Welcome to Little Gillyflower Cottage, a bright and cheery stone house you can rent for your next vacation in the U.K. It sits above the River Tamar along the Cornwall and Devon border, where peace and quiet are pretty much guaranteed.
Little Gillyflower Cottage in Cornwall
The listing says:
“Little Gillyflower Cottage is a beautifully romantic self-catering cottage set in the lush Tamar Valley near Gunnislake on the Cornwall and Devon border. With its peaceful river setting and outside fire pit (perfect for toasting marshmallows under the stars), this luxury self-catering riverside cottage offers lovebirds a blissful escape for two.”
I was surprised by how light, bright and cheery the interiors are. I expected it to be more rustic.

The listing says:
“Once upon a time, visitors used to travel upstream on boats to gaze at the blossom that clothed the valleys and the daffodils grown for florists in London. The pretty interiors at Little Gillyflower Cottage take their inspiration from this wonderful valley heritage, with florals and delicate hues sprinkled throughout.”
“This sweet-as-pie love nest in Gunnislake has one king-size double en suite bedroom. It’s bedecked in a French style with a gorgeous soft furnishings continuing the romantic theme.”
“The goose-down duvet promises a blissful night’s sleep, making it tempting to enjoy a lazy morning in bed!”
“The wildlife-spotting opportunities are vast. Keep eyes peeled for osprey, barn owls, spoonbills, peregrine falcons, the beautiful kingfisher and dragonfly.”
“You might even be lucky enough to spot the shy otter fishing for his lunch on the river banks!”
“Romantic afternoons are best spent picnicking in the wild flower meadows around the cottage. Or daydream with your beloved alongside the meandering river.”
“In the evenings, snuggle by the outside fire pit with fluffy blankets, marshmallows and hot chocolates.”
“Head to the nearby South Hams to explore the golden beaches and characterful seaside villages. The adventurous will be bewitched by the dramatic Dartmoor with its rugged landscape, magical folklore, and dramatic granite tors. A rambler’s paradise!”
“But if all that sounds like too much hard work, sit back and enjoy the serenity and relaxation on offer at this beautiful luxury bolthole for two.”
Doesn’t that sound like a lovely way to spend a vacation? The romantic descriptions for the Unique Home Stays listings always make me want to start packing my bags! For more photos and information about how to rent Little Gillyflower Cottage, check their website. Have a great weekend!
