Description from owner

Description

Wrens Nook is a beautiful Grade 2 listed Tin Miners Cottage, built in the 1700's and has been renovated to maintain its old world charm. Idyllically situated along a very narrow Cornish Lane - guests park next door on our driveway. You also have access to your own playing and picnic field

Wrens Nook is a unique place, suited to a family with children or a couple looking for a romantic getaway set in a beautiful Cornish Landscape. It's a mile walk to a lovely beach, which is safe for kids and has brilliant rock pooling, swimming and surfing. We've often got boogie boards knocking around and buckets and spades too - just ask. There's also easy access to the coastal path and lots of pubs and restaurants within walking distance.

Once in the cottage your in a time machine. You will discover the quirky features of this cob and stone, listed building - it was built in 1714. Don't expect perfection - do expect authentic romanticism. You'll feel just like you are in a scene out of Poldark!! We have some wonderful sunsets, lots of peace and quiet and you might just want to curl up in front of the log burner with a good book, for the week.

The original part of the cottage is small and dainty and is now the sitting room - it's cosy and comfortable with a small TV and the Log Burner and the master bedroom. Nothing is king-sized here.

In the newer part of the cottage, we've added a garden/dining room which looks out toward the engine house. It attracts the sun and is a lovely space to sit and read or just to 'be'. Upstairs we have an ensuite with a gorgeous shower and bath.

Downstairs there is another combined shower and utility room with that all important beer fridge. We always leave you a small supply of washing powder and fabric conditioner as well as basic kitchen condiments.

This season we've added a Breakfast Bench in the front garden to catch the early sun and access to the picnic and playing field for garden games and fun.

Enjoy a real taste of Cornwall - the ambiance and the outdoor spaces are just fabulous and the surrounds are perfect for a run around or to a sit a while there with a coffee or a cheeky glass of wine.

Remember - the lane to the cottage is darned narrow! The benefit of this is there is no passing traffic - just a couple of passing horses and walkers.

Getting around

Lots of guests leave their car and walk everywhere - but is up to you. The village, pubs, restaurants and the beach are all walkable - so you can get the fit bit going. Buses go from the village into Newquay and Truro. If you go to Truro - stop by Charlottes Tea Room.

Interaction with guest

We live next door and will welcome you - but then leave to in peace, unless you ask for help. We operate with the key safe only but we can answer any questions you may have when you arrive. Ring when you are on Water Lane so Pete can open the gate to our drive - but do check you are happy driving up the lane.
