ASK ABOUT OUR OCTOBER HALF-TERM BREAK PRICESBrookside is a charming, South facing Cornish cottage that sits in a quiet country lane. The cottage is more than 150 years old and has been refurbished to a high standard, decorated in a simple,modern style yet retaining its period charm.
The cottage offers privacy when dining al-fresco on the patio plus spacious accommodation for six plus a cot with three bedrooms (two doubles, one twin) and a large family bathroom plus cloakroom on he ground floor.. The lounge-dining room has a huge original stone fireplace with an efficient wood-burning stove. Furnishings are modern yet invitingly comfortable.
The cottage looks onto a peaceful, pretty lawned garden with rose bushes, edged by mature trees and shrubs with a natural granite slabbed patio area that faces south, enjoying direct sunlight all day long. Both front and rear gardens are private and fully enclosed by walls, fences and natural hedges. A wealth of mature plants and flowering shrubs (camellias, rhododendrons etc.) surround the property. There is ample parking at the front for several cars.
Just a short stroll along the lane is the village pub. The Polgooth Inn serves great local beers and food prepared using locally sourced produce. It's a proper family-run place that welcomes children and animals and serves food all day both in the pub as well as the garden.

Leave ReviewBeautiful place to stay!
By Emma Graves on 16-Jun-2025We had a wonderful stay at Brookside cottage. The photos don't do this place justice. Lovely and clean,spacious with everything you need.The garden is absolutely beautiful with well established plants and very secure for our dog. Theres a lovely village pub just down the road and theres so many lovely beaches nearby. The owners were quick to respond with any questions I had and the communication was brilliant. We loved every minute. We will definitely be back but hopefully for longer next time.

By Jill Abel on 27-Oct-2024We loved everything about our stay in this property. It’s in a great location for exploring Cornwall, the enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs and enjoying my morning cuppa and the owners were so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend.
Nice place for our family
By Achim Hugo on 21-Jul-2023Achim H Sat, Jul 1 – Sat, Jul 15, 2023 Vrbo 5/5 Nice spot for our familiy holiday! We enjoyed our two week stay at Brookside, a peaceful place with a beautiful green closed garden, a nice house with a large kitchen, a nice design of the interior and enough space for 5 people. From here we started our visits to the next beaches and gardens. Dear friendly and helpful hosts, thank you! 7/21/2023 at 7:54 PM
An incredible stay
By Natasha owen on 21-May-2023Natasha O Sat, Jun 10 – Sat, Jun 17, 2023 Vrbo 5/5 An incredible stay We cannot fault this cottage and the hosts. The cottage itself was immaculate when we arrived, you would not know there had been previous guests there that morning. The welcome pack was very generous and well received. The cottage and gardens were beautiful and in a lovely, peaceful location. The hosts were incredibly kind and friendly, even getting our washing off the line for us while we were out which we were very grateful for when it started raining! The cottage was lovely and spacious with everything we needed. We would 100% recommend and would love to go back soon. 6/21/2023 at 10:10 PM You responded on 8/14/2023 at 12:44 PM
