The property

Poldark Home is a lovely, charming character cottage in East Taphouse, Cornwall, that is part of a wonderfully restored courtyard of ancient farm buildings known as Higher Penhole Farm Cottages.

The cottage, which is thought to have originally been part of the Lanhydrock Estate, is ideal for couples searching for a secluded hideaway close to the south coast.

The cottage is reached from the brick paved parking area, over a wide private grass to the inner garden patio area, which leads to the front porch, in a very secluded setting.

The sun-drenched patio area is bordered by shrubs and flowers, making it ideal for afternoon tea, late cocktails, or an alfresco dining at any time.

The serenity and quiet of the Cornish countryside will greet you the moment you step out of your car, interrupted only by the sounds of the wild birds that inhabit the surrounding trees.

Views south across the surrounding farms and down the forested valley to the ancient deer park can be enjoyed from the garden gate.

Because light pollution is limited at night, you will be awestruck by the sight of millions of stars and planets if the skies are clear.

A three-seater sofa and a two-seater sofa in the parlour, as well as a magnificent king-size bed in the bedroom that is the same size as the lounge, are among the cottage's high-end furnishings.

The tiled en-suite bathroom has a double walk-in shower and a heated towel rail to keep towels warm and dry.

An electric fire in the living, an oil-filled electric radiator in the corridor with a thermostat, and an electric log burner-effect stove in the bedroom offer heat in the cottage.

A well-equipped kitchen has a full-sized under-counter refrigerator with ice compartment, a double oven with ceramic cooktop, a microwave oven, a dishwasher, and a washer/dryer (a washing line and pegs are available), as well as a variety of other culinary appliances.

There is a huge flat-screen freeview TV and DVD player in the lounge, as well as a small music centre with CD player and a variety of DVDs and CDs for you to enjoy when you want to unwind after a full day at the beach or seeing Cornwall's charms.

In the bedroom, there is also a TV and DVD player, as well as a small collection of books and games to enjoy.

Poldark Cottage is only nine miles from both Polperro and Looe, two ancient fishing communities; at Looe, there is also a great beach to enjoy while still having access to the stores, pubs, cafes, and restaurants that are scattered around the town.

You may also take boat cruises from the town centre, such as fishing expeditions and tours of Looe Island, which is now a well-known nature haven.

Poldark Cottage is approximately seven miles from Lostwithiel, the former ancient capital of Cornwall and where the Black Knight once resided at Restormel Castle, which you can visit if you like, and the nautical village of Fowey, noted for its associations with Daphne du Maurier.

It's a charming village with a variety of stores, including antique shops, cafes and restaurants, and a few bars.

Whatever sports or activities you love, whether it's walking, swimming, surfing, sailing, or cycling, or simply resting and admiring the landscape, there's plenty to do in this beautiful section of Cornwall.

The adjoining property reference 915191 can be booked with a Saturday start day, which can increase accommodation to six people.

Poldark Cottage is an ideal base for a romantic getaway in Cornwall for a couple.

Note: This cottage is next to Ref. 915191 and 1010127, together sleeping up to 10 people.
