About this property
Sticker 3 miles. Perfectly located for touring the wonderful south coast of Cornwall, this delightful barn conversion is set in a rural location, a short drive from Mevagissey and 1.5 miles from the acclaimed Lost Gardens of Heligan. Driving down the half-mile private lane to approach the property, which sits alongside the owner’s mixed livestock and arable farm, you will start to feel that you have left your busy life behind you. Here your eyes are immediately taken to the outstanding views across rolling fields, peppered with 300 year-old oak trees and free-roaming peacocks, which help to paint the picture of this peaceful, quintessential countryside location.
Enter straight into the open plan living space with its well-equipped kitchen and comfortable sitting and dining areas. Though the hallway are the two comfortable bedrooms, including one offering the flexibility of being either a king-size double or two singles beds on request. The sitting area opens out to a large decked area, with comfortable seating and a barbecue, perfect for alfresco dining whilst taking in the superb rural views. The two nearest villages, St Ewe and Sticker, both have excellent pubs acclaimed for their food, whilst the town of St. Austell with its host of amenities is only 6 miles away, plus pretty Porthpean and historic Charlestown are just a little further.
With the beautiful Lost Gardens of Heligan to be found within two miles, the Eden Project also only a short drive away and the many quaint Cornish fishing villages waiting to be explored, Vine Cottage offers a perfect base for a relaxing rural holiday.
Sticker is a quiet Cornish village, complete with village shop/Post Office and award-winning pub, just three miles from St. Austell Bay and within a fifteen minute drive of a wealth of Cornish attractions including The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Tall Ships Harbour at Charlestown and The Eden Project. A fantastic location, any time of the year.

It was very clean and a great space. The beds were comfortable and the shower was brilliant. The addition of farm animals coming up to the fence, including 4 lovely peacocks was a bonus. It is situated in a peaceful farm environment and is the perfect place to unwind.
