About this property
A stylish retreat with a boutique hotel standard interior, private hot tub in the garden and far reaching views toward the north coast. Wake up to sea views across the stunning world heritage coastline a mile away, or head out on foot to explore scenery which has inspired generations of artists and writers. The Old Forge has a traditional layout with ground floor comprising a super spacious sitting room with wood burning stove, a fabulous dining room and a kitchen fit for a king with central island for more informal meals. The house offers flexible sleeping arrangements on the first floor.
There are two master bedrooms with king size beds and en-suite shower rooms. (you will have to fight for the one with a sea view though). For families the second bedroom can be presented as a twin if requested. The third bedroom is smaller but still suitable for adults or children. If you haven't had enough of the water outside in the hot tub, the bathroom has a huge corner bath too and separate shower! South facing, the garden is fully enclosed with large patio for alfresco dining and lawn for the all-important lazing around after lunch.The Old Forge is under a mile from St Just, the most westerly town in England.
Here you will find good pubs, cafes and delicatessens as well as several art galleries, including Kurt Jackson's Jackson Foundation. Fine dining pubs and restaurants are popping up all over West Cornwall so head to The Beach Restaurant at Sennen Cove or The Old Coastguard Hotel in Mousehole for a culinary treat. With sandy beaches at nearby Sennen Cove, Gwynver or Porthcurno this super holiday home will suit those looking to enjoy the Cornish coast and countryside.
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. In the centre of the town is Plain-an-Gwarry, a theatre used for miracle plays in medieval times, and in more recent times for the Lafrowda Festival

Everything we needed and wanted for a comfortable and restful holiday. Could not fault the cottage at all. However I would never book a holiday through Helpful Holidays again. It was impossible to get through to them to ask a couple of questions. We phoned several times, either no applicable option or left listening to hold music for over half an hour. Emails were not responded to at all and 2 WhatsApp messages timed out because Helpful Holidays had not replied. If I was the owner of The Old Forge I would list with someone else.

Itâs also very central for the lovely beaches and close to the light aircraft airport. Which is walking distance. Weâre going to book it again
