“The first thing we fell for when we saw this house was its location. It is minutes away from the beautiful beaches at Porthcurno and Sennen and not much further to the popular restaurants in Newlyn and Mousehole. However, tucked away in a quiet hamlet, once you step inside there is a real feeling of escape and seclusion.” Owners, Alina and Philip
They love
“The far-reaching views from every room; this is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, breathtaking whatever the weather.”
We love
The thought of long lazy days here with our families: kids running free, and being able to jump in and out of the pool while adults watch from the hot tub, then easy BBQs for dinner every night.
You may not love
Top end pricewise (though to be expected for this prime location and a pool). A 3-night minimum stay. You’ll need a car to get here and around. The roof tiles can rattle when windy, but earplugs are provided! Additional charge for dogs.

- Porthcurno beach is idyllic; a sheltered cove with Caribbean-esque white sands and turquoise waves (10 mins’ drive).
- Catch some culture at The Minack above; an open-air theatre perched on the rugged cliffs (worth visiting even if you don’t have tickets).
- Swell-magnet Sennen Cove is one of Cornwall’s — if not the UK’s — top surf spots. Don’t forget your neoprene.
- A 20-minute drive can deliver you to Mousehole (a historic fishing village), Penzance (an artist’s paradise) and Newlyn (the place to buy fresh fish for the BBQ). Lovetts Coffee and cocktail bar is a local lifeforce at the latter.
- St Ives has golden beaches (Gwithian and Porthmeor are the best), modern art at The Tate, and breezy coastal walks along Zennor Head (have lunch at The Gurnard’s Head en route).
- Go wine-tasting at the award-winning, family-run Polgoon vineyard in Penzance.

There are neighbours in the hamlet but none very close and all rooms face into the garden, which is not overlooked at all, so it feels very private.
