About this property

Perfectly located for touring the spectacular far South West coast of Cornwall this delightful old granite miner’s cottage is situated in England's first and last town, St Just, on the coast between Lands End and St Ives. Set in a terrace, a short stroll from the town centre, you will feel at home the moment you arrive. You enter the cottage through the porch into the cosy sitting room with a woodburner, which will prove to be welcome in the cooler months after a breathtaking walk along this amazing coastline. The kitchen and bathroom are also on the ground floor whist the two bedrooms, one single and one double are both on the first floor. At the rear of the property is a courtyard offering a great spot to relax at the end of the day. Few towns, if any, have retained their character in the way St Just has. History abounds throughout the town with the whole area rich in mining, farming and fishing with monuments and prehistoric antiquities all around. A visit to the close by Bronze Age settlement of Cape Cornwall, is a must. The only cape in England where the two oceans meet and the steep walk to the summit will reward you with a 270 degree view over the Western Approaches. Also the annual St Just Lafrowda festival is a must for all the family. Lovers of the popular TV series Poldark will recognise many of the mines in the area featured. The nearby Geevor Tin Mine at Pendeen is also worth a look, where the Hard Rock Trail will take you through areas conveying the spirit of the past. With a choice of pubs, cafes, local food shops and takeaways you have ample dining choices, whilst the galleries and beautiful old church in the town are all well worth a visit. For confident drivers, the beautiful drive from St Just to St Ives is best taken in the evening to experience what is considered by many to be the best and most romantic place anywhere, to view a sunset. An ideal base for a wonderful holiday in a stunning location, whatever the time of year.

St Just is the nearest town to Land’s End and is situated approximately eight miles west of Penzance. The town itself is an ancient settlement that has a strong mining history and there are several monuments and prehistoric antiquities to visit including the Bronze Age settlement at Cape Cornwall. St Just is ideally located for visitors to explore the far west of Cornwall as it is situated on the edge of the moors and close to the beautiful north coast.

    St Just has a good locals vibe and has not been spoiled. We were extremely happy in the cottage, in fact we stayed in most evenings and just chilled. We would definitely come again. We were impressed with the cleanliness and the facilities. We were impressed with all that was provided for a super stay. The car park was fine and free and it only took me a few minutes back and forth. Thanks again for everything, Haydn and Dona

    A beautiful little cottage that has everything we needed and fantastically set up inside , a nice little side Road with no traffic and no noise of an evening , a one minute walk to the local square is ideal and a Chinese on your literally on your doorstep , definitely a go back to for me the set up inside the cottage is ideal , highly recommended

    Very clean & comfortable with everything I needed. All good quality & thoughtfully selected. Perhaps it was the time of year (October) but I had no problem parking in the next street. St Just is a great base to explore the wonders of west Cornwall! I look forward to returning.
