Gwel An Koos

Cardinham Woods dominates the landscape around Gwel An Koos—a modern, single-level property set in countryside that's become known for walking trails through ancient trees, stream-side paths and viewpoints, plus mountain biking routes if you're after something faster. The A30 sits less than half a mile away, opening up both coasts: golden-sand beaches to the north and fishing villages to the south are all within reach.

The cottage itself is built on one floor, with two bedrooms and a shower room. The first bedroom has a double bed, the second two singles that zip together into a king-size, sleeping four in total. An open-plan living space does for cooking and eating—the kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge and washing machine, so you can prepare proper meals rather than relying on takeaways. Outside, decking runs along the front and a private garden sits to the side, with furniture on both. Parking for two cars is on the property. One dog is welcome here. Wifi, electricity, bed linen and towels are all included, and the place is heated by an air-source heat pump.
