Poppys Annexe

This pretty property, located in a wing of the main house, enjoys a tranquil rural location, with a pub and shop just one mile away. The harbour town of Mevagissey is a fifteen-minute drive away, worth a wander round its narrow streets, watching the fishing boats come in and trying one of the harbour-side restaurants. Truro is only a 10 minute drive where you can enjoy an abundance of shops and restaurants. Fowey, another well known harbour town is great for a day out. The Lost Gardens of Heligan are also very close by, as is the beautiful Georgian town of Charlestown, with its tall ships moored in the harbour, shipwreck museum, and sandy beach. Or why not take a day trip and explore what the North Cornish Coast has to offer.

This cottage-style annexe is a wonderful place to spend some time away from the stresses of everyday life. Entering the property up two shallow steps from the enclosed patio brings guests straight into the lounge/diner, with its comfortable seating, TV and DVD, ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the local area. The separate kitchen, though compact, is contemporary and stylish and is equipped with an oven, hob, fridge, and microwave. The shower room with WC is also located on the ground floor. Stairs from the lounge/diner lead straight to the property’s bedroom: a relaxing double, with bedside tables and cupboard space.

Outside, the property benefits from its own pretty patio area, which provides space for alfresco dining or a quiet drink as the sun goes down. In addition to this area, guests are also able to enjoy the four acres of grounds belonging to the main house.

Best for couples wanting a quiet rural base within reach of Mevagissey and the Lost Gardens of Heligan, with four acres of shared grounds to explore. Less good for anyone travelling with dogs, since the annexe does not accept them.
