Pine View Blackwater

Situated next to the owner's residence and located in the village of Blackwater with a pub and shop within 400 metres, yet just moments from endless countryside walks too. This detached cottage is great for ramblers and adventurers and is also ideally situated for the coast. Porthtowan, with its beachfront bars, is a short drive away (3.5 miles), and the surf awaits for those wanting to hire a board or SUP for the day. Stroll the South West Coast Path and enjoy the outstanding views from this rugged North Cornwall coastline, which is popular with walkers and bird spotters. Take a day trip to the cathedral city of Truro (9 miles) or Godrevy with its 3 miles of golden sands, just 12 miles away.

Enter into the wonderfully spacious yet cosy open-plan living space with vaulted ceilings, beaming natural light and hooks to hang up your outerwear. The modern and stylish kitchen area is equipped with everything you'll need for your holiday, whether it's preparing a picnic for a day's rambling or creating a romantic meal for a quiet evening at the dining table - play a game of cards or plan your next day's adventure. Snuggle up on the comfy sofa and watch your favourite films on the Smart TV. From here, retire to the beautifully styled king bedroom for a restful night's sleep complete with a dressing table and hanging space. Just off the kitchen area is the modern and contemporary shower room for freshening up.

Outside and to the front is a decked area with privacy screening and a variety of potted shrubs and plants (not mature, this added feature is new). There's bistro seating to dine alfresco on a summer's evening with the charcoal BBQ on the go.

Best for couples wanting a quiet countryside base near the coast path, with a private terrace for alfresco BBQs. Less good for anyone travelling with dogs, since the cottage doesn't accept them.

Nearby: Trevaunance Cove (3.5 miles) and Trevellas Cove (3.6 miles). See our Sinns Common guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
