Bedroom 1
Set in its own orchard garden on the edge of our 22-acre estate, Heather Barn is a spacious (1000 sq ft) award-winning single-storey accessible holiday cottage of the highest standard. The cottage is all on one level, so is perfect for the less mobile guest, for wheelchair users and for toddlers. Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. Bedroom 1 has a level-entry wetroom and stylish chrome and stainless steel grab rails and fittings. This bedroom has a wall-mounted smart-TV. Bedroom 2 has a shower bath. In both bedrooms, the beds have pocket sprung ziplink mattresses and can either be arranged as a superking double or as twin beds. Internal doorways are all 840mm wide and there is space in all rooms for turning circles of 1200-1500mm. The large (480 sq ft) open plan sitting/dining/kitchen area is double height, with exposed beams, quadruple doors and a part-glass roof, creating a really light and airy space with great views over the orchard garden to the far hills. The wardrobes in both bedrooms have a pull-down hanging rail which swings down to stand on the floor, making it easier to hang up and choose your clothes.
The style is modern – comfortable grey leather sofas and hardwood furniture. The solid oak kitchen is superbly equipped with coffee machine, microwave, ceramic hob, fan oven, fridge freezer, washer/dryer, dishwasher, quality pans, crockery and cutlery, and everything you need to cook up a storm! Like all our cottages, this accessible holiday cottage also has a strong sustainability bias, with underfloor heating (powered by our central biomass boiler), bamboo flooring and low energy lighting throughout.
Outside, the level entry south-west facing terrace has great views over the orchard garden to the hills beyond. There is exterior lighting, a Weber gas barbecue, outdoor sofas and table, and a large private lawn area, as well as plenty of parking. The hot tub (pictured below) sits on a deck outside the cottage, and is covered with a gazebo (so you won’t get wet from above!). The hot tub covers are lockable, so cannot be accessed accidentally by children. The cottage is very dog-friendly – the area behind the hot tub is fully enclosed with a picket fence and two gates, so there is a secure area for dogs (but without spoiling the view from the hot tub). We also have a bigger secure dog-walking area (“Central Bark”), with an access gate just the other side of the hedge from Heather Barn, which has mown paths, benches, a loop through the woods, poo bins, and some lovely sculptures for onsite walks. Central Bark also leads on to a couple of other large fenced fields, which are excellent rabbit-chasing territory!
We are very proud to have won the Gold Award in the Cornwall Tourism Awards for Access & Inclusivity in 2015, and the Silver in 2016/17, as well as the Gold in 2016/17 for Best Dog-friendly Business in Cornwall.
