The nearest pub, The Gurnards Head, with its award winning restaurant, is a leisurely five minute walk away and the beaches, restaurants, shops, galleries, cafes and bars of St Ives are just a fifteen minute drive along the coast. The historic village of Zennor and the renowned Tinners Arms is a mile away on the footpath across the fields - the scenery is spectacular with the sea as your backdrop. There are countless other walking opportunities literally on the doorstep.
Equipped with all the necessities of modern day living, the fixtures and fittings are top quality but still in keeping with the traditional nature of the building. Soft painted plasterwork, real oak and designer textiles in gentle seaside shades create a calming space in the open plan living area. The private enclosed garden has far reaching countryside views and a lovely decked area with seating, just the spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled! After a day of sea and surf or walking the coastal path the six foot bath is the place for a good long soak and the comfy mattress on the beautiful king size bed will aid a restful night’s sleep.

The perfect place to escape to, we loved being able to walk to the pub in the evening, great food.
Haven't felt so relaxed in years ! A truly idyllic location and we are already missing being able to enjoy a glass of wine whilst watching the sunset.
Thank you so much for making our first holiday as a couple so special, the scenery is stunning and we felt thorougly spoiled.
Amazing in every aspect, cant wait to return.
We had worried it was a bit out of the way,our fears were unfounded. In reality its a hidden gem, parking at Trowan and walking into St Ives was super.
We loved it so much we spent more time at the cottage than anywhere else, the walk to Zennor village is a must - so pretty.
