What a find! - we managed to book one of these wonderful cottages for just £99 a night (last min booking!).
There are 2 rows of terraced cottages, one very modern looking curved set of 5 and one more traditional row of stone cottages (also 5 cottages in this row) - all cottages are new, only finished in september 2008.
The finish is superb - no corners cut, the kitchen, bathrooms (yes that is plural!) & all curtains, towels & furnishings are obviously of really high quality.
Each kitchen is fully equipped, including a freezer / fridge & dishwasher (they even supply dishwasher tablets & teatowels!!).
It was wonderful to arrive to find tea bags & (UHT) milk ready to make a good old cup of tea before unpacking the car!
There is a reception area on site (though this is rarely staffed - we didn't find this to be a problem as there was EVERYTHING we needed, and more, and there was no need at all to complain!!). Our cottage keys & welcome pack were waiting for us!
A huge draw for us was the onsite indoor swimming pool - small but great for a quiet dip after a long hot day walking around the eden project - or the much more interesting lost gardens of heligan.
There is also a lovely childrens play area to the rear of the pool building which would be visible from the modern row of cottages.
We stayed in cottage number 2, (cottage 1 and 2 don't have any grass in the back garden - just patio, but it was fine! - even a brick built bar-b-q & really comfortable expensive looking out-door furniture!).
The row of traditional terraced cottages look out onto the small carpark to the rear and then open country-side, with cows grazing and amazing views! - I could gaze for hours at!
Our cottage was 2 bedroomed (I think they all are: one twin & one double) the double, to the rear of the property had an ensuite shower room with loo & washbasin. off the landing there was also a family bathroom (bath only - no shower). Downstairs there was also a downstairs loo & shower room (this would be great for anyone using the sofa bed; if slept to capacity these wonderful cottages sleep 6 adults!).
There is a flatscreen TV in each bedroom & a lovely big TV & DVD player in the lounge area. An added bonus is free wireless internet connection (should you fancy taking your laptop! - though personally I'd rather just relax!).
What I did find charming was the honesty box in the fridge at reception, where you could purchase bare essentials, milk, eggs, local honey & locally made jam. (there is a supermarket not too far away!)
Dogs are permitted in the cottages (though not sure I dare take on - the cottages are SO immaculate!).
You have quite a walk to the nearest restaurant or pub should you want that sort of thing but with a fully equipped kitchen and better yet BBQ why not just get that charcoal lit and sit back with a lovely chilled glass of wine & enjoy the wonderful views!
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend these charming cottages! - totally stunning!
don't just sit there! - book them NOW!
