Take your loved ones to the Cornish coast for a relaxing break in this charming and characterful three-bedroom converted mid-19th-century chapel. Its unique original features like arched chapel windows and wooden beamed ceilings are complemented by contrasting contemporary touches – like bold feature walls and a Scandinavian wood burner. Explore the surrounding Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty to discover historical landmarks, idyllic sandy coves and cliff-top walking trails. 

Step inside of the bright and airy open-plan living space which is overlooked by a mezzanine. The country-style kitchen is stylish and homely with contrasting colours while boasting an electric Range cooker. Gather at the dining table for special evening meals with your guests and relax on the sofas in the lounge in front of the wood burner and TV with an Amazon Fire Stick. There is also a twin bedroom on the ground floor. Upstairs are lounge chairs on the mezzanine plus a Juliet balcony. Beyond here are two family bathrooms and two king-size bedrooms – one with an en-suite. Outside is an enclosed courtyard with furniture and a BBQ.

During your stay in the quiet hamlet of Newbridge, you’ll have a convenient local pub on your doorstep (less than 200 metres) plus the Tanglewood Wild Garden and Bosvenning Common Nature Reserve within 0.5 miles. Being located between the east and west coast of Cornwall, you’ll benefit from easy access to both the major town of Penzance (3.5 miles) and the quiet beaches of the Penwith Heritage Coast (4 miles). Set off for a day of swimming, hiking along the coastal path and relaxing on sandy shores at Portheras Cove (4.5 miles). Dine at a waterfront seafood restaurant in Penzance, stroll around the harbour and visit the Penlee House Gallery & Museum.

Our favourite cottage after four visits to the Penwith Peninsula in recent years. The aesthetics were excellent, the cottage well equipped, comfortable and within easy drives of locations we like to visit. We would be happy to stay here again.

The cottage is a quirky little property which is very well equipped, especially in the kitchen. It was spotlessly clean on arrival. The owners had provided a really comprehensive guide with their recommendations for places to visit. Great spot for exploring this part of Cornwall. Parking is a bit tight, but manageable with a large vehicle.

The property is really well appointed with everything you could need. The beds were very comfortable and the converted old chapel has been finished to a really high standard. TV with an Amazon fire stick is provided and a Bluetooth speaker so you can connect your phone to play music. Washing machine is self dosing so no need to take any detergenRead moret and a washing pack is provided with washing up liquid and dishwasher tablets. It's in a good central location which means you're within a 15-20 minutes drive from north and south coast locations. It's a quiet village so don't expect too much excitement, just the pub. Penzance is a 8 minute drive and Sennan Cove about 15 minutes away. Hide

Lovely cottage, very spacious and well equipped. Road wasn't too noisy and a very good location for exploring everywhere. Most places were a 15 to 30 minute drive to any of the coasts. Parking is very tight for a large vehicle like a Range Rover.

Beautiful place! Incredibly chill and wonderful town just a short drive from Penzance. The complimentary tea and scones were such a lovely touch and a warm welcome after a long drive. The landlady at the pub, just a stones throw around the corner, was so friendly and welcoming and the food was good standard pub grub.
