You’ve just arrived in West Cornwall for your holiday; you’ve stepped out of the car, had a bit of a stretch, taken a deep swig of fresh Cornish air, and listened to the deafening peace and quiet.
You’ve opened the front door of what will be your Cornish home for the next week or two and entered the stables, now the entrance hall, which once housed the ponies and cart to deliver the local post.
You’re shown to your room, the hayloft, now the master bedroom, prettily decorated with Cath Kidston furnishings, the original A-frame beams and strong granite walls.
Or maybe you’d prefer Cartwright’s, the original loft bedroom once reached by a ladder, cosy with a comfy bedstead.
Ivy’s overlooks the gardens and enjoys the last rays of the setting sun, just perfect for those travelling alone or part of a larger group.
Return via the main staircase, once the granite steps to the hayloft, and now a double storey conservatory, for afternoon tea.
That’s what Grove Cottage is offering – a real Cornish welcome.
Nestled in the higgledy piggledy hamlet of Trescowe, once the home of the village Cartwright. The stables, hayloft and carter’s store have been imaginatively restored to create a home with plenty of ambience.
Even new additions like the sitting room with a rounded end and central wood burner have been designed to fit in with the local farmsteads.
Set in sun all-day cottage gardens approaching an acre today’s home has been carefully converted to retain original features but add those little luxuries we so love.
Refreshed, next morning, you’ll be enjoying food that has never journeyed inside a supermarket lorry. You’ll find milk fresh from cows which graze Cornish clifftops, eggs laid that morning from a nearby farm, succulent gammons and bacon for breakfast, all meat sausages, hand-made bread from 'Promises and Piecrust' using organic flours; rye, white, granary and wholemeal - Cornish marmalade on Cornish toast –a great way to start the day |
