Idyllic cottage hideaway with scenic views. Hot-tub & dog-friendly walled garden

Tamsin's Cottage is a light and spacious barn conversion well equipped with all modern conveniences. There are spectacular views of the countryside and valley extending into the distance. If you're looking for a quiet relaxing getaway with only the sounds of the birds for company, then look no further.

Upon entering the cottage, there is a large kitchen/living/dining area with vaulted ceilings, which has been newly upgraded with new rugs and sofas for the 2024 season . The kitchen is fully equipped with a double oven and hob, dishwasher, SMEG fridge freezer and a washing machine/tumble drier, not to mention the Lavazza espresso machine! There are two bedrooms, both offer en-suite facilities and the master bedroom boasts a four-poster king bed, (new EMMA Next-Generation mattress for 2024). The second bedroom has been upgraded with new beds, mattresses, headboards and curtains for the 2024 season and the beds can be made up as a twin or a double - just let us know your preference.

Outside you will find a large private patio, perfect for that morning cup of coffee watching a wide variety of birds enjoying the bird feeder, or for an al-fresco barbeque (new gas BBQ for Summer 2024). There is also a 4 person heated hot-tub, which is fantastic for relieving the aches and pains of a days walking Cornwall's Coastal paths, or relaxing under the stars. We are located in a dark sky area, so the night sky can be very special indeed. If you have brought along your four legged friend, the garden is walled, gated and secure. There is a public bridleway just in front of the cottage which is ideal for an early morning or evening dog walk. We have also recently created a dedicated car parking area for the cottage, just outside the garden gate, making for easy access.

Solar panels and a ground-source heat pump provide central heating and hot water (backed up be electricity from renewable sources). We do try to use eco-friendly products where possible.

Dogs are welcome. There is a £15 per dog charge.

Tamsin's Cottage is well placed for many beaches, towns and villages on the coast. Looe, Polperro, Lerryn and Fowey are all close by and the National Trust beach of Lansallos is a short drive away.

Eden Project: The famous Eden Project is 30 mins drive away.

Gardens & Stately Homes: Lanhydrock House is one of the National Trust's more popular properties and is only 20 minutes drive. The famous Lost Gardens of Heligan are also within easy reach.

The most fabulous break
What a glorious property with the greatest hosts. The cottage was excellently equipped and the welcome package was divine. Everything was clean and extremely comfortable and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. It was great to be able to walk the dogs straight outside the cottage too. Lesley and James left loads of information on things to do in the area and the info on dog friendly beaches was really helpful. They were so helpful and lovely and we had a very relaxing stay 😀

Lovely little cottage
We stayed here for a week in June to explore Cornwall, it was very remote but easy to access the roads for travelling out, the cottage was very welcoming and cosy it had everything in it you could wish for , we did find it a bit cold although it was a summer month unfortunately it wasn’t much like summer so needed the heating just to take the chill out the air, the garden area could do with a little TLC but great for the dogs as safely enclosed. The welcome pack was a nice touch thank you even a Bonio for each dog , Lesley and her husband ( I’m sorry I can’t remember his name) anyway they were lovely very approachable and helpful in many ways I would definatly recommend this cottage for many reasons

Amazing week
The location is perfect if you wish to be left alone, we saw 3 people all week. It was amazing and easy to find. Hearing the cows in the distance whilst in the hot tub will always be entertaining. The cottage was very clean, plenty of cooking utensils and books, games etc. the local Morrison was 15mins in the car, the parking was ideal just outside the cottage. I absolutely would recommend.

A beautiful little cottage, which was really well equipped, we had everything we could need, especially as the weather wasn’t kind ! A lovely hamper to greet us with homemade DELICIOUS jam; and even treats for our dogs… Lesley and James are close by should you need anything & they even helped us out with a pot of sugar that we’d forgotten… Polperro is a MUST visit nearby, beautiful little fishing village with some lovely shops and restaurants…. Bodmin prison also worth a visit our friends told us…!

What a fantastic find!
We had a week at tamsins cottage and can honestly say it's been amazing. Communication with the hosts was perfect and their attention to helping when needed was brilliant. The cottage itself is lovely, warm (needed with the cornish rain!!) And so well equipped, with good quality items. It's a perfect place to use as a base to go out and explore, or rest in front of the log fire or in the hot tub. Thankyou so much, we hope to be back!

Nothing not to like - Excellent
Everything about the property has been well thought through. The facilities within and outside are of a very high standard and although Tamsin's Cottage is linked to the main house, the privacy is excellent. A delightful place to stay within easy reach of the South Coast pleasures. Lesley and Jim are lovely hosts and leave you to enjoy your stay whilst being on hand for any assistance. The hot tub under beautiful dark skies was very decadent and welcome after long walks with the dog. We very much enjoyed the welcome pack - delicious scones, a lovely bottle of wine and the lilies lasted all week and smelt divine. Highly recommended.

Remote farm location
It is ideal for a complete down tools break. The location is quite remote and very quiet. Liskeard and Looe, amongst other places, are only a 20 minutes or so drive away so facilities are well within reach.

Absolutely perfect rural getaway
Loved my stay here. Large open plan living area with high vaulted ceilings. Very well equipped kitchen. Surrounded by fields. Total peace! Recommend The Ship in Lerryn - idyllic little village with good walks. The Jubilee is good for pub food and a pint. Looe has some lovely farm shops and Lostwithiel for boutique shops, cafes and a decent Coop. 2 things to note: The sofas are VERY low! I had to hoist myself up on the arm rest as when sitting, your knees are higher than your hips! Chair raisers would be good! The shower in the master bedroom is tiny and you can't turn the shower on without getting drenched in ice cold water as the tap is behind the bifold door. This would be remedied by switching the door hinge to the other side. There is another over bath shower in the other room but I didn't use it as I didn't want to cause unnecessary cleaning! Good water pressure and temp. These are not deal breakers - I will be back! Absolutely perfect time out and great base to explore Cornwall from! I'm already missing it!

Great cottage in Cornwall
Beautiful and well-appointed cottage with all amenities. The cottage is clean, comfortable and warm with comfortable beds and the hot tub is excellent. Home made scones and jam with local clotted cream from the hosts on arrival delicious and very much appreciated. A very peaceful location, quite isolated and so very quiet, but close to many of the main Cornwall tourist locations. We would recommend the Lost Gardens of Helligan in particular, the Miso Miso restaurant in Newquay, Lantic Bay walk (National Trust) and fish and chips in Looe.
