About this property

A compact, cosy and unique holiday cottage on the banks of the mill stream. Set next to the stream, surrounded by trees and flowers in the spring, it has its own private patio with the stream bubbling by. Enter via the quaint arched door into the open plan studio. Everything is to hand and the sofa converts into a full-size double bed. Walk through the bluebell woods, laze on the shoreline at the bottom of the valley, explore the nearby coastline, surf the waves or take a trip further afield to the Eden Project (23 miles) or all points south or west. There's much to do and see in this beautiful area. Note: This property can be booked with Refs. 980, 981 and 982, together they sleep 12.

Visitors will love the romance of this beautiful area, with its surfer seas, dramatic cliffs and hidden coves. The town itself is pretty and welcoming, with well-run pubs, restaurants and specialist shops. The South West Coast Path can be followed in both north and south directions,and northwards leads to the charming village of Boscastle after a couple of miles. Trebarwith Strand is one of a number of good beaches near Tintagel and 15 miles away is the popular surfing resort of Bude. Also within reach are such local attractions as the Camel Estuary, the Eden Project and Bodmin Moor, which has a unique atmosphere and one of Britain's spookiest pubs – the Jamaica Inn.

Suits one or two people. Nice surroundings, tall trees and nice garden with a brook running through. Being next to the brook, it gets damp. Itâs only a few minutes from Tintagel town where there is a great Cornish pasty shop.

Fantastic for someone on their own. Lovely seating area round the back, by private stream. Robin the owner was very welcoming. Gave me a discount card for the waterfalls. Will be coming again next summer.

Its location couldn't be any better, it backs on to the river a great place fir a morning coffee. The sofa bed is very comfy for a sofa bed. The kitchen has everything you would ever need to do a breakfast for each other. A very strong shower with plenty of hit water
