NEWLY REFURBISHED FOR 2024
Conveniently located in Downalong a short walk from just about everything,

Comfortable Boho styling of the cottage combines mid century pieces along side antiques and contemporary pieces. We’ve preserved many original features of the cottage: Victorian stripped floorboards, beamed ceilings, original timber walls and retaining a wonderful, cosy atmosphere.

Sunny living room with window seat, 3 seater John Lewis sofa, 2 Parker Knoll armchairs, GPlan coffee table, log burning stove.

Separate kitchen diner with scrub top pine table for comfortably seating 4 and well equipped kitchen with fridge freezer and dishwasher.

Spacious kingsize main bedroom with TV, twin room with full size single beds. Newlyrefurbished bathroom with rainfall shower.

Lovely enclosed, front courtyard benefiting from the sun for long periods of the day, furnished with bistro table and 4 chairs and string lights for dining al-fresco. Separate outside rear area for drying wetsuits etc and storing beach equipment

There is free very fast Starlink internet connection with WiFi available in the cottage, the smart TV’s have access to various streaming services.

Cosy. and well placed

Southern Comfort Cottage was clean, cosy and central to shops, restaurants and pubs but in a quiet backwater. Lovely log fire to cosy up to and big tele to watch our favourite films. If I was being picky there were not enough glasses including Prosecco flutes and whisky glasses and back door did not shut properly. We had some communication issues including not having code to access outside key safe but quickly sorted. All in all a great holiday in a great little cottage in a great place.

Very cute and quaint cottage but in need of some TLC

We stayed here for a weekend in October. We had a really lovely weekend and enjoyed the experience of staying in such an old quaint cottage. However, it is in need of some TLC and some basic things need updating as feels quite tired - if this is done it would make this a great place to stay. The location couldn’t be better in order to experience all st ives has to offer.

Thank you for your feedback, I hope that your stay was comfortable. We are just starting staged refurbishment and repairs on the cottage whilst retaining the character and originality, and hope to be complete by spring next year. I hope that you visit again. Anne

Even though I knew the cottage was olde worlde it was just a little bit to far for us. Some basic maintenance is required to just increase the experience a bit more
