About the cottage

cottageBuilt in the mid 19C, the cottage’s name derives from its origins as the store for lanterns used to light the carriages that once stopped here at the White Hart Inn. Thankfully the main road no longer goes through the village but Old Coach Road was originally the main route from Cornwall to London. 

The Inn itself is reputedly haunted by the ghost of Judge Jeffries and his victims - the current landlord will tell tales of strange goings on as he pulls your excellent pint. Nothing spooky in the cottage though!

 The centrally-heated terraced cottage was completely renovated five years ago and comprises a comfy sitting room with TV/video and Sony portable CD/cassette/radio; fully fitted kitchen with fridge freezer, electric hob and oven, washing machine, microwave, and small conservatory with extending-leaf table and chairs.

Main bedroom

On the first floor is the main bedroom with kingsize bed and a  bathroom with roll-top bath and separate deluge shower. There is another good-sized bedroom on the second floor with a single bed. There is also a single airbed available.

The secluded sunny back garden is reached via a wrought iron staircase – which makes the property unsuitable for children under 12, I’m afraid.

Recycling facilities for glass, paper, cardboard and cans are provided in the pub car park –  plastic can be left at the cottage and I will recycle it for you.
