Pond Cottage

Pond Cottage is a single-storey converted barn near the village of Stithians, 7 miles from Falmouth in central Cornwall. The property sleeps 2 in one king-size double bedroom, making it well suited for couples looking for a quiet rural base.

The open-plan living area includes a kitchen with electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, and washing machine. A separate dining area sits alongside. The bathroom has both a bath and a shower cubicle. Oil central heating keeps the cottage warm, and a TV with Freeview and DVD player is provided. Fuel, power, bed linen, and towels are all included in the rental price.

Outside, the cottage grounds feature a lawn, patio, and a pond with a stream running . Off-road parking is available for 2 cars, and a shared EV charger is on site. The property does not accept pets, and no smoking is permitted. A cot and highchair are available on request.

The nearest shop and pub are both a 20-minute walk away. Maenporth Beach, Swanpool Beach, and Gyllyngvase Beach are each about 5.6 miles distant, providing easy access to Falmouth's coastline. Truro, Cornwall's county city, is roughly 20 minutes by car. Prices start from 1,828 per week, with Friday changeovers required between April and September.

Suits couples who want a quiet rural base in a single-storey barn conversion. Less good for guests who want a pub or shop close by: both are a 20-minute walk away. Not suitable for pets.
