Honeydew

‘Honeydew’ is a spacious but cosy, all on one floor accommodation with features such as WiFi, central heating and a wood burner. Situated in Greatwork, on the outskirts of the villages Ashton and Godolphin Cross in the beautiful Cornish countryside. From the front door you can take advantage of an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, one of which will lead you to Godolphin Hill and down to the National Trust property of Godolphin House or in the opposite direction to Tregonning Hill, making it a great base for walkers.
