The Blue House

The Blue House is one of four properties that used to make up an old chapel. Positioned along a pretty street that gently curves to the water’s edge, this stunning, three storey cottage is in a prime location. The sky blue exterior of makes for a quirky but inviting welcome and alongside the white picket fence, traditional white, wooden door and square framed windows, The Blue House is charming and pretty.

Stepping into the cottage guests are greeted with a long entrance hall and a traditional cottage layout. The main living and dining area have been opened up to create one large, bright room that takes full advantage of the large front window. The wooden floorboards are an original feature and add bags of character and warmth.

The atmosphere of this room is cool and inviting.

The second floor of the cottage is home to the master bedroom, second bedroom and family bathroom.

The master bedroom is a good size, with a king-size bed and decorated to an equally high standard as the rest of the property. This room is a tranquil space, the white walls are refreshing and the white wooden furniture provides plenty of storage without being imposing. There are twin bedside tables, a large chest of drawers and free standing wardrobe, meaning guests can hide away their luggage and truly escape. The crisp white bed linen promises a relaxing night’s sleep, and with fitted blinds at the windows, guests can wake up gradually to the Cornish sunshine.

The second bedroom features twin single beds and is a continuation of the decor of the master. In both of these rooms there are nautical themed touches with soft furnishings and ornaments, and these are both charming and quaint. A large freestanding wardrobe provides ample storage.

The family bathroom is accessed easily by both of the bedrooms, and home to more of the beautiful Cornish slate. With white walls and a clean white suite, this room is inviting for guests wishing to run a hot bath and escape for some peace and quiet.

On the third floor of the property and nestled into the eves of the cottage is the third bedroom with twin single beds, and this is a cosy and modern space.

This bedroom also has access to a separate shower room, mimicking the decor of the family bathroom downstairs.
