It’s now been lovingly converted to provide a quirky “upside-down” retreat for a couples Falmouth cottage holiday, or the perfect work retreat over 2 floors.

Downstairs you’ll find the spacious bedroom which features a superking bed which can be split to form 2 singles on request. Next door is a bathroom and separate WC. To make the most of the far reaching countryside views, upstairs is the lounge which features high exposed beams, plus a nook overlooking the orchard to the rear. The first floor also has a kitchen with glorious uninterrupted views across the countryside. Outside the Pigsty at the front is a sitting out area that bathes in sun all day, whilst at the rear is a dedicated patio, perfect location to sit and enjoy the peaceful countryside. The cottage comes with a dedicated parking and plus access to the woods and wildflower meadow to the rear which includes a campfire area.
