An eccentric little house built as an experimental small holding for a farm hand after Tare’s Cottage burnt down in 1922. Facing south, you can glimpse the sea from upstairs and reach it on foot via a sheltered valley in under ten minutes. Apart from an old wooden barn used for storage, it rests in peaceful isolation and privacy in a clearing surrounded by its generous garden, fields, gorse and woodlands. The perfect antidote to urban life

Charging and Extras
The standard rent at Porth-en-alls Prussia Cove is lower than comparable places to stay. However, you should be aware of what is included and not included in this.
Unlike most other places, electricity, oil, logs, gas, bath and bed linen are extras. This keeps the rent down so you only pay for what you actually use while saving wasted power and unnecessary/unneeded laundry.
We read your electricity meter the day you arrive, record this on a brown envelope provided and you read it again and settle up on departure according to consumption (multiplying the difference by the unit price and leaving payment in the brown envelope with a cheque or cash or by bank transfer).
Oil, where central heating applies, is also metered in this way. Logs and kindling paid per bag used and use of laundry facilities (where shared with other cottages) per cycle used.
Similarly, unless you bring your own, bathroom and bed linen/beds made up, is ordered in advance on your booking form. Dogs, cots, high chairs are extras, as is cleaning at the end (optional).
ANDIGGY
What time is check in and where do I pick up the keys?
Check in is currently 4pm (go straight to the house) and departure 9.30am. This may be flexible so ask the office. The back door will be left unlocked for your arrival, the keys hanging up inside
Can I arrive late at night?
Yes, any time after 4pm. We will leave the door unlocked, but you need to know where you are going and how to get there as it is quite difficult to find after dark if you are a first time visitor. N.B. Andiggy is reached via a different road from all the other houses. Please study the map in advance!
Where do I park my car?
There is room for about three cars beside the house
Can I bring a pet?
Yes, but dogs and cats must be declared in advance and paid for and dogs must be kept off all furniture. You should bring a blanket/bed for them and a dog bowl. Please check the garden on departure and always be aware of your pet’s whereabouts
What is access like for limited mobility?
There is a loo on the ground floor and a single bedroom but the bathroom and main bedrooms are upstairs
What’s the access track like?
Quite adventurous and you need to go carefully closing any gates after you. The important thing is not to turn left at the bottom of the hill but go straight on through the gateway
How much should I budget for extras?
£25-60 depending on the time of year as this includes cooking, hot water, light and heating. £15 for two bags of logs and kindling if used
Can I pay for my electricity and other fuel by BACS on departure?
We would prefer this to be settled by cash or cheque and left in the envelope provided before you leave but as long as you settle it on or soon after departure, BACS is OK. Bank details are on the brown envelope, please add the booking code as a ref. After adding your calculations, please leave the envelope on the table, don’t take it with you
What is the phone signal like?
Good
Is there wifi?
No, not in the house but available in a room near the office which is a fair walk away
Is there a place to charge my car?
Only Trewartha has a dedicated charge point so far. We are working on this
Will satnav help find Andiggy?
Probably not much if using only the postcode as most of the houses have the same one. Try ‘What Three Words’ and the printed map
What are the bedding arrangements?
Unless you bring your own duvet, pillow cases (two per person) and bottom sheet, you must order these from us or you will have to sleep on a mattress protector under a thin bedspread -which is not allowed!
How is the house heated?
Please refer to the overview
Are candles permitted?
Sadly not any more. Recent changes to fire regulations have banned any type of candle in holiday accommodation
Can we light an open fire?
Yes in the sitting room only, but you must make sure the guard is in place when the room is not occupied. Use only our logs or other properly seasoned logs. Don’t stoke up before leaving the building. Again, we trust you to be extremely careful. The old Rayburn in the kitchen is a great asset as it also heats the water, once you get the hang of it! Please acquaint yourself with the location of extinguishers
How far is the nearest pub/restaurant?
The Falmouth Packet (1.5 miles, 20 mins on foot) is more of a restaurant than a pub these days but it is still fine to go there for a drink only. The food is good and so is the beer
How far is the nearest good surfing?
Prah Sands, but it depends on the weather. Kenneggy can be very good when conditions are right. Conditions on the North coast (30 minutes away) are usually the opposite to the South coast
Are picnic blankets provided?
No and please don’t be tempted to use the bedspreads nor cushions outside
Is there a microwave?
Not as standard but we have one or two if required. Ask in advance
Is it OK to smoke?
No, I’m afraid not inside. If you smoke outside, please pick up and dispose of your butts as we don’t have time to do this for you
Is there a TV?
No, none of the houses has one, by popular request
