Welcome to Twixtu, a traditional Victorian Cornish cottage in this beautiful and unspoilt corner of Cornwall. The cottage, which sleeps 7, is decorated and comfortably furnished in keeping with its mid-Victorian character. It is situated high up in the village, just below the main car park, and as a result has panoramic harbour views from three of the bedrooms. The beautiful coastline and countryside around Polruan is wonderful for walking, beaching and boating, as well as being full of historic interest. With two open fireplaces, Twixtu is the perfect place for a Cornish self catering holiday at any time of year.

There is a second double bedroom at the rear. Downstairs, the central hall has a lounge to one side and dining room to the other, both with cushioned window seats and exposed ceiling beams. The dining room leads into the kitchen and through to the downstairs bathroom, which has an electric shower over the bath. The cottage has a rear yard and a good size garden to the front. There is a picnic table on the front lawn for al fresco dining. Although there is no parking at the house, the car park is nearby and a complimentary car parking space is included for the week.
