Bookers Cottage details

Bookers Cottage, set in its own apple orchard, was built in the 19th century in traditional mellow Cotswold stone, and is roofed in lichen-covered Stonesfield mellow slates. Situated at Bruern Cottages offering the luxury and comfort you'd expect from a 5 star hotel, with the space and personalised touches you can only find in a bespoke self catering property.

From the interior designed living spaces to the established gardens, the warmly inviting indoor pool and spa to our always ready to help staff, our focus is our customers' happiness and our success is measured by how many of our guests return to us year on year.

Built in Victorian times our twelve cottages have won many awards including 5 star recognition and the English Tourist Boards Excellence Award. The properties were converted by Mrs. Judy Astor, our proprietor, back in 1992 and have been developed and refurbished over time to reflect our guests' wants and needs.

You should feel that your cottage is your 'home from home' in the Cotswolds and that everything you need to enjoy your stay is provided, from ready chopped and stacked logs for the open fire to high quality crockery and cutlery, from antique furniture to state of the art sound and vision. We seek out the fluffiest of towels and the highest thread count Egyptian cotton bed linen; we welcome you with a basket of local goodies and a bottle of champagne; we relish in all the little personal touches that make a great stay a brilliant one.

Bruern is a small hamlet surrounded by open country and has that special feel of a place 'lost in time'. Yet it is a short drive or train ride from cities and towns like Cheltenham, Oxford, Cirencester and Bath.

There's so much to do in the surrounding area for families, couples and solo travellers alike. We think you'll find that at Bruern you are ideally placed to enjoy all the Cotswolds has to offer and beyond.

Verity Cottage details

In association with Trinity House, Rural Retreats is pleased to present Verity Cottage at Trevose Head Lighthouse.

Verity (with accommodation for four guests) is one of four holiday cottages available at the lighthouse which is located on a headland between the sandy beaches of Harlyn and Constantine Bays, four miles west of Padstow. The Lighthouse was built in 1847, electrified in 1973 and automated in 1995. The site is not open to the public and the four cottages are sheltered beneath a headland and are 75' above the sea, accessed via a one-mile-long private road. Fine views out to sea and the chance to watch fishing boats coming in and out of Padstow.

The cottages are semi-detached, with the lighthouse positioned in the middle. At the front, there is a communal tarmac forecourt with parking. To the rear, on the sea side, there is a shared, walled, grass area which is fenced at the cliff edge. (In the interest of safety, it is recommended that guests do not use this space). The South West Coast path runs round the headland and on towards Padstow.

Access roads to some of the lighthouse sites are narrow with limited passing places and, dependent on the season and site, there is the possibility of overhanging vegetation due to cutting restrictions during bird breeding seasons or other environmental reasons.

Guests should be aware that the lighthouses and equipment need regular and sometimes emergency maintenance. Therefore visits by maintenance staff may occur at any time during the year. However, staff will do their best to ensure guest privacy at all times.

Entered through a small porch with coat pegs which leads into a little hallway wide, rather steep stairs ahead, the cottage has a light, low beamed sitting room on one side. On the other side a beamed kitchen dining room has fitted units and electric cooker.

Upstairs is a bathroom W.C. with hand basin, heated towel rail and shower over the bath and two bedrooms with twin and a king size double bed respectively. The cottage is not ideal for toddlers.

From St Mawes, and again by foot ferry, it is possible to cross to Falmouth.

Tucked to one side of a large farmhouse the cottages are reached from an unmade track (where there is room to park) and a short path which leads to a wall and gate at the end of the row. There are open plan gardens to the front and service areas to the rear but each has its own spacious main garden reached by a few steps at the further end of the row about 75 yards away. Crotchet has a large lawn, drying area and lovely wide views of the countryside and sea beyond.

Porthbeor beach can be reached by footpath and a flight of steps; Towan beach about 3/4 mile down the lane has a National Trust car park and easy access by a sloping path.
