More about Dove Cottage

We know comfort matters when you unwind…

Inside the Cottage: Prepare meals with ease in the fully- equipped country kitchen complete with modern appliances and a dishwasher. You’ll find everything you need for a generous farmhouse breakfast waiting for you - enjoy it at your leisure before heading out to explore. On balmy evenings, fire up the barbecue on the patio and dine alfresco.

The Sitting Room: This intimate, peaceful place is perfect for unwinding. Light the woodfire (firewood stocked just for you), pour a glass of local wine, and truly disconnect from the world.

Bedrooms and Bathrooms:

  • Two spacious bedrooms, almost like suites, each with a queen bed dressed in Belgian linen

  • Two bathrooms stocked with Leif botanical products

  • An additional fold-out bed available on request

Private Study: Find a quiet corner to read or unwind in the study, which overlooks the gardens.

Climate Control: Air conditioning to keep you comfortable on warmer days

Your outdoor sanctuary: Step outside and wander through nearly an acre of wild, rambling gardens and paddocks alive with birdlife. You’ll likely spot our resident kangaroos and it’s the perfect setting for a morning stroll with your coffee or an afternoon spent soaking up the country air.

Guest access

The whole cottage and its gardens are yours to enjoy. Parking is available on the property down the pebbled driveway, and self-check in is simple with our lockbox - arrive and unwind on your own schedule.

Some of the doorways sit lower than modern homes, a charming reminder of the Cornish miners who built this cottage. Please mind your head as you wander through.
