Believed to have once been the butler’s pantry to the main house the owners have restored and repaired the cottage with style and attention to detail. Froglets is furnished simply and comfortably; equipped with everything you will need for your holiday. The original and very thick walls have all been restored with lime plaster in keeping with the local style and there is attractive wood flooring downstairs. The original chimney till stands and the fireplace which no doubt contained a wood fired stove, has been sympathetically restored to house a modern electric cooker. The kitchen alcove houses a washing machine and storage is deceptively spacious with magic corner cupboard beneath the original stairs. Microwave, toaster, fridge-freezer and electric cooker with glass hob are all brand new Be sure to duck your head as you climb the narrow stairs leading to the sunny bedroom with en-suite has a generous, comfortable bed.
Public transport:- There is a bus stop near by which can take Visitors all round the Roseland Peninsula ending at St Mawes and Truro and the villages in between in the other direction. A St Austell bus is also available in the village from the square (a short walk away), although this is less frequent.
Directions: By car the route is easy. If this is your first visit to Cornwall we recommend the A30 from Exeter which is mostly dual carriageway. Leave the A30 at the Ladock exit, by Mc Donalds, and follow signs to Ladock drive through the village and at the end of the road turn right towards Truro.
At the Mercedes garage turn left onto the bypass towards St Austell. Follow the bypass up the hill then turn right towards Tregony and St Mawes. Stay on this road until you drive over the bridge into the bottom of Tregony. Lynwood house, where you need to pick the key up from, is the big house opposite the bridge, the entrance is behind the two road bollards. Drive through the low walls into the drive by the Lynwood sign and go through the gate to the back of the house, which is normally left open. Please drive slowly as there are children and dogs.
In peak time the junction leading into Lynwood can be busy and crossing the road to enter the drive can be a bit difficult, you may find it easier to drive around the bollards and turn left into the drive.
Once you have your key, go back out the drive and turn right up Tregony Hill. About 100 yards up the hill you will see on your right a building with blue pillars, opposite this building there is a turning on your left that drops down and turns back on yourself. Take this road, there are normally quite a few cars parked along this bit , drive past and take the road leading to the right. Frogmore Corner is the first yellow cottage on your right.
