The Prophet's House

A delightful cottage, situated in a fantastic central location and short distance from the railway line, with delightful views and a host of walks right from the doorstep.

Whisk away your loved one for a romantic getaway for two – plus the dogs – in this cosy cottage in the small Cornish town of St Blazey. With a warming wood burner in the lounge and a south-facing patio garden outside, this is a great choice for year-round getaways. Its central location makes this a handy property for couples hoping to abandon the car for a few days, with a host of amenities, a dog-friendly beach and mainline train station connecting to St Austell (3.5 miles), Camborne (33.5 miles) and Penzance (46.5 miles) within 2 miles of the front door.

Inside, this modern hideaway has all the right ingredients for a romantic retreat. Cook up a storm in the stylish kitchen, kitted out with everything you could need, before tucking into a candlelit meal at the dining table in the lounge. Afterwards, hunker down on the cosy sofa and settle in for a night in front of the TV while your four-legged friend keeps warm beside the roaring wood burner. Finished in serene neutral tones and with a large window framing the distant countryside views, the double bedroom is a welcoming space to retire to after a long day spent exploring this beautiful county. Outside, the sunny patio garden is a pleasant spot for enjoying a morning cup of coffee while planning the day ahead.

Set out on foot from the property to find a host of amenities on the doorstep, including takeaways, village shops, cafes and pubs. A 2-mile walk will bring you to Spit Beach and Par Sands, which both welcome dogs all year round. From here, you can join the scenic South West Coast Path, heading east towards the picturesque town of Fowey (5 miles) or west towards the Georgian working port of Charlestown (2.5 miles). Head inland to visit the magnificent Eden Project (1.5 miles) or south for The Lost Gardens of Heligan (11.5 miles), or take to the green with a round on one of the four nearby championship golf courses including Carlyon Bay (2 miles) and Porthpean (4 miles).

Dogs are charged at $23 each per full or part week.
