the record player and acoustic guitar to the book collection with plenty of local guides. The welcome gift of Cornish wine and produce is also a lovely touch.

That being said, all the essentials are nailed, too. In the living room, the wood-burning stove will really come into its own during colder evenings, as will the pretty freestanding tub in the bathroom. The long turquoise kitchen is plenty big enough for whipping up hearty suppers after a long day of exploring Cornwall's great outdoors.

If you're into your rambling, Bodmin Moor starts just over five minutes' drive from your front door, with stone circles and tors to punctuate your walking. Both Fistral and Polzeath Beaches take around forty minutes to reach in the car. If, however, you want to see the local area on two wheels, the home comes with a pair of bicycles that guests are more than welcome to borrow and the Camel Trail lies two minutes' pedal from the front door.


Home truths:
*There's one allocated parking space available for guests
*Guests get use of a shared garden at the end of the courtyard, although the small front garden is private
*Dog beds, bowls, towels, throws and treats will be included
*A small supply of firewood is provided to get you started with the wood-burning stove
*The bedroom and bathroom are on the first floor, so it might not be suitable for guests with reduced mobility
