Opening details: Open All Year
A traditional four-bedroom cottage in peaceful, rural hamlet. Close to Heligan Gardens, Mevagissey (1 mile) and the beaches at Gorran Haven
Terra Nova has plenty of space for 8, but smaller groups are very welcome and we are happy to reduce the rate.
The cottage has a sunny south facing aspect with views over fields & woodland to Heligan gardens and the sea at Mevagissey.
The cottage was once a farmhouse and dates back a long way. It was named by a sea captain who went to the New World. Kestle must have been peaceful by comparison.
After a graceful fall into ivy-filled decline, the local family who had lived here for several generations (and have now outgrown it) have this year carefully refurbished it throughout. It has central heating, modern kitchen and comfortable facilities, but retains a lot of its older character. It must have been a lovely place to grow up. Fine, old fashioned countryside all around.
There's a large lawned garden and a paved area near the house with garden furniture and BBQ etc. A conservatory opens onto the garden, and links the patio with the living room.
Parking for 3 cars in gravelled courtyard in front of the house.
(Also, you can take advantage of Free Parking in the Gorran Haven Car park when going to the beach or walking the coast paths around Gorran Haven).
There are four good sized bedrooms, one en suite, a family bathroom and wetroom with shower, 3 WCs.; Sittingroom, diningroom and kitchen with breakfast table. Dishwasher, Tumble dryer, central heating.
Cot & highchair. Linen and towels provided, electricity included.
