Jobes Cottage

Semi-detached cottage with original charm and character set in an acre of gardens and woodland with exotic birds, tortoises, sheep, guinea pigs, ducks and more. Beach 5 miles, pub and shop 1 mile.

Wrapped in Cornish countryside and only 6 miles from the golden sands of Polzeath beach, Jobes Cottage sits unassumingly within an acre of land. Period features, friendly furry and feathered residents and simple, comfortable decor are what give this property it's homespun charm. After a day exploring Port Isaac, it's only a 5-mile drive back to base, where cream tea on the patio beckons.

The traditional stone exterior is mirrored inside by a large ornamental fireplace, tying in with slate floors and painted beams to give a rustic farmhouse feel. Snug, homely and thoughtfully furnished, this is a space made for happy holidays. Delight in views of sunny Cornish hills from the well-equipped kitchen, while you prepare hearty suppers or picnics for days on the beach. Kids will love running around in the large enclosed garden and meeting the owner's resident pets.

Only 11 miles away you can discover the legend of King Arthur, with a trip to Tintagel Castle. Get stuck into water sports in Rock (5 miles away) or take the ferry from here over to Padstow, where culinary delights await from fish and chips to fine dining. It's only 6 miles to the golden sands of Polzeath beach, for sandcastles, surf, and all things seaside. For the adventurous among you, surf lessons are available here, or take a 10-mile drive from your holiday home to the Camel Creek Adventure Park, for a fun-filled family day out.
