Accommodation overview: Pennti is a very unique and unusual property, lovingly built by local owners. They have used wood from the nearby Tregothnan estate to create items for the holiday cottage.

Pennti truly is a unique cottage, converted from a farm piggery and providing a tranquil base from which to explore the surrounding beautiful countryside. It is hard to believe that despite being in the heart of rural Cornwall, Pennti is a mere five miles from the bustling county city of Truro. Built with the scenery in mind, every room has views towards open countryside. From the private parking space and enclosed front patio garden, entrance to the cottage is through a conservatory which has seating to enjoy the vista. The remaining ground floor has an open plan living/dining/kitchen area, which allows a feeling of space and light throughout. This room has a log burner on a raised hearth ensuring a cosy welcome at all times. The owners have imaginatively used wood from the local Tregothnan estate to enhance practical everyday items. The handmade steep wooden staircase to the mezzanine sleeping platform (suitable only for children over 14 years of age) is one such example. Taken from one huge oak tree and sliced down the middle, its natural shape wraps around the stairs. This mezzanine level has two single mattresses on the floor, and restricted head height. The bright and cosy conservatory thoughtfully has binoculars provided, to help view the wildlife and birds that populate the hedgerows and local woodlands. From this room there is a door through to the double bedroom, which offers uninterrupted scenery from floor to ceiling windows. A peaceful retreat with many walks from the door, Pennti offers an ideal place to rest and relax.
