About this property
Indian Queens 0.6 miles. Set in the quiet rural village of Fraddon, in the heart of Cornwall, is this delightful stone cottage. Blue Anchor provides a welcoming accommodation, with high-quality furnishings to ensure you get that home-from-home feel as soon as you walk through the door. Opening to a spacious lounge, with two large sofas, perfect for curling up of an evening while catching up with your favourite shows on the wall-mounted TV, also benefitting from a stone inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove for that added extra warmth during those winter months. The dining area also has a woodburning stove, giving the room a warm ambience, while six people can gather around the dining table for a family dinner. The kitchen is wonderfully appointed to the rear of the cottage, with all contemporary appliances on-hand to help you cook up a storm for the whole family. A family shower room completes the ground floor. As the day draws to a close, follow the steps up to the first floor, offering three bedrooms: one king-size, one double and one twin, the master boasting an en-suite bathroom, where you can retreat to a warming bath tub for a relaxing soak with a well-deserved glass of wine. To the rear of the property, there is a lawned garden and gravelled area with furniture provided. Why not whip up some summer treats on the Weber style drum BBQ while sun sets, relaxing with a cold drink, and let your little ones run freely in the enclosed space. While you’re in the area, why not take a drive to the bustling town of Newquay? With its picturesque sandy beaches and nearby cafés for a spot of lunch, plus the wonderful Pirate’s Quest attraction, featuring actors, special effects and elaborate sets which your little ones will delight in. Or visit a variety of historic mansions, including the 16th century manor house Trerice, offering period furnishings and a formal Tudor garden. Blue Anchor is the perfect choice for a remote country retreat with your family.

The weather was lovely whilst we were there but we could not use the garden as it was all over grown and the table and chairs were rotten. The Blue Anchor pub which is directly opposite the cottage was great, we parked two cars on their car park and ate there twice, their gluten free offers were brilliant.

The cottage was extremely comfortable and was a perfect base for us during our week's holiday. Things to note which would help those who stay in the future: 1. put a mop or long handled water wiper in the downstairs bathroom. When using the shower the water would spray onto the bathroom floor and make it wet to stand on. This would save using towels to dry the floor. 2. I found it difficult to lock the front door from the outside, it was OK locking it from the inside. We used the back door the majority of the week. 3. No matches for the log burner. 4. No food container for scraps although this was stated in the house folder.
