What an incredible and magical place. We spent the most wonderful few days in this cottage. It's so quiet and peaceful and perfect for four people (also you could technically have another person sleeping there). You really feel like you're on the edge of the world and in wild nature. And the neighbours are so sweet, you really feel like you're a part of the community. The space itself is so cosy and lovely and the beds are so comfortable. The only thing is that we had trouble finding it but once we were there was amazing. We are so grateful and will be back.

Lovely stay in Cornwall

Lovely quiet destination in a quaint little cottage. Not far from St. Ives and very near my favourite place, Cape Cornwall. We really enjoyed our stay here and would love to come back again sometime.

Loved this cottage!

We loved staying in this cottage with the thick walls, window seats, and creaky floors. We were very comfortable and were glad to have use of the kitchen and washer/dryer. We walked down part of the coastal path and enjoyed the views. Very clean and cozy!

Simple but a great stay!

The house is very clearly a family owned place and not over done as so many holiday let’s are . Simple and cosy in a location close to many walks , sites etc but off the main tourist drags. Fight your way around St Ives or Mousehole if you want but this was better. Walks from the doorway and 2 pubs within walking distance.

Charming cottage minutes from coastal path

The cottage is decorated in a very simple and charming fashion so as not to detract from its historic character. It is very homely and well equipped and like home from home. It is only 5 minutes walk from the beautiful coastal path and is therefore ideal as a base for exploring the stunning coast line. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend without hesitation.

We are very happy with this review! All the reasons we love our family cottage. We are now three generations sharing in turns this lovely spot. Like this review says: “a home away from home”. And best of all it’s so near the sea! I saw a whole pod of dolphin swim by “our” Portheras Cove when I walked to the beach this week! And the wild flowers are incredible right now as are the birds.

I loved the cottage, it was clean, warm, cosy and comfortable. It had everything that we needed. The area is stunning, it's a spectacular bit of coast path. We loved the tin mine and managed to happily spend the whole day there when it was raining. We went to the village pub one evening and local musicians were jamming. The hosts were great at communicating with us and the lady who lives over the road and looks after the place was very helpful and friendly. I'd happily go and stay there again, I loved the place.

Fantastic short break

The cottage was lovely and only a few minutes walk from the coastal path. Despite a mixed bag of weather, we enjoyed a couple of sunsets and a starry night. We had a car so as well as local coastal walks; enjoyed finding the many surrounding ancient stones and trips to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and The Minack Theatre. All of which were wonderful. We ate at The Gurnards Head and The Tinners Arms - both were faultless in ambiance, service and food quality. Would love to return again some day.

Character cottage in a wonderful location

The cottage is unspoiled, it has wonderful character and has been renovated without losing an authentic feel. The location is superb. We were able to see the sea from the bedrooms, and watch awesome sunsets from the garden. There were always parking spaces about thirty yards from the property. The cottage was very clean and had good facilities. The location would be hard to beat if you like the wild and 'real 'Cornwall. We had a super time, relaxing and chilled.

Less is More

We're not the type who want a hot tub and big screen TV... we love the throwback to a previous era, and this stone cottage gave us exactly that. Peace, quiet, calm, and amazing views. This cottage is walking distance to some of the most amazing views in Cornwall. The cottage itself is 'spare' as it is described, and that is perfect.

Tin Miner's Cottage

A week in a traditional 2 bed , dog friendly tin miner's cottage. Very well equipped , with everything you could need ( though no microwave which would have been useful). Beds were very comfortable and shower was excellent. We did feel that maybe a rejig of the sitting area might be appropriate as there is limited comfortable sitting space with only one sofa. Heather & Chris who oversee the property are absolutely lovely and incredibly helpful. All in all a great week was had.

The most beautiful place on earth

We have just come back from the wonderfully relaxing, refreshing time ever. I really could have stayed forever! The cottage was clean, beautifully decorated and really cosy. Waking up to views of the sea everyday was definitely a big bonus. We spent days out going to Sennen Cove and walking along the coastal path exploring the old tin mines. One of the highlights of the week was a long coastal walk to St Ives on Thurs which was 13.5miles and took us a total of 6.5hrs but was worth it. Such stunning scenery. After that we felt entitled to a few days rest and recuperation - reading, playing scrabble and yoga. We spent most evenings in next to the wood burning stove and eating lovely meals made in the surprisingly well equipped kitchen. The cottage really is the most special place in the most wonderful location in the world and I feel very lucky to have been able to spend time there so thank you again!
Response from VrboOwner on 17 Mar 2020
We are delighted with this review! Always nice to hear from people who like our special place as much as we do. We still feel lucky to have spent over 30 years coming back here year after year. And if the weather is kind which it often is there is no better place. Of all our travels in the world this is still our favorite spot. Micheline and John Gunter and family, (who all enjoy it year after year as well as many of our repeat renters!)

Fabulous cottage but facilities need updating

Very convenient location to the coastal path to Levant mine one way and Pendeen lighthouse the other. Kitchen very well equipped. Bed comfy. Stunning fireplace. New shower is amazingly powerful and great after a long day walking. Would recommend staying and would stay again. Communication with property owner was very good and made the booking process easier. Lost stars due to vrbo not listing the property correctly and the app not sending access code. Vrbo states there is an electricity meter and to bring £1 coins for power. There was no meter (gas and electricity freely available) so needn't of bothered trying to find £1s! There is a washer/dryer but vrbo states a washing line is available with launderettes nearby. Vrbo app didn't load the access code so I had to ring the property manager to be able to get in on a wet day!

We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay Fiona! Apologies about the misinformation on the VRBO site, the removal of the £1 electric metre and new washer/dryer are very new updates to the cottage. I edited the main page, but missed a box on the facilities section - thanks so much for bringing it to my attention. All the best, Nicky
