About this property

Charming Cottage With Easy Access To The Eden Project, Lost Gardens Of Heligan

Brookside is a charming, South facing Cornish cottage that sits in a quiet country lane. The cottage is more than 150 years old and has been refurbished to a high standard, decorated in a simple,modern style yet retaining its period charm.
The cottage offers privacy when dining al-fresco on the patio plus spacious accommodation for six plus a cot with three bedrooms (two doubles, one twin) and a large family bathroom. The lounge-dining room has a huge original stone fireplace with an efficient wood-burning stove. Furnishings are modern yet invitingly comfy.
The cottage looks onto a peaceful,pretty lawned garden with rose bushes,edged by mature trees and shrubs with a natural granite slabbed patio area that faces south,enjoying direct sunlight all day long.Both front and rear gardens are private and fully enclosed by walls,fences and natural hedges. A wealth of mature plants and flowering shrubs (camellias, rhododendrons etc.) surround the property.There is ample parking at the front for several cars.
Just a short stroll along the lane is the village pub.The Polgooth Inn serves great local beers and food prepared using locally sourced produce.It`s a proper family-run place that welcomes children and animals and serves food all day both in the pub as well as the garden.There are more excellent pubs and restaurants within easy reach of Brookside, including Austells (3 mls.) and Kingswood (0.5 mls.)
There is a village shop/off-licence/post office, while larger supermarkets are within a mile or so.

Outstanding stay
Geoff and Jeanette are warm hosts who go out of their way to ensure you have a comfortable and idyllic stay. Cottage is outstanding - I was immaculate and beautiful. The garden is magical. Pub 200 yards away and a cute small holding adjacent. Tranquil and private setting. We took our dog and the stair gate they installed helped. We had a wonderful stay. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Nice house, plenty of space..lovely, quiet garden. Helpfull house owners. Great that there is both a washing machine and dryer. We only weren't used to plastic covers to protect the duvet, under the cover.

Nice spot for our familiy holiday!
We enjoyed our two week stay at Brookside, a peaceful place with a beautiful green closed garden, a nice house with a large kitchen, a nice design of the interior and enough space for 5 people. From here we started our visits to the next beaches and gardens. Dear friendly and helpful hosts, thank you!

An incredible stay
We cannot fault this cottage and the hosts. The cottage itself was immaculate when we arrived, you would not know there had been previous guests there that morning. The welcome pack was very generous and well received. The cottage and gardens were beautiful and in a lovely, peaceful location. The hosts were incredibly kind and friendly, even getting our washing off the line for us while we were out which we were very grateful for when it started raining! The cottage was lovely and spacious with everything we needed. We would 100% recommend and would love to go back soon.
