General information
We want you to enjoy staying here as much as we enjoy living in the adjoining cottage and will welcome you with a complimentary cream tea. We can arrange to have the fridge stocked ready for your arrival, with local produce where possible. You will find lots of useful information leaflets in the cottage about where to go and what to do and you are welcome to borrow the Ordnance Survey maps of the surrounding area.

There are no hidden charges - all fuel and electricity are included in the rental. We aim to keep the cottage supplied with all the basics such as toilet rolls, washing up liquid and kitchen essentials. Bed linen, bathroom towels and tea towels are provided but please bring your own towels for beach/swimming use. We hold a SECTA Green Acorn Award for our contribution to sustainable tourism and commitment to the environment and hope you will support us in our recycling and energy saving efforts.

We operate a no-smoking policy in the cottage and regret that we cannot accommodate your pets. Mobile phone reception is generally good here.

There is a General Stores with a Post Office counter in the pretty village of St. Germans. The nearest supermarkets and banks are in Liskeard, Torpoint and Saltash. There are cafés and restaurants nearby and pubs serving food in St. Germans, Hessenford and Tideford where there is also a good butcher. Looe has a wide choice of places to eat and hosts Taste South East food events throughout the year. For retail therapy you need to go no further than across the road to Kernow Mill for clothing, gifts and golfing equipment, whilst the cities of Plymouth and Truro both offer a full range of shops.

Access Statement: The cottage is accessed from the gravelled parking area over a slate patio. A cobbled and paved path leads to the outside shower room and there is one step up to the lawn. There is a small pond and a well in the garden. Inside, the original slate floor is uneven and partly covered with rugs. Because of the beams, headroom is restricted in the living room (6ft max). A twisting wooden staircase with handrails leads upstairs to a landing with a step into the bedroom and a step to the bathroom. The old wooden floorboards in the bedroom slope and there are bedside rugs. Electric sockets are at skirting board level apart from in the kitchen where they are at worktop level.
