Primrose Cottage

Primrose Cottage: Cornwall

Newly renovated, this stylish property with bags of character in the delightful village of Tywardreath (pronounced 'Taow-dreth', for those wondering). A historic stone cottage with beautiful period features, it boasts a uniquely charming blend of a traditional feel with all the modern decor and appliances you could need for a comfortable, memorable stay.

Just a short walk to local village shops and pubs, and a stone's throw from the captivating Cornish coastline that has inspired a thousand writers and artists over the centuries, this home provides the ideal base for experiencing all the very best that the South-West has to offer.

Take the ten-minute walk to the pristine sands of the dog-friendly Par Beach, or head over to the dramatic cliffs of Carlyon Bay or the sheltered bay of Polkerris, which are both also nearby and offer a selection of eateries along the shoreline. For those with a hankering for hiking, there are plenty of lovely walking trails right out of the front door, including some of the most varied stretches of the South West Coast Path. The ever-popular seaside town of Fowey is also within easy reach, and if you fancy getting out on the water itself then some of Cornwall's best paddle-boarding can be enjoyed at nearby Golant.

No matter how you end up spending the day, you can always look forward to returning to this traditional yet chicly-finished cottage. As soon as you step through the doors, you'll be greeted by a warm and cosy interior that's really brought to life by the addition of funky patterned wallpaper, notes of brilliant blue, and eye-catching original stone detailing. Sink into the generous sofas in front of the feature fireplace with log burner or crack open the family board games to fire up a little friendly competition. There are also children's DVDs and even a toy chest to keep the little ones entertained, making this an ideal space to unwind after a long day of exploring the coast.

Alternatively, why not catch the last of the evening sun out on the patio or the raised lawn area? Or enjoy a glass of wine in the enclosed courtyard while dinner's underway in the traditional Aga-style oven? Ah, it's the simple things...
