Holiday cottage to rent near St Austell, Cornwall
Welcome to Rescorla Cottage
Rescorla Cottage, as you see it today, is the result of a great deal of work. It started life in approximately 1850 as two tiny cottages. The leftmost (pictured) was actually the village forge and by the 1990’s was a listed building but had become derelict. Next door was a pit workers cottage. In 1997 the cottages were bought by a builder who agreed to rebuild them if the listing status was removed for the derelict forge. Clearly, the work to combine the two cottages was undertaken with sensitivity and has maintained, even enhanced, the beautiful building you see today.
Nick and Julie, the current owners bought the property in early 2019. They have tried to make your stay feel like “home from home”, including for your 4 legged friends (Dog Friendly Accommodation).
