Charming Cottage With Easy Access To The Eden Project, Lost Gardens Of Heligan

Brookside is a charming, South facing Cornish cottage that sits in a quiet country lane. The cottage is more than 150 years old and has been refurbished to a high standard, decorated in a simple,modern style yet retaining its period charm.
The cottage offers privacy when dining al-fresco on the patio plus spacious accommodation for six plus a cot with three bedrooms (two doubles, one twin) and a large family bathroom. The lounge-dining room has a huge original stone fireplace with an efficient wood-burning stove. Furnishings are modern yet invitingly comfy.
The cottage looks onto a peaceful,pretty lawned garden with rose bushes,edged by mature trees and shrubs with a natural granite slabbed patio area that faces south,enjoying direct sunlight all day long.Both front and rear gardens are private and fully enclosed by walls,fences and natural hedges. A wealth of mature plants and flowering shrubs (camellias, rhododendrons etc.) surround the property.There is ample parking at the front for several cars.
Just a short stroll along the lane is the village pub.The Polgooth Inn serves great local beers and food prepared using locally sourced produce.It`s a proper family-run place that welcomes children and animals and serves food all day both in the pub as well as the garden.There are more excellent pubs and restaurants within easy reach of Brookside, including Austells (3 mls.) and Kingswood (0.5 mls.)

Beautiful holiday cottage
We had a wonderful week at Brookside cottage. It was comfortable and peaceful and the garden was very beautiful. Having the Polgooth Inn a short walk away was an added bonus too! Perfect location for the Eden Project and exploring the local area. Our hosts, Geoff Jeanette were very welcoming.

A lovely family home from home
Were all really impressed with the property, rooms much more spacious than the photos suggested, and exceptionally clean. Very good location with many activities and tourist attractions within easy reach. Geoff's communication with us was great, as well as both he and his wife Jeannette being friendly neighbours on hand if needed. We will definitely be looking to book with them again when next visiting Cornwall.

Stunning cottage, wonderful hosts - highly recommend!!!
We genuinely cannot recommend this cottage enough. It is a beautiful property, with stunning gardens. The house was spotless and had everything you could need. It's much bigger in real life than it seems in the photos and felt very spacious for four of us. The hosts are very friendly, helpful and went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay. We are so grateful to have found this property last minute - it really is a gem. Absolutely will be coming back!!!!

Outstanding stay
Geoff and Jeanette are warm hosts who go out of their way to ensure you have a comfortable and idyllic stay. Cottage is outstanding - I was immaculate and beautiful. The garden is magical. Pub 200 yards away and a cute small holding adjacent. Tranquil and private setting. We took our dog and the stair gate they installed helped. We had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

An incredible stay
We cannot fault this cottage and the hosts. The cottage itself was immaculate when we arrived, you would not know there had been previous guests there that morning. The welcome pack was very generous and well received. The cottage and gardens were beautiful and in a lovely, peaceful location. The hosts were incredibly kind and friendly, even getting our washing off the line for us while we were out which we were very grateful for when it started raining! The cottage was lovely and spacious with everything we needed. We would 100% recommend and would love to go back soon.

Beautiful spacious cottage with great outdoor space
We spent a fabulous 9 days holiday in the lovely Brookside cottage. The cottage is beautiful, very clean and spacious both inside and out. Inside the cottage is well equipped with everything you need. Every room nicely decorated, clean and spacious. Outside the gardens both front and rear are lovely and very well maintained. It is in a quiet location, so lovely to sit outside at night. The location of the cottage is also fantastic with a great pub the Polgooth Inn, just down the lane. Brookside is also within a very short drive of some great beaches and also the lovely Mevagissey, Fowey, Charlestown and The Eden Project is also very close by. I really recommend this lovely Cornish Cottage. It is a credit to Geoff and Jeanette, who are lovely people. We will definitely be planning another visit in the future. Thank you Geoff and Jeanette

The property was lovely and perfect for us and our dog. It’s in a brilliant location near St Austell and local beaches / attractions, with a great dog friendly pub a short walk from the door. We found easy access to main roads which allowed us to explore the north, south and west coasts too. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. We would definitely book again.
