One of the Tregothnan Estate's Wild Escapes, Bethel Cottage is one of those cottages you just dream about. In a beautiful creekside setting, surrounded by rolling countryside, this cottage has been recently refurbished to provide the perfect peaceful retreat for those looking for a complete escape. Watch the wildlife on the incoming tide from your bedroom window, wander along the creekside path through unique plum orchards or in the winter relax beside the cosy woodburning stove. The quintessential escape, yet only 10 minutes drive from Truro with its superb shops & restaurants.
Bethel Cottage is a traditional creekside Cornish cottage with a cosy character lounge, newly fitted kitchen complete with warming wood burning stove and 2 bedrooms, both full of character. The main bedroom has wonderful views over the creek and there is an incredibly relaxing bathroom with a free standing bath from which you can enjoy views! The cottage is surrounded by farmland with only 2 other empty cottages nearby (about 150 yards).
