This stylishly refurbished period building provides unique, sociable accommodation for groups, located equidistant from Cornwall’s north and south coasts. Set in an AONB, the cottage is surrounded by rolling countryside, just over half a mile from Tanglewood Walled Garden. Visit Penzance to bathe in its thermal Jubilee Pool, walk the dramatic cliffs of the National Trust’s Cape Cornwall, follow the trails within the 15-acre sub-tropical Trewidden Garden, peruse the Jackson Foundation Gallery in St Just and learn about the region’s industrial history in the Geevor Tin Mining Museum — all under 5 miles from your front door. Or drive 10 miles south, for the spectacle of live theatre at the ocean-side Minack Theatre.
Large windows on all four sides of the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining room allow light to flood in from every angle and throughout the day. The space — equipped with furnishings including two and three-seater sofas, an armchair, a wooden dining table and a contemporary wood burner — is ideal for those wishing to chat and interact, whether cooking, eating or relaxing. Also on the ground floor is a twin bedroom, with zip-and-link beds which can be made into a king-size on request. From the living room, stairs lead upstairs and onto the mezzanine; a charming reading space, with lounge chairs, a coffee table, doors to the Juliet balcony (through which you can take in glorious views) and a balcony looking onto the lounge. Two king-size bedrooms have wooden beamed ceilings and arched windows, while one has an en-suite shower room with a rainfall head. A separate bathroom has a free-standing bath.
Outside is a raised patio area enclosed by rustic stone walls, a wooden gate and shrubbery. It’s accessed via French doors and has a wrought iron table — a sunny spot for a BBQ.
