If you were looking for cottages like Penpont, how about trying these:

Penpont is a truly beautiful house serving up the perfect blend of an idyllic tucked away location, yet only a short distance from the enchanting Pont Creek and the sheltered bays and coastal walks along the south Cornish coast.

This stunning country home has plenty to offer. Pared back, elegant interiors with accent pieces that perfectly complement original features to create a calm and welcoming home, and relaxed outdoor spaces in the sunny south facing garden with views across the wooded valley towards the tower of Lanteglos Church. Let the calm of the setting work its magic as you take life at a gentler pace, listening to the birds sing their songs, watching the wildlife who regularly visit the garden, gazing at the wide open skies overhead or simply cosied up together in front of the wood-burning stove as day draws to a close. The wood-burner is accessed from both the sitting/dining-room and the snug, meaning that both rooms are as cosy as can be.

The holiday cooks can unleash their inner Mary Berry when preparing their culinary delights on the warming Aga in the country style kitchen/breakfast-room, which is the perfect place for enjoying informal meals and holiday snacks. When more formal dining calls, start with aperitifs served up from the cocktail cabinet in the snug before making your way through into the capacious sitting/dining-room where the dining-table takes pride of place in front of the French windows, that lead out to the covered patio and garden.

The calming interiors continue in the bedrooms and they all enjoy wonderful views over the gardens and wooded valleys. You are assured a peaceful night's sleep to set you up for whatever the following day has in store for you.

The garden is a delight, a wildlife paradise, set on a slope with paths meandering through wildflower areas and a little orchard. You can relax in the terrace, soaking up the sun from sunrise to sunset, or grab some quiet time in the shade with a good book.
