With its thoughtful furnishings, character features, and inviting outdoor space, Artist Cottage provides the perfect setting for a memorable Cornish escape at any time of year - for both you and your four-legged companion.

The principal entrance to Artist Cottage is via traditional granite steps to the first floor and leads into the carefully planned kitchen/diner. The kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, electric oven, fridge, dishwasher, microwave and coffee machine. The bespoke dining table ensures the lay out is great to cook and enjoy fresh local produce. Take a few stairs up from the kitchen into the sitting room with TV and DVD player, the room gives a sense of light and space having a vaulted ceiling and bi-fold doors to the balcony and courtyard garden.

The main bedroom is a few steps up from the sitting room and has a king-size bed and adjacent shower room with wash basin and WC. There is a quiet nook in the attic which is perfect to read a holiday novel and enjoy a glass of wine. An attractive wooden spiral staircase leads from the sitting room down to two further double bedrooms on the ground floor where there is also a second entrance to the property. Bedroom two has a double bed and door out to the courtyard with the third bedroom having two single beds. The family bathroom on the ground floor has a walk-in shower, wash hand basin and WC.
