Peaceful 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 relaxing getaway with only the sounds of the birds for company, then look no further.

Upon entering the cottage, you'll be welcomed by a spacious and bright kitchen/living/dining area characterised by its vaulted ceilings. This area has been thoughtfully updated with a new kitchen and stylish Karndean flooring that enhances both aesthetics and practicality.

Kitchen Features:
Appliances: The kitchen is fully equipped to meet all your culinary needs, including:
Double oven and hob, Microwave/combi oven, Dishwasher, full-sized fridge freezer
Washing machine/tumble dryer, Nespresso espresso machine for coffee lovers

Living/Dining Area:
The open-plan design allows for a seamless flow between cooking, dining, and relaxing spaces, making it perfect for socializing or enjoying quiet moments.

Bedrooms:
The cottage features two comfortable bedrooms, each with its own en-suite facilities.

Master Bedroom:
Furnished with a luxurious four-poster king bed, equipped with a EMMA Next-Generation mattress for optimal comfort. The en-suite shower room was fully updated in November 2025, with a Grohe rainfall shower & wand.

Second Bedroom:
Flexible sleeping arrangements, as it can be configured as either a twin (two single beds) or a double (one large bed). Just let us know your preference ahead of time.

Outside you will find a large private patio, perfect for that morning cup of coffee watching a diverse range of birds enjoying the bird feeder, or for an al-fresco barbeque. There is also a 4-person heated hot-tub, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring Cornwall's stunning coastal paths. It’s also a great way to relax under the stars, especially in our designated dark sky area where stargazing can be truly magical. 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, ideal for an early morning or evening dog walk. We also have two fenced fields, where dogs may run and play off-leash when there is no livestock in residence. Conveniently located just outside the garden gate, the dedicated car parking area ensures easy access to the cottage.

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

Summary:
This cottage is designed for comfort and convenience, making it an ideal getaway for couples, families, or friends. The combination of modern amenities and cozy furnishings creates a welcoming atmosphere for all guests. If you have specific questions or need further details, feel free to ask!

Dogs are welcome, please note there is a £15 per dog charge.

Tamsin's Cottage is well placed for many beaches, towns and villages on the coast. Looe, (made popular by the BBC series "Beyond Paradise") Polperro, Lerryn and Fowey are all close by and the National Trust beach of Lansallos is a short drive away.

Fantastic converted barn with a real ‘home from home’ feel. The outside space was gorgeous, loved the hot tub and watching the birds and bees. So quiet and peaceful. Lovely close walks for the dog and games indoors were an added bonus that entertained even our teens! We had everything we needed and Lesley had left a very welcoming set of goodies on arrival. Would definitely stay again and only wish we’d booked a week instead of a few nights.

Fabulous welcome pack, Lesley greeted us and made sure everything was ok. Tamsin’s Cottage was everything we expected and more. It felt loved and homely with everything you needed for a great stay. Our dogs were made to feel welcome and the field along the track was a godsend. The hot tub was a great way to relax even when the weather was rough we enjoyed watching the birds in the garden. The information book was full of great suggestions and covered everything you needed to know about. The beds and furniture were super comfy. Great selection of DVD’s, games, books and maps. We can’t wait to return - Thankyou Elaine & George
