Perfect the art of the countryside getaway at this snug, rural annexe that makes the perfect romantic bolthole for two amidst the rolling hills of Coombe, a hamlet in Mid Cornwall on the outskirts of Liskeard (6 miles). Bring along your walking boots, as the property is close to many picturesque walking trails. A highlight has to be Kit Hill Country Park (12.5 miles from Coombe): explore the 400 acres of heathland, archaeological remains and a summit rising 334 metres above sea level, with views to Dartmoor National Park and Bodmin Moor - plus a tearoom if you hoping for a more relaxed day out. Fancy a seaside trip? Visit scenic Looe (13 miles) for seafood and the sandy beach.
Put your feet up in your home from home; enter through the charming, coloured door into the open-plan, ground-floor living area that’s peppered with rustic, chic decor like light wood furnishings and chequered accessories. Relax in the armchair or on the sofa in front of the TV with streaming services. There’s a small dining table for two and a kitchenette tucked underneath the mezzanine. Head up the narrow staircase - not suitable for children or those with mobility problems - to the glass-fronted mezzanine above which benefits from a double bed and two Velux windows. More steps lead down to the bathroom that’s perfect for a soak after days of rural rambling.
Make special memories outdoors in the 13 acres of greenery where this annexe, and the main house, sit. Your shared garden is bordered by the River Tiddy and views reach to the rolling country hills beyond the property. Fire up the charcoal BBQ and dine at the table for two which stands on a paved area that overlooks the pond (unfenced and, again, unsuitable for children) and, of course, those lovely rural views: the perfect backdrop to a romantic getaway.
