About this property

Situated a short drive from the popular resorts and beaches of Looe and Polperro, this charming, traditional stone cottage offers families the chance to unwind. Children will love feeding the resident miniature ponies, ducks, rabbits and goats. There is also a seasonal putting green, tennis court with practice wall, games room complete with pool table, darts and table tennis and outdoor play area with outdoor classics including Swingball, Giant Jenga and Giant Connect4. The ground floor includes a refurbished kitchen with dining area and a snug sitting room warmed by an electric wood burner. Upstairs, you will find the master bedroom with an antique four poster bed and enjoying rural views. The second bedroom has three single beds. The bathroom is modern and smart. Designed with those who love the outdoors in mind, there is a small, enclosed garden for families and pets plus shared lawns for children to play. Just a short distance from the village of Pelynt, you will find a 16th century pub, restaurant complete with beer garden. Discover the secluded coves of Talland Bay, located just between Looe and Polperro or for garden lovers, why not visit the world famous Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan or the beautiful National Trust Lanhydrock country house? Blacksmith's Cottage is perfect for families wanting to enjoy the countryside and beaches on Cornwall's south coast.

Looe is Cornwall’s second largest fishing port and hence there is always a lively maritime bustle around the quay area of East Looe, which is connected to the quieter West Looe by a seven arched 19th century bridge over the River Looe. You can also catch the river taxi between East and West Looe. East Looe has narrow cobbled streets, twisting alleyways and plenty of tourist shops, whilst West Looe has a lovely outlook across the harbour. Looe’s viewpoint, Banjo Pier, can be reached from the quay and is a great spot to watch the returning fishing trawlers and look across the bay to Looe Island, which can be walked to occasionally at very low tides. The sandy Looe beach adjoins the pier and is very popular with families because of its safe shallow swimming and vast expanse of sand. There is also a great rock pool area at Hannafore that children will love. West Looe has a discovery centre, and the delightful Kilminorth Woods have way marked walks through the majestic oak wood, rich in plant, insect and bird life. Apart from beachy activities in this part of south east Cornwall, there are many mining remains on Bodmin Moor and in the Tamar Valley, and much of the mining landscape has World Heritage status. This area of Cornwall has inspired writers, such as Daphne du Maurier and much of Bodmin Moor has inspired legends linked with King Arthur. There is much to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
