The house comfortably sleeps 9 and is arranged over three floors. Guests are greeted by a well-equipped cottage kitchen on the ground floor which leads through to a cosy dining area with a farmhouse dining table, church pew seating and ladderback chairs. Beyond this is the open plan living room with beamed ceiling and relaxing sofas. On the first floor are two comfortable double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom that includes a shower, wc and pedestal washbasin.

There is also a drop-off area a few paces from the house where guests can unload and load their luggage. Alternatively, forget the car and come by train – it's a scenic journey from Liskeard to Looe and once you're here, everything is walkable. The train station is a 10 minute walk from the house.
