The beds are made up with luxurious Egyptian linen sheets. The furnishings are attractive and stylish. And the huge living room is divided from the dining area by huge, ancient beams painted white. It’s light, fresh, welcoming and a pleasure to live in. Our so our visitors tell us!
You can’t beat having your own private outdoor space, and we’re proud of the pretty garden at our featured Cornwall holiday cottage, Great Weston Farmhouse. It’s sunny. It’s enclosed by abundant hedging, full of birds in spring and early summer, and flowers. Especially lashings of pink and red Valerian, a real seaside special that attracts all sorts of insects. Look out for amazing hummingbird-like hawk moths and various iridescent beetles at dusk. There’s sturdy garden furniture to relax on and the lawn is manicured beautifully, perfect for sunbathing or midnight picnics in the balmy seaside air.
The kitchen is a cook’s dream, beautifully equipped with granite worktops and pale wood units, designed to make the practical side of self catering cottages go nice and smoothly.
