Grooms Cottage, Cornwall

This grade II listed, detached, 18th century, ‘upside down’, former groom’s cottage is right in the heart of the sleepy village of St Minver. A stylishly renovated property, it provides lovely, all-year-round family accommodation in this popular part of north Cornwall. Steps up from the private courtyard at the front of the cottage lead to a glazed front door and hallway with traditional flagstone floor and three ground floor bedrooms, a four-poster double with en suite bathroom, another double, a twin and a separate shower room. Also on this floor a very useful utility room with a further shower cubicle. Up on the first floor, an open plan living area with a well-equipped kitchen, dining area and cosy sitting area with wood burning stove, perfect for planning the day ahead’s adventures. Outside, a private courtyard with garden furniture and barbecue, and a terraced garden at the back, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. If you're feeling energetic, try out the water sports centre and sailing school at Rock, just 2 miles away where you can catch a foot ferry across the Camel estuary to lively Padstow. For golfing fanatics, there’s a fine course at St Enodoc. In a peaceful location, this is an excellent cottage for families with easy access to north Cornwall's beaches and attractions.
