Ding Dong Cottages Cornwall - The Loft

T:01736 363677 stay@dingdongcottages.co.uk
A charming rural base for two, "The Loft" has a spacious upstairs living room
with stunning views in every direction. The well equipped ground floor kitchen
and adjacent dining room face South, catching the sun from dawn onwards and
giving fine views over the cottage garden and countryside beyond, to St
Michael's Mount and Mount's Bay, with the Lizard peninsular on the horizon,
twenty miles away.
BEDROOM: The tiny bedroom is up a short flight of loft type steps and has a
built in double bed with splendid sea views. Because of size limitations there
is only limited storage space in the bedroom - an under-bed space for a
suit-case etc, a cubby hole with lid behind the bed, a fabric 5-pocket hanging
storage unit, two shelves and a clothes hanging rail.
FACILITIES: The compact space below the bedroom consists of the WC (separate
door), hand-wash basin with Sadia wall heater and a curtained shower cubicle
with thermostatic temperature control, as well as an electrically heated towel
rail.

other rooms. An electric towel rail is fitted in the shower area and an electric
blanket for the bed is also included. There are Sadia type water heaters above
the sink and wash basin. All of the above are supplied from the £1 slot meter
but costs are usually very moderate as the cottage is well insulated. In
addition there is a 3Kw storage heater in the dining room and the power for that
is included in the rental. Hot water for the shower comes from our domestic
supply and is available at all times at no extra cost.
The charges are based upon two people staying and there may be a small surcharge

Ding Dong Cottages Cornwall - The Cabin

Tucked away at the end of our long and rather wild garden, The Cabin
provides uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside and
towards the sea. It is only a stone's throw from the Penwith moors, giving direct access to the nearby Men-an-Tol and Nine Maidens , with the north coast and its coastal path less than two miles away. |

FreeView box and a small refrigerator with freezer compartment. Cable connection

cooking utensils. The washroom has an excellent power shower, a pedestal wash
basin with hot and cold water and WC.

late evening - ideal for relaxing out of doors - and a small porch which forms a
natural sun trap and wind cheater.
The Cabin makes a perfect retreat for artists, naturalists and wildlife lovers
or for anyone just wishing to get away from city life or to be far from the
madding crowd.

Bal Cottage, The Loft and The Cabin, are situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, where rabbits gambol, buzzards hover and you may sometimes glimpse a fox, badger or barn owl. Although remote in feeling, the cottages are only five miles North of Penzance and within easy reach of St ives, Land's End, Marazion and Mousehole. They are ideally placed for walks over the surrounding moors and countryside, with many paths winding amongst gorse, heather and moorland flowers. It is even possible to see the sea on both coasts from our high vantage point; the North coast being only a couple of miles walk over the moors from here.
