If you’re looking for a quiet Cornish cottage – close to beaches, coastal paths and dramatic craggy cliffs – look no further than this charming traditional cottage in peaceful St Teath. Located on a ‘no through’ country lane, you’ll feel away from it all while still enjoying plenty of sights nearby. The home’s courtyard garden is the ideal spot for sunny breakfasts and starlit barbecue feasts, while inside, the living room’s cosy wood-burning fireplace and comfortable nautical-themed bedrooms provide all the rest, relaxation and low-level hibernation you need. While the cottage provides a sense of calm you’ll relish making the most of, there’s plenty to do nearby, not least of all a visit to the local country pub, just two minutes down the road. Further afield, beautiful Port Isaac, Trebarwith Beach and Trebarwith Beach are all a thirteen-minute drive away, Tintagel Castle is a twenty-minute drive and the wild expanses of Bodmin Moor are thirty minutes away by car.
