Consols Rest accommodates up to four guests and provides luxurious five star holiday accommodation that is not only furnished and equipped to a very high standard, but that still retains lots of original character and charm.
Located in the secluded and peaceful hamlet of Trowan, this delightful traditional granite cottage is surrounded by lush green meadows and wonderful panoramic sea views. The tiny ancient hamlet is perfectly positioned high on the clifftops in an area declared “of outstanding natural beauty” by the National Trust and is just a 20 minute picturesque countryside walk to the popular harbour town of St Ives.
St Ives has a unique charm and a distinct natural beauty; it is surrounded by miles of breathtaking Cornish coastline and has given inspiration to numerous famous artists and writers. It offers world class, clean, sandy beaches; there are 5 to choose from within minutes of the cottage, sub tropical gardens, museums and galleries; including The Tate and interesting shops to browse. Choose from the wide selection of places to eat and drink, award winning restaurants, traditional pubs, cafes and bars line the cobbled streets and surround the historic harbour, where local fishermen still land their daily catch.
In the summer you can enjoy the spectacular sunsets from the garden or watch the amazing night time display of shooting stars high up in the sky. Alternatively, take a winter break where you can enjoy an invigorating walk along the dramatic Cornish coastline, then snuggle up on the sofa and enjoy a film or some music from the extensive library provided.
Whether you are looking for a lazy beach holiday, a walking holiday or a base for exploring the many delights that Cornwall has to offer, this is an ideal place for a luxurious holiday.
