The Lookout

About this property

The Lookout is a welcoming pet-friendly cottage nestled in Redruth, Cornwall. Suited to small families or friends, this abode features a warming woodburning stove, serene rural vistas and a fire pit in the garden. Park the car in the off-road parking spaces and take in the welcoming setting of this neat mid-terrace cottage before stepping inside. Enter into the living/dining room, where you can sink into the seating beside the crackling woodburning stove after a day exploring Cornwall. Gather around the dining table to share stories from the day's adventures before settling in for a relaxing evening with the TV on.

When hunger calls, head through to the kitchen, where crisp white units and a breakfast bar create a sociable space for preparing meals. Whip up everything from a hearty breakfast before setting out to leisurely evening suppers using local produce, keep ingredients chilled in the fridge/freezer, let the dishwasher take care of the washing up while you unwind, and make use of the washing machine to refresh walking gear or beach towels ready for another day outdoors. Climb the cast-iron staircase to discover the two bedrooms. Both carpeted and bright, the king-size bedroom provides a lovely place to retire after a day of adventures, while the neat twin room enjoys views towards Carn Brea and the surrounding countryside, making it equally appealing for family or friends.

Begin each morning in the ground-floor bathroom, where you can choose between a leisurely soak in the freestanding bath or a refreshing rinse beneath the walk-in shower before heading out for the day. Step outside into the front garden, where the patio provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee. Fire up the barbecue for an alfresco meal, gather around the fire pit as the sun begins to set, and let your four-legged companions stretch their legs while you savour the peaceful setting. With a shop just a short drive away and a welcoming pub within easy reach, everything you need is close at hand throughout your stay.

Spend the day at Portreath Beach, where golden sands invite seaside strolls, rolling waves tempt you to pull on your wetsuit and head into the surf, and the harbour provides a lovely spot to pause with an ice cream while watching the tide roll in. Step back into Cornwall's rich mining heritage at National Trust - East Pool Mine, where impressive beam engines, fascinating industrial history, and knowledgeable volunteers bring this former tin mine to life. Venture along the South West Coast Path, where dramatic clifftop walks, secluded coves, and sweeping sea views reward every step before returning to your countryside retreat.

Take in the best of coast and countryside with a stay at The Lookout.
