Only a short drive from the Eden Project and Mevagissey, this home is perfectly positioned for a Cornwall retreat. This minimal cottage is ideal for couples and families seeking quiet afternoons in the garden making pizzas or beach days down at Carlyon.

There’s a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom, making it a great option for those with limited mobility, while the private gravel garden is a bonus during the summer months.
