Beautiful granite cottage with parking and garden. Near the coast. Dogs welcome.
End of terrace cottage with many exposed granite walls and wooden beams. Sunroom at the front. 2 double bedrooms and 1 bedroom with bunk beds. Bathroom with toilet, bath and shower. Second toilet.

Fully enclosed garden with lawn, patio and decking area. There is off road parking for several cars.
Ashton is a small village between Helston and Penzance. It is 1 mile from the coast, but you can see the sea (just!) from the master bedroom. Praa Sands is just 2 miles away as is the beautiful harbour village of Porthleven, which has several good pubs and restaurants including Rick Stein's. St Michael's Mount is 10 minutes away. Land's End, St Ives and the stunning Lizard Peninsula are all within half an hour's drive, and further afield is the Eden Project. There are many National Trust properties nearby, and we are in the heart of Poldark country. The cottage is set back from the main road, and is therefore quiet and free from traffic noise. The Lion and Lamb pub is about 150yards away. We are 150 yards from the main bus route between Penzance and Falmouth.
The cottage is our home, and has been for over 25 years. We work away from home for 8 months of the year, and so would rather the cottage was used and enjoyed, rather than standing empty.
There is a high chair that can be made available for you to use at your own risk. There is also a washing machine and tumble drier for your convenience. Please note that electric cars cannot be charged at the house. There are public charging points in Porthleven and Helston.

The cottage was ideal for our needs. It easily accomodated 5 adults. Close to many beaches. Supermarkets in both Penzance & Helston are easy to get to. The pub in the village is very welcoming. Would definitely recommend.
We found it easy to explore the gorgeous local areas with this lovely house as our base. We had some delicious meals in Porthleven, which is a short drive from the house, and days out further afield. We had everything we needed in this cosy home.
The property was lovely everything you needed in a quiet setting excellent property at the end of the lane for food and drinking easily in reach even though I struggle with mobility
If you are of limited mobility the stairs are not bad only a few with gentle incline
The friendly welcome with flowers and wine in a well structured and very nice house with a lovely Garden for a beautiful stay with family and two dogs let us enjoy two wonderful weeks in which we got to know a lot of fantastic and different places in Cornwall. If we had a question, we always got immediatly help by Jane.
Great property, ticked all the boxes. Communication was great, comfy beds and very clean. The dog loved the large garden. The kitchen was well stocked and lots of cupboard space. Used the bus to travel locally. Will be back.
Beautiful cottage with a lovely enclosed garden, spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Lovely park and local pub with good food both within a 5 minute walk. Between Jane and the book in the cottage we had all the info we required. Would definitely recommend, thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home.
The cottage has lots of charm and character in a good location, right in the middle of all the local attractions. The garden was great and a good size, parking for 3 cars. I would definitely recommend staying at the cottage, it had everything we needed ( just like home from home), we had a great holiday and the weather was good.
Thanks Ray and Heather
We really enjoyed two weeks in the cottage. As it is a home, that meant that it was practically equipped, unlike so many rentals. Jane was very responsive and helpful before and during the stay. We enjoyed walking to the sea from the house and it is really well located for everything that SW Cornwall has to offer. The local pub is great and Porthleven is just a few minutes away (or a coastal walk). The easy parking and lovely outdoor space at the back was also much appreciated. We would definitely come back!
Amazing cozy cottage. I don't think the photos actually do this cottage justice! So much roomier than it looks on the photos. We didn't want to come home! The village had a power cut one afternoon and the owners were brilliant for getting in touch with and checked in with us after a couple of hours to check it had come back on. Really peaceful village and our 2 dogs loved the garden! Will definitely be back fingers crossed! Thankyou for the wonderful stay!
The Cottage and garden were perfect very traditional and full of character. Beds were very comfy the shower was great and easy to use. The main bathroom was very swish -loved all the glitter touches. The piano had an amazing sound. Leather sofa/chairs in Lounge were so comfortable to sit in. We also sat in the front porch some of the time. There was a huge airer in there which if we had needed it would of been very helpful. Thankfully we had excellent weather. The location is perfect for so many attractions/beaches. The Lizard, Praa Sands, Marazion, Perranporth Beach and harbour, Helston, Perran Sands at low tide to name a few. We felt like we were coming home each time we returned to Thurcroft Cottage. We found an excellent walk from the cottage. Up the lane turn right and right into the Ashton Amenities Field (great for dogs). In the far left corner there is a lane that takes you to the Garden centre and Kitchen Cafe in Breage. Well worth a visit. We would definitely pay a return visit. We also had an amazing meal out at The Coach & Horses. We love Cornwall.

Good cottage for seeing west cornwall
The cottage had everything you need my grandchildren loved it the only negative is the immersion heater wasn't working whilst we were there so no hot water to wash pots and have a wash no dishwasher either

About the host
Hosted by Jane and Macky
We have lived in this lovely cottage for over 27 years and have brought up two children, who now have their own children! We work away from March to November running a caravan site, and move back home for the winter. We are very attached to the place, and love to see it being used. We have a miniature schnauzer called Finley so we welcome one or two well behaved dogs.
