Book a country cottage for a tranquil rural break in Herodsfoot
Peace and tranquillity in a Cornish nutshell, the picturesque Herodsfoot in South East Cornwall is one of the South West’s most overlooked villages and the perfect place for a traditional holiday cottage or modern apartment. Settle on at your holiday home with its private collection of room, including a kitchen, living room, perhaps a utility and dining room. Try to find a holiday accommodation that has a barbecue and seating in the back garden to have somewhere pleasant and green to relax in after a day exploring the Herodsfoot countryside or Looe coast.
Ten minutes from Looe and Polperro
Nestled remotely in the heart of the Cornish countryside, Herodsfoot has an abundance of activities for the whole family. The beautiful fishing towns of Looe and Polperro are only ten minutes away, whereas the vibrant bright lights of Plymouth, also known as Britain’s Ocean City is just a short train ride away. Looking for wonderful fresh air walks with the pet pooch? Herodsfoot is surrounded by arguably the finest woodland areas in the whole of Cornwall; the mainly coniferous Deerpark and Herodsfoot forests; home to many wildlife laden trails with panoramic views that will take your breath away!
After all this exploring of one of the oldest sites for mining in South East Cornwall, why not head back to your humble abode and make the most of relaxing in your open plan living room awash with not just rustic beamed ceilings and winter warming wood burners, but also a flat screen TV and DVD player; perfect for watching your favourite boxset in the star filled evenings.
Noted for its 19th century production of materials like Silver, Lead, Bournonite and Tetrahedrite, Herodsfoot is a village that really felt the boom from the local mining industry. Did you also know that up to a few years ago, gunpowder was manufactured at the nearby Herodsfoot Powder Mill? It’s certainly all fun and fireworks in this special part of the world.
How about cooling off afterwards in your modern family bathroom complete with refreshing bath and power shower? The perfect way to end a marvellous evening deep in paradise.
