Description from owner
Description
The cottage is made of 3 foot thick granite stone with a flagstone floor partly covered with rugs. It is tastefully decorated retaining its original rustic charm. At the heart of the main living area there is a wood and coal burning stove with the sofa to one side and dining table and chairs to the other. There is also a small flat screen colour TV and DVD player. The kitchen is off to one side with all basic equipment, full size oven, touch hob, fridge freezer, and toaster. Off the other side of the living area is the bathroom, which has been tastefully refurbished Jan 2023. It has a walk-in shower and new washer-dryer. The two bedrooms are upstairs with views of the sea. One double and the other with bunkbeds, travel cot or extra fold-out bed for a child available. The windows are all double glazed, there is a storage heater and wall mounted electric radiators in each room. The garden has a paved area, raised seated area (with glorious views of the sea and sunset) and small lawn. The spectacular Southwest Costal Path is a short walk from the cottage, with breath taking ocean views along the cliffs and hidden sandy coves. Geevor Tin Mine Museum and cafe and the village of Pendeen, with pubs, shops and a restaurant are a short walk away.
Surrounding Area: Peaceful, quiet village with a short walk to the corner shop and two pubs and fantastic tapas restaurant in Pendeen. St Just is 10 mins drive away with pubs, cafes, tea rooms, independent shops, including a fantastic butcher. Penzance is 15 minutes drive away for supermarkets, trains, buses, restaurants, antique shopping, tennis and swimming in the Jubilee sea pool. And the Pendeen Watch Lighthouse is on the way to our closest beach, Portheras, about a 30 minute walk from the cottage or few minutes drive to park by the lighthouse and lovely walk to the beach. St. Ives and the Tate Gallery are 25 minutes drive away on a dramatic coastal road with spectacular scenery, cliffs, wild flowers and ancient standing stones. Also many birds and wild life, idyllic beaches, surfing, horse riding, fishing, sailing and trips to the Scilly Isles. The wonderful Eden Project is an easy 45 minute drive away, and many gardens including The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Also bird, seal, and butterfly Parks (brochures are in the cottage). And, of course, there is picturesque Mousehole with great restaurants, and lastly Land's End.
There are many wonderful restaurants in the area. See list of restaurants available in the cottage or request from owner by email. The restaurants change over the years so I'd rather give you up to date recommendations!
Please note, due to the layout and size of the cottage (due to its age) it may not be suitable for people who have difficulties with mobility. Please contact us with any questions.
Review of cottage: Sent: August 25, 2007
Dear Micheline,
Many thanks for making our holiday in Cornwall memorable. Your cottage is fabulous and I will keep your email address on file for the next time we come to Cornwall. We loved everything about our holiday despite the weather the first week and the M5 shutting down and the children think it is far better than going abroad. As for the cottage it is a charming dream of a place.
Hope you have many happy years there. (My reply: Yes, we have had 30 very happy years of going to the cottage!)

Response from the owner We are so happy you had such a good holiday! When we first rented this cottage 40 years ago we fell in love with it too and we have been renting it out ever since we were able to buy it in 1978.
