Maristow Cottage

A short flight of steps leads up to Maristow Cottage's open-plan living space, one of the properties on the Gitcombe Estate near Cornworthy, with a woodburning stove and dining views over the grounds. All three bedrooms are on the ground floor, sleeping 6 in total.

The master twin, which can convert to a double on request, has its own en-suite walk-in shower. A small double is served by a ground-floor family bathroom with a bath and shower over, and the third bedroom is an L-shaped cabin bed for children under 12, so the cottage suits parties with fewer adults than the full capacity. A first-floor mezzanine snug adds a sofa bed for an extra guest on request.

The kitchen has an oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer, with a TV and WiFi in the living space. Central heating, underfloor heating and the woodburner cover the colder months, and a travel cot, high chairs and other baby equipment are available on request.

Outside is a lawn and patio with furniture and a barbecue. Guests share the estate's heated indoor and outdoor pools, a hot tub, sauna, steam room, championship tennis court and table football across 14 acres of grounds. Ample off-road parking is provided. No pets are allowed and the cottage is no smoking.
