Nestled in the quaint village of Polgooth, just a couple of miles from the golden beaches and picturesque harbours of the south coast of Cornwall lies this pretty little ground-floor apartment. You'll have your own garden and a conservatory where you can sit out and enjoy the sunshine. Buy some catch-of-the-day from the fresh fish van on Saturday mornings and try cooking something new for dinner in the well-equipped kitchen, or sit out on one of the deck chairs in the garden with a cup of tea. In the evening, sit around the fire pit under the starry sky and share drinks after a long day. If you're looking for a charming village hideaway, you've come to the perfect place. You'll find a well-stocked village shop and a traditional, dog-friendly pub just a short walk from your doorstep, where you can grab any necessities you might need for your stay as well as enjoy a pint with the locals. You'll also find yourself perfectly placed to reach a whole host of popular Cornish attractions and areas, including Mevagissey, Cornwall's second-largest fishing port, where you can take advantage of a range of wonderful independent shops and cafes. You'll also find it easy... to reach famous locations like The Eden Project and The Roseland Peninsula, where you can stroll along beautiful beaches and discover hidden coves.
