Bumblebee Cottage is a charming retreat in the picturesque countryside of Luxulyan, Cornwall.

Upon entering this characterful property, you'll be greeted by an inviting sitting room, complete with a Smart TV and the added ambience of a woodburning stove, perfect for those cooler evenings as you enjoy a good book.

Venture outside to the large, enclosed garden where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the patio, or simply relax and soak up the sun on the lawn. For a unique outdoor experience, there's a covered sitting area complete with a fridge, an electric grill, furniture, and a fire pit, perfect for those balmy summer evenings. From here you can enjoy views across the fish pond, and as well as countryside views to inspire you to lace up your walking boots and check out the close by walks.
