About this property
A characterful, stone-built cottage, originally a barn, situated within 7 acres of land that was once part of the historic Whiteford Estate, 1 mile from the village of Stoke Climsland and 3 miles from the market town of Callington. The interior of this spacious property enjoys traditional features including exposed beams, oak flooring, and two wood-burning stoves, offering a charming base to come back to each evening. This superb property comes with three well-presented bedrooms, comprising a king-size with an en-suite bathroom, and a king-size and a double with shared use of a Jack-and-Jill en-suite. Look forward to preparing delicious meals in the stylish kitchen before gathering around the dining table to plan the days ahead. After dinner, choose to unwind in either the sitting room, which features a wood-burning stove, the snug with its mini-library, or the garden room, which enjoys views of the walled outdoor area. This peaceful, quiet retreat nevertheless enjoys easy access to main roads leading to the north and south coasts

We didn't eat in at all, except for light breakfasts, as we prefer to eat out when on holiday, but should you wish to cook, the kitchen is complete with everything you need. Everywhere is immaculate and furnished to a much higher standard than you would expect to find in a holiday let. The beds are super comfortable and we all slept very well. There is a very generous welcome basket waiting for you when you arrive. Due to the weather and time of year, we didn't sit out in the beautiful, peaceful gardens. We hope to do that next year as we would love to stay again in the spring/summer months.

The cottage and garden are wonderful. There is so much space, with excellent facilities for a home from home experience. Liz couldn't be a better host, although we didn't meet in person, we did exchange a few text messages. The welcome pack is very helpful and tasty. Whiteford is an excellent location with perfect peace but within easy drive of many attractions and supermarkets. Highly recommend Bodmin Moor to see the neolithic site, with lunch/dinner in the Crows Nest 17th century inn, or the Manor House at Rilla Mill. Tintagel and Cotehele well worth a visit. We didn't want to leave and would love to live here.

This was the 3rd time we have stayed at The Grooms House over the past couple of years and are booked to visit again late this Summer. This property has everything you need for a thoroughly enjoyable break. We visit as a couple and along with the space, it gives you everything you need for a perfect holiday with no intrusion and the feeling of being in the beautiful countryside. The property as you will see from the pictures is high end for a holiday home. The garden is private, well kept and the sound of nature gives the feeling of "getting away from it all". The welcome pack (& info) is excellent and thoughtful like all of the other considerations throughout the house. Kitchen appliances are excellent and the WIFI is high speed. Sadly, but conveniently it allows us to log in to work if we need to... The owner of this property really has given attention to detail which gives a sense that your stay is important. Its always clean and everything works.. The location is great for peace & quiet after a long day out exploring this part of Cornwall. From The Grooms House you are only a short distance away from an abundance of great places to visit; Cothele, Gothlia Falls, Lydford Gorge and further such as Looe (up to 40 mins), Polperro, Tintagel, St Nectans Glen, Boscastle, Bude, Bodmin, The Camel Trail.. Padstow, Fowey etc.. such a wide choice of places. If you want a fantastic break, this is where you should stay.
