West Cornwall (Penwith) is renowned for its wild, untamed, open countryside, unspoilt coastal views, ancient historical sites, clifftop mines and Poldark. You will quickly discover why the area has been designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty' and is on the list of UN World Heritage Sites. If days at the beach are on your holiday plan then you are well placed, as the area offers several beautiful clean and sandy beaches. Choose from the quiet secluded Portheras Cove and Boat Cove (closest beaches to the cottage and dog friendly all year round) or explore Porthcurno, Lamorna and Penberth cove. A short drive away is Sennen beach (voted by Conde Nast as one of UK's best beaches) and Gwynver which are great surf spots. Another family friendly beach is Marazion which overlooks St.Michael's Mount. There is a strong local mining heritage. Geevor Tin Mine is located in the village and provides you with the opportunity to visit a real mine and discover what life was like for a Cornish miner.

Please note this is a traditional Cornish cottage and as is often common with old cottages, the ceiling height and doorway height on the ground floor is lower than in modern properties (the ceiling height upstairs is higher!). The internal staircase is fairly steep, narrow and does not have a handrail. There are 4 steps from the parking area to the front door. For those of you with agile and inquisitive dogs supervision may be required in the back garden. Although the back garden is enclosed the wall is not very high, and behind the wall is an exciting open field with rabbits and cows! Check in and check out times may need to be revised from those stated on the booking listing depending on COVID cleaning requirements. Also note that as per COVID cleaning protocol to protect cleaners and laundry staff, guests are required to strip their beds and place them in the laundry bags provided. Please be mindful of these when deciding if the property is suitable for you when booking.
