The Luxury Bathroom

Sorgente is an Italian word meaning SOURCE, usually used for a water source. Our luxury bathroom was not the reason we chose this name for Sorgente Cornish Holiday Cottage but you’d be forgiven for thinking so! We have excellent water pressure and a large gas combi boiler that delivers copious amounts of water …

The Double Bedroom

The double bedroom, or master bedroom, is situated at the rear of the property with two double-glazed modern windows over-looking the cottage garden. Furnished with a standard-sized double bed with a luxury mattress, and matching furniture. The floor is of solid oak …

The Twin Bedroom

The Twin Bedroom of Sorgente has two standard singles with luxury mattresses, ample storage space and access around the room. The floor is in natural wood, and has been finished with bees wax, so it feels very smooth even under bare feet. With sound-proofed traditional box sash windows …

The Living Room

The Living room includes a wood burning stove for those cozy evenings any time of the year, although not essential for heating especially in the summer months. During winter months this provides enough heat for the house even without the gas central heating. Dry seasoned logs can be provided for your arrival …

Safety gates and highchair

Children and babies are very welcome at Sorgente, for this reason we provide a high chair and an infant bath in the property. However we prefer guests to bring their own travel cots for those too small for a bed. The maximum of 4 occupants in this property allows for a 5th member being 24 months or younger sleeping in their own cot. You will also need to bring your own cot linen and bedding. Sometimes in unfamiliar environments toddlers may be ocassional bed-wetters, therefore …

The Kitchen and Dining room

Situated between the living room and the garden, the double-glazed patio window allows natural light to penetrate the …

The Cottage Garden

A cottage wouldn’t be complete without a garden and ours can be a real sun trap. Overlooked by the double bedroom, the cottage garden is easily accessible from the kitchen using the large sliding patio door. In the cottage garden walls you will find many wild flowers and herbs, also useful in the Kitchen …

Heat recovery system

We added the luxury of a Villavent heat recovery system in the cottage which aims to meet targets of low energy consumption but also importantly keeps the home fresh and dry removing condensation and dust, ideal for those whose may have an allergy such as asthma. The system uses filters which are cleaned or replaced twice a year through which all incoming air and recycled air passes through. It automatically detects when there is steam in the bathroom and the Kitchen and continues to replenish …
