Romantic Riverside Cottage by the beach with Hot Tub, Sauna & Log Burner - Former Art Studio of Samu

Riverside hot tub and sauna tucked amongst trees
Historic artistry meets modern comfort in every corner
A quiet escape yet just minutes from beach and village amenities

About the property
Set in the valley of Lamorna, Birch Studio was once the studio of artist Samuel John Lamorna Birch and retains historic character alongside modern comforts. Natural light floods the open living space, while a mezzanine reading nook, log burner and earthy décor create a sanctuary. Just a stroll from a beach and local pub, this nestling cottage also features a fully enclosed garden, pet-friendly welcome and the soothing melody of water flowing past your doorstep.
The space
Step through a rustic oak door and into a serene living space where natural light, soft tones and the gentle sound of the stream immediately set a calming mood. The heart of the cottage is one harmonious open-plan room, thoughtfully designed to bring everyone together. Here you'll find a well-equipped kitchen, a cosy lounge and a dining area, all centred around a welcoming log burner. Expansive windows and doors frame the views and invite the outdoors in, blurring the boundary between home and nature.

A staircase leads to a snug mezzanine, an intimate nook perfect for curling up with a book or simply gazing out over the stream below. The main bedroom is generously sized and beautifully styled, featuring a sumptuous king-size bed for restful nights. The bathroom complements this with an indulgent rainfall shower, while the sofa bed in the living area provides additional sleeping space for guests.

Outside, the sense of retreat deepens. A hot tub perched above the river's edge offers a tranquil spot to unwind, while a private sauna promises total relaxation. The fully enclosed garden ensures peace, privacy and a safe haven for pets. For outdoor dining, there's a dedicated space with BBQ facilities, ideal for long summer evenings.

Guest access
You will be given access to the key box for a flexible check-in.
