Luxurious retreat on the edge of St Just, nestled in the countryside yet a short distance to the coast making this a superb property to explore West Cornwall

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.

Beautiful cottage, very comfortable and well equipped in a glorious spot. It is 10 minutes walk to the village up quite a steep short hill. We loved staying here and visited some of the beautiful coast.

The old Sunday school was very clean and tidy, the welcoming packs were a lovely touch. Our only complaint was the smell of damp and this was evident around the walls, We do appreciate it is an old building, but this can be addressed to be rectified

Hi. We had a lovely week at Sunday School. I found the garden sheers in the shed and cut a path to the upper table to make it usable. Lovely gardens but need gardening!

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.

This is a lovely building. Full of nice touches. Everything you could need for cooking and washing. Lovely summerhouse but garden very overgrown. Logs only provided in winter season. Nowhere to hang coats in hall as suggested on website. Was a gas BBQ but no gas bottle in situ. As previous guests commented Driveway is very tight and it is a narrow Read moreroad. But we would stay again when in the area. Would give it a 4 overall. Hide
