Gold Award 4* Farm Cottage with Aqua Massage Spa Bath
Centrally Situated for visiting Cornwall, minutes from the A30 and the Eden Project
Sleeps 4 (2 Bedrooms)
|
|
From the upstairs living room, patio doors open out onto the veranda from where there are panoramic views across the valley towards Breney Common and Helman Tor. You can watch the rising sun and eat alfresco, or gaze at the stars on a clear, quiet evening. The cottage has its own private parking area and garden with barbecue and garden furniture. This traditional cottage adjoins the original farm cottage, both built with cob walls and slate roofs. Tor View is the perfect base for your walking or cycling holiday, with extensive tracts of moorland, heathland and woodland nearby - and yet you won't feel guilty if you decide to just sit and relax. Tor View is alongside the Saints Way Walking route and the Network 3 cycle route.

About the owner
Hello. We are Neil and Clare Hugo who run a family farm in the heart of Cornwall. We have four children - two sons who now work on the farm and two girls, one of whom is studying to be an art teacher and the other is a teenager still at secondary school. We have a pet pig called Kevin who is adorable; two lovely horses, Fern and Gypsy and a keen goalkeeping dog called Kean.
Year purchased: 2005
Why the owner chose a home in this location
When the cottage next door came up for sale in 2005, we had already fallen in love with it and decided we had to buy. It was the original farmhouse with the cow shed attached to one end. The previous owners had converted the cow shed into accommodation so it was perfect for letting as two properties. We long let one of the cottages. The other cottage has the living area and veranda upstairs taking advantage of the spectacular, panoramic views.
Unique benefits of the property
Watching the stars on a clear evening, listening to the birds with no traffic in the back ground, watching the sun rise on a clear, misty morning, opening the window and saying hello to the horses are just a few of the benefits of staying in our beautiful Cornish cottage.
