📝 Other Things to Note
• Burrow Cott sits within a traditional working Cornish community. The cottage shares a quiet access path with a few neighbouring properties, and while you’ll have the house and courtyard entirely to yourself, the cottage is part of a row of traditional cottages. You may occasionally see a friendly local or a passing dog walker.
• Our property is dog friendly - with many of our neighbours also owning dogs. you might hear an occasional woof!
• The cottage is a recently renovated Grade II-listed historic property, full of charming quirks and character. As with many older Cornish cottages, it is compact.
• Steep staircase – may not be suitable for small children or those with mobility issues
• Low ceilings and door frames throughout – please mind your head!
• Shower height is limited: guests over 5’8” will need to bathe rather than stand

Hi, I'm Emma. I grew up in Wadebridge and still return regularly with my dogs to explore the coastal paths and local food spots I love. Hosting gives me the chance to share a little piece of this special place with others. Burrow Cottage is my much-loved home, full of character and charm. I hope to live in Cornwall full time one day, but until then, I’m sharing my favourite place with guests who come to enjoy North Cornwall.
