The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining space at the heart of the cottage has slate flooring, beamed ceilings and the warm Cornish character that owners of holiday properties often say they're aiming for and rarely achieve. The wood burner — a working one, not decorative — sits alongside underfloor heating, so warmth isn't contingent on getting the fire going. The kitchen is well equipped for self-catering.
Upstairs, a charming king-size bedroom with exposed floorboards and a high vaulted ceiling. The bathroom features a roll-top bath and separate shower cubicle — a detail that counts when you've just come in from a long walk.
