Welcoming four guests and your canine companion, this delightful cottage is set in the sleepy village of St Teath, amongst the rolling Cornish countryside. Oozing with character and charm, this home is super welcoming and boasts a lovely, enclosed garden where you can soak up the sun, enjoy dining alfresco, and spend evenings enjoying a tipple as you reflect on the day’s events.

On entering, you will be welcomed by a bright and airy space. The dual-aspect lounge has a beamed ceiling and plenty of comfortable seating, an ideal spot for relaxing and unwinding, or playing games together as a group. The pretty shaker-style kitchen/diner has a dining table seating four guests, as well as a breakfast bar, so the chefs of the group can have some company while rustling up tasty meals.

To the rear of the cottage, accessed via a side gate, is a pretty garden with seating and a lawn area.

Such a lovely cottage. Perfect for our young family. Very relaxing, homely and peaceful. We absolutely loved our stay here. Appreciated the little extra child friendly touches little step stool so little ones can reach the sink and wash their hands independently, children's cutlery, plastic cups and Tupperware which was handy for lunchboxes. Also Read morethere is a stair gate on the twin bedroom (top of stairs) which gave me massive peace of mind for wandering children in the night! Kitchen was well equipped with everything we could possibly need. We also made use of some shopping bags/clothes airer and heater we found in the understairs cupboard. Its so peaceful in St Teath we all slept really, really well. Beds were the comfiest I have slept in. We visited lots of places in cornwall and Shillingstones was the perfect base to return to every evening. Local pub did absolutely amazing food as well! Honestly could not find one fault with our holiday cottage. Absolutely perfect. Oh and Dog friendly too Hide

The cottage is absolutely lovely. Highly recommend the White Hart Inn (1 min walk) and the local cafe is great. Dog walks - go to Rock beach dog friendly all year round. There is also a good walk at Davidstow Airfield. Tintagel is a must! Absolutely loved our stay.

Very nice cottage, clean and well equipped, grass had not been cut this year, complained and it was cut during the stay. Parking a bit of an issue as no allocated space, so needed to take pot luck.

House could have done with a few more toilet rolls! One per toilet seemed a little stingy and maybe some basic products to protect their cooking equipment, ie oil, we decided not to fry our bacon on realising we hadn't bought oil but other people might just try to cook without and it'll end up damaging their equipment. And grass needed mowing as itRead more was too long for our 1 year old to play in and would have been difficult for us to pick dog mess out of if wed let the dog ise it instead, so we couldnt use the garden at all. We would have mown the lawn ourselves but there wasnt a mower. very minor things but they would have made it a 10/10 holiday not a 9.5/10 holiday Hide
