Nuthatch Cottage is a delightful single-storey retreat named after the small, plump bird that resembles a woodpecker. Built in 1665 and beautifully converted in the 1980s, this charming cottage is nestled within 20 acres of tranquil private woodland. It offers an idyllic backdrop for experiencing the best of Cornwall, from stunning rural landscapes to breath-taking coastal beauty spots.
As you stroll up the cobbled steps, you are welcomed into a cosy living space that radiates charm and comfort. The wooden-beamed ceilings and wood-burning fireplace enhance the room's character, creating an inviting atmosphere to be enjoyed throughout the year. Plush armchairs sit opposite a Smart TV, perfect for snuggling up to watch a movie or simply putting your feet up after a busy day.
The cottage features a compact yet well-appointed kitchen equipped with everything you may need for your stay. Enjoy modern appliances including an oven, hob, dishwasher, kettle, and a Nespresso coffee machine, along with a full set of glassware, cookware, and tableware for preparing romantic meals at the rustic wood breakfast bar.
On warmer evenings, dine al fresco on your private stone patio overlooking the green valleys. This charming space features bistro seating for two, ideal for enjoying a glass of bubbly as the sun sets behind the hills. A BBQ is also provided, perfect for cooking up a storm with the tasty treats you collect during your adventures.
The spacious master bedroom continues the whimsical charm with exposed Cornish stone walls and vaulted ceilings. The king-size bed, adorned with soft bedding, promises a restful night’s sleep, and there’s plenty of storage for your belongings.
The bedroom is served by a well-sized bathroom featuring a bath and an over-bath power shower. Fresh towels and complimentary Made for Life Organics toiletries—including shampoo, hand soap, and body wash—are provided for your comfort.
