Property code: 44395

This lovely cottage is located near delightful St Agnes, a wonderful village set in a stunning and unspoilt Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and which is also a World Heritage Site. St Agnes is a thriving creative mix of traditional local inns, restaurants and art galleries. A great base for the avid walker or beach goer, the stunning coastal path is on your doorstep at Newdowns Head. Relax on one of the four different beaches or try a spot of surfing. Attractions in the area include the Wheal Coates ruins, St Agnes Beacon, almost direct access to the South West Coast Path, the Eden Project, Newquay Zoo, Cornwall Gold, Dairy Land Farm World, St Michael’s Mount and Land’s End. This lovely cottage places you mid point between two lovely beaches of St Agnes and Chapel Porth, both within a 40 minute walk.

On entering this traditional but deceptively large one-level property you will find a snug and inviting living room where you can snuggle down in front of the TV and wood burner. The stylish and calming décor throughout provides a lovely space to relax in. Moving into the attractive kitchen you will find all that you might need during your stay, including electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and washing machine. Further through to the rear of the cottage is a delightful and spacious sun room flooded with natural light.. Here you will find a lovely dining area, comfortable armchairs and doors to the garden. You can also enjoy views across the fields with the sea in view out over the bay. The perfect place to watch the sun go down over the ocean or just spend some quiet time with a book. This lovely rural retreat also offers underfloor heating, which makes it feel very cosy on cooler days. Completing this lovely cottage is a king-size bedroom complete with TV, en-suite shower and WC.

Heading outside you will find a decked area with seating by a pond and a separate BBQ area. The property is accessed via a long unmade farm track (not suitable for cars with low clearance eg:sports/smart cars), and the accommodation adjoins the owner’s home, but still provides total privacy. The beach, shops and pub are all within walking distance.

We had a really great stay at the cottage. We were able to get to the coast path easily and walk to local beaches, cafes , pub and bakery in St Agnes. We saw a pair of coughs on the lawn. The skies were amazing and have some great pictures of a full moon. We have already recommended friends to stay here.

We loved the cottage! It is in an idyllic peaceful and beautiful setting. The sunsets and moon rising provided some amazing photographs. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and the room sizes are generous. It was ideally located for great walks and beaches and close enough to a range of places to visit. We particularly enjoyed a day at PortRead more Isaac and at the Lost Gardens of Heligan, as well as Porthtowan beach which was perfect! St Ives was lovely but very touristy and busy. Hide

!SELECTED!It is a wonderfully spacious house and you can walk from the house to two sides of the coast path. However, the lane, 800 meters to it, is a challenge for people who are careful with their car. In clear weather you can see beautiful sunsets and it is very quiet.!ENDOFSELECTED!

A wonderful place to stay. Far from any road, it is very quiet and only minutes from the cliff path. It is spacious, well furnished, and with a choice of comfy chairs. St Agnes is a just a 30 minute walk over the field

Many thanks to the owner who offered us one of our best holidays so far. The cottage was clean and quiet. It is the perfect atmosphere for a hiking holiday but also to regenerate our minds. Obviously the pathway to the cottage is challenging if you have a sportive car but no problem with our Panda.

The cottage was in a quiet secluded spot ideal for exploring the SW Coastal walk, Cornish villages and great gardens including the Lost Garden of Heligan. It was spacious and clean. As the information on the property stated the access is down a narrow lane not suitable for small cars.

Cottage was lovely, clean, spacious and in a superb location, just what we wanted. Drive to it was narrow with deep puddles in places so we were cautious and took great care driving down narrow track. Loved seeing wildlife foxes, rabbits, birds and seals. A favorite part of Cornwall with advantage of staying so close to the sea.

Lovely cottage, cosy & welcoming ,very tastefully decorated as with previous reviews the drive down the track can be challenging in the wrong vehicle but we soon got used to it , even with the wet weather conditions, A small sign at the entrance to the track from the road could help as you could easily miss it
