Homely Cottage with Valley Views, Dog Friendly, Parking, Garden and Wifi
Once part of an old dairy, the main house dates back to the late 1600s. The corner of the building is now self-contained and has been recently transformed into an extremely cosy holiday home. The owners use Frogmore Corner regularly and as such it feels very loved and lived in. The open fire draws well, the furniture is mostly modern but family antiques lend character as does the pretty wallpapered nook where teddies live.
There is a definite sense of luxury in the modern twin bath and shower rooms that have under-floor heating. Please note both are situated downstairs. The kitchen is kitted out with dishwasher, cooker, microwave and fridge freezer. A washing machine and tumble dryer have been squeezed cleverly into an adjacent lobby.
The new stair case which has replaced the original one that was falling down, leads to three bedrooms: one double and one single on the front of the house and new this year another cosy single at the back. The two at the front have superb views over the valley of farmland below through which runs the River Fal. The old wooden and serious wonky floorboards upstairs are now snugly carpeted and the double glazed windows and roof insulation will keep you cosy and environmentally conscience clear.
The front door opens onto the slate floor of the main and only living room. This entrance is approached up steps from the top of Mill Lane that branches off Frog Lane which leads down to the bottom of Tregony Hill where the river flows under the old bridge.
The pretty garden which is shared with Froglets is sunny and sheltered. There is a small lawn with flower borders and established shrubs. It is the perfect spot for a sunny breakfast, a peaceful sunbathe and somewhere in which to sip a glass of wine after a day at the beach. We ask please that dogs are not let into the garden to do their business and that any accidents are picked up and deposited in the dog-bin just up the road.
Private off road parking is also shared with Froglets and is immediately opposite the cottage above the garden.

Frogmore Corner was immaculate. The location just down from the Kings Arms was great. The hotel provided excellent meals and friendly hospitality.
The unit is well appointed with two bathrooms and a spacious living area and two bathrooms. The parking was much appreciated as was the garden area in front of the car park .
Thanks for an amazing stay.

A very quiet and comfortable stay in July in a lovely inland village that had a shop and pub set in beautiful countryside. We had easy access to great beaches and the Roseland peninsula and managed to visit Truro, Padstow and other parts of Cornwall without any difficulty.
The cottage was well decorated, had comfortable beds and was spotless.
Handover was straightforward and Abigail who greeted us was easily accessible and lived locally.
We would definitely return on another occasion.
We really enjoyed our stay at Frogmore Corner. Lovely cottage, very comfortable and Covid friendly and very easy to keep clean and safe. Great central location for walking and seeing the rest of Cornwall. Host was lovely, very helpful and only a short walk away. Thank you for a much needed break.

Why they chose this property
Spend a week tucked away in a little cottage overlooking the River Fal and surrounding farmland. Two minute’s walk to local shops and pub. Fifteen minute’s drive to wonderful sandy beaches. Miles of walking along the nearby National Trust coast line. Quiet, warm, modern and available all year round to discerning visitors. The owners visit very regularly and consequently both Frogmore Corner and Froglets really are a home from home.
