This bedroom also benefits from its own modern ensuite shower room.

The dining area features a generous wooden table with six stylish wishbone chairs, positioned beside wide bi-folding doors that create a seamless indoor-outdoor experience and flood the space with natural light. The living space combines elegance with comfort, offering a contemporary log burner, a wall-mounted TV, a plush SNUG corner sofa, and two relaxed armchairs, ensuring there’s room for everyone to unwind.

Perfection
The house was 5 mins from the beautiful beaches, in a lovely quiet street. Immaculately clean, beautiful furnishings and felt really special with the wood fired hot tub! Attentive hosts who went out of their way providing everything we needed. We really hope to visit again soon
Everything was perfect

Is there a better property in Cornwall? I don't think so!
Firethorn is an exceptional property...great care and thought has gone into making it a beautiful holiday home. I cannot praise it enough. All 6 adults loved it. The towels are fluffy, the beds are comfy and the hot tub is delicious. The kitchen is well equipped...what a store of herbs and spices...with the addition of not one, but two coffee machines. The outside area is wonderful...the garden has been carefully planted and well maintained. And the staff at Finest Retreats are all that you'd want.. helpful, prompt and efficient
That we had to leave and come home !!
