This stylish holiday home on the Penwith Heritage Coast is perfectly placed for exploring beautiful West Cornwall, with iconic destinations such as Porthcurno and St Ives within 13 miles. The Cornish bolthole sleeps four guests, making it perfect for couples and small families. The open-plan layout lends itself to entertaining, along with the pretty cottage garden which is equipped with a BBQ and beautiful summerhouse. After a long walk along the South West Coast Path, snuggle up in front of the cosy wood burner.

The property is bursting with style and elegance, with little luxurious touches here and there to make your stay feel extra special. The magnificent lounge area, with large windows, high ceilings and wooden floors, is the perfect backdrop to evenings of great chat over a bottle of wine or a movie night with friends in front of the Smart TV. A large dining table sits next to a window overlooking the garden, where you can all come together for delicious meals and to plan your next adventure. The first-floor bathroom deserves a special mention, with its invigorating rainfall shower and gorgeous bath under a skylight. Outside, a picture-postcard garden awaits of rambling pathways, mature shrubs, a summerhouse, garden furniture and a BBQ.

A journey just 9 miles south will bring you to Porthcurno, home to the world-famous Minack Theatre. Here, you’ll find a stunning open-air theatre carved into the cliffs, where you can watch a show whilst overlooking the turquoise waters of Porthcurno Bay. You’ll be hard pushed to find a more dramatic setting for a theatre production! Stunning St Ives is 13 miles along the coast and is a must for the itinerary if you’re looking for quintessential Cornish charm. Here, you’ll discover cute fishermen’s cottages, narrow cobbled streets, sandy beaches, and an idyllic harbour.

What a lovely place to spend time in. In a great location with a friendly and welcoming local community. The Old Sunday School is a well planned and very tasteful conversion with ample space and easy access to all rooms. The cottage is very well equipped wanting for nothing. The wood burner is very warming and the living room bright and cheerful. TRead morehe property was very clean and the linen crisp and spotless. The beds comfortable and large. Ample bedside sockets and generous wardrobe space. Hot water on demand and a spacious shower and large bath. The garden is terraced, pretty and provides a number of spaces for sitting in the fresh air. Even in late February it caught the daytime sun and the valley provided shelter from the winds. The front garden provides parking for two vehicles and although the entrance is narrow it accommodated two medium sized SUVs. A very generous welcome pack greeted our arrival. Thoroughly recommend a stay here. Hide

Very nice location. The welcome pack was appreciated. Very comfy bed in the main room. The house was cosy and the heating simple to operate we could have done with a bit more fire wood as it was cold and rainy and the fire really cheered up the room.

The first bundle of logs for the wood burner is supplied on arrival, but like most other cottages with this feature, further fire wood is for guests to provide. Hide

The cottage looked great on the website. The interior also matched the photos. What was disappointing was the state of maintenance and care. The kitchen was simply greasy and dirty.

It beautifully decorated and spacious retreat that has retained it's historical character while upgrading through out with modern comforts. We especially like having an enclosable outside area for the safety of our dog, Zoe, who traveled with us. She loved the walks in the countryside with us.

Typical Cornish character with a twist as an old Sunday School. Short walk up a steep hill to village which has ample facilities- we were there at festival time so that was an added bonus. Got takeaway pizza in village and had a drink one evening. Convenient to many of the go-to places in south Cornwall.
