Delightful detached converted sail loft in St Martin. Attractive interior. Countryside setting and close to The Lizard coast.
Helford 3 miles.
This transformed former sail loft provides a romantic getaway in the small village of St Martin, three miles from Helford. This detached stone built cottage is surrounded by picturesque countryside. The cushions, curtains, rugs, ornaments and artwork create a festival of colour and interest against the neutral decor and heavy classic furniture.
A stylish retreat for two, the ground floor is open plan with living area, kitchen and dining area. The shower room is conveniently placed on the ground floor. Stairs lead you to a sumptuous and spacious bedroom oozing restfulness.
The enclosed decked patio is a glorious spot to sit and relax with a book or board game provided at the cottage. There is off-road parking for one car. Surrounded by creekside woodlands this cottage has easy access to scenic footpaths, riverside taverns, tranquil beaches and hidden creeks along the beautiful Helford River.
Maritime Falmouth resort, the cathedral city of Truro and the hidden coves and beaches of the Lizard Peninsula are all within a short drive offering adventure and fun. Take to the water on the passenger ferry (operates 1st Apr-31st Oct) to explore the sub-tropical gardens at Trebah and Glendurgan, the pretty fishing village of Durgan or the famed Frenchman's Creek. Perfectly located to enjoy a romantic rendezvous and explore Cornwall, Bolitho's Retreat is a wonderful retreat to return to after memorable days out.
Pet Friendly

Fantastic base to explore the lizard peninsula
We've just returned from a fantastic 5 day break at Bolitho's retreat. We adored the accommodation; it was open plan, modern, comfortable, well equipped and dog friendly. We loved the private sun terrace any enjoyed a good number of bbq's on there during our visit.The area is very beautiful, quiet and rural which suited us down to the ground. The local village of Gweek was really charming and we enjoyed visiting the pub there during our stay. Thank you to our lovely hosts for the detailed information provided in the lead up to our visit and for the tasty treats on arrival. Cannot rate this accommodation highly enough as the perfect rural getaway in a stunning part of the world. Thank you!
