Little Barncroft

If you were looking for cottages like Little Barncroft, how about trying these:

Not far from the beautiful Helford River, Little Barncroft lies down a quiet country lane in a secluded valley a mile from Grebe beach, tiny Durgan village, Trebah Garden and the National Trust’s Glendurgan garden. This peaceful setting belies the proximity of Mawnan Smith’s excellent pub and village shops just a mile away, with bustling Falmouth also only a few minutes’ drive. The spectacular coastal footpath passes nearby, watersports are available at Helford Passage, and Budock Vean has a renowned golf course. An annexe to the Housekeeper’s home, where her family live with their friendly dog, the cottage has reversed accommodation. Two pretty bedrooms, the bathroom and laundry-room are downstairs, the oak-floored living-room above decorated in soft blue and white. The dining-table, with tall stools, is the wide breakfast-bar dividing the kitchen from the sitting-area, which has French doors opening onto the decked balcony where steps lead down to an enclosed lawn (please take care).
