About this property
12 Faraway Fields is the perfect choice for two people looking for a romantic break away and arguably the best positioned home on the entire development, sitting on the edge of a small lake and commanding stunning views over the neighbouring farmland and distant countryside. This stylish lodge offers a spacious open-plan living space with lovely contemporary furnishings making it a welcoming place to unwind of an evening. Curl up on one of the two comfy sofas with your partner and catch up on all your favourite shows, or gaze through the patio doors leading out to the garden showcasing wonderful countryside views. The kitchen is luxuriously fitted with a cooking range and all you could need to rustle up a delightful romantic meal for two, to be enjoyed at the dining room table, where you can also plan the day's events. Down the hall is a large double bedroom with matching bedside tables and lamps, ideal for some late-night reading, or enjoy the delightful wall-mounted TV to watch your favourite shows of an evening right from your bed! A luxurious en-suite houses a double sized walk-in shower with high quality fixtures and fittings. The bedroom also offers a dressing area, so you can prepare for your day in style. Outside is a decking area, with furniture you can sit out on and enjoy the country views with a refreshing glass of wine. Indulge in the provided hot tub and have a long soak in the evening sun, taking in this picturesque location. While you're in the area, take a drive towards St Neot, where you will discover the lovely hidden gem of Carnglaze Caverns - a set of underground, man-made caves in a former slate mine with lakes and a dedicated area for events and concerts. For an exceptional taste of history, drive towards Trevethy Quoit, a megalithic tomb, with five standing stones, suggested to date back to the Stone Age. For plenty more amenities, travel towards the coastal town of Looe, which offers plenty of shops, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets for you to explore, including East Looe beach for a lovely sandy beach, swimming and surfing opportunities. It has easy access to the North Cornwall coast, with an abundance of activities available. If you would rather stay closer to home but enjoy fine food, why not try our Old Mill Bar and Restaurant on our sister site just a short drive away. Use 12 Faraway Fields as your base for exploring all Cornwall has to offer.
