About this property
Set in a peaceful and tranquil location, this stone, converted barn combines rustic charm with modern accommodation close to the town of Penzance on the westerly tip of Cornwall. Found at the end of a winding lane the cottage is perfect for those who wish to escape their busy lives. Admire the far reaching views from the character-filled double bedroom on the first floor. Downstairs there is a single bedroom with vaulted beams, a well equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting area where you can throw open the French doors and enjoy alfresco dining on the patio area within the garden. This romantic escape enjoys countryside living and the south facing garden affords views across the moorlands and out to St Michael's Mount and the Lizard Peninsula on a clear day. Nature lovers will enjoy rambling along the paths leading out to a rugged terrain amongst heather and moorland flowers. For horse-riding enthusiasts, this is a perfect area for going out on a relaxing hack and if you are a horse owner, you can bring your trusty steed as there are livery facilities nearby. The superb white sandy beaches and winding lanes of St Ives is within easy driving distance and definitely worth a visit. Nearby Penzance is steeped in history with monuments and historic sites but also offers dramatic beaches, cliff top walks and a good selection of shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. A wonderful choice where you can choose to relax in the countryside or explore this fascinating and beautiful area of Cornwall.
The most westerly major town in Cornwall, Penzance faces the shores of Mounts Bay, the famous St Michael's Mount rising from the sea in its centre. A bustling harbour town with quaint streets lined with shops and cafes and a promenade stretching towards the fishing port of Newlyn. Known for its mild year-round climate, palm trees and tropical plants thrive here and are best viewed at the beautiful sub tropical Morrab Gardens, close to the town centre. Popular with photographers, the art deco Jubilee seawater pool should not be missed for a dip in summer months. Home to the Georgian Theatre built around 1786, the theatre is thought to be one of the oldest Georgian theatres in the country. Golowan Festival is held in Penzance each June a ten day festival with carnivals, music and dance. Penzance is an ideal base for exploring the far south west of Cornwall, with St Ives and Carbis bay a short drive.

Was not expecting the cleaning supplies etcâ¦. We brought bin bags etc â¦.. everything was already there! The house itself was amazing. We arrived and there was a tray of scones, jam and clotted cream in the fridge! Lovely flowers on the kitchen table. The bed was so comfortable, lovely crisp bedding. The shower was a dream. The owner, Mike and Molly his lovely hound were informative about the area. Steered us towards more interesting places. We had a lovely time. It was too short. We have had friends ask about this place from our pictures on Facebook. Thank you, Mike and everyone. We will be back

The cottage is a beautifully converted and extended barn, with the original granite stonework intact and beautifully exposed in some rooms, including the bathroom. All very clean. The underfloor heating provided constant warmth, the interior design is tasteful and comfortable, and the location is stunning, with views as far as the eye could see over St Michael's Mount and Mounts Bay, over to Cudden Point. From the house, Penzance in the South, or St Ives in the North are accessible within minutes. We were also very lucky, with some brilliant sunshine and turqoise seas. Above all, Mike Williams, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful and caring. He even offered to pick us up in case we were stuck, when we briefly broke down on the A30, but were fortnuately able to continue. He then booked us into his local garage during the week. It couldn't have been more perfect. Thank you so much!
