Chapel Cottage

Chapel Cottage is a 2-bedroom property in St Mawgan, a well-preserved village in the Vale of Mawgan about 5 miles north-east of Newquay. Originally part of the village forge, the cottage sleeps 4 and sits within walking distance of the Falcon Inn, the village store, and St Mawgan’s 13th-century church.

Inside, the cottage accommodates up to 4 guests across 2 bedrooms. On-site parking is included - a practical feature given the narrow lanes through the vale. Prices start from 489 per week with Saturday changeover.

The Japanese Garden at Lanherne Convent, a small but distinctive collection within the grounds of the 17th-century Carmelite convent, is open to visitors on specific days. A walking path runs from the village to the coast at Mawgan Porth - about 2.5 miles through sheltered woodland along the Menahyl stream. Mawgan Porth beach is 2.7 km away, a sandy family beach with intermediate surf that draws smaller crowds than the Newquay beaches. Watergate Bay is 3.5 km, and Bedruthan Steps 4.3 km along the coast.

St Mawgan sits in one of the warmest and most sheltered microclimates in north Cornwall, noticeably milder than the exposed clifftops nearby. Padstow is about 10 miles north-west, Newquay 6 miles south-west, and Cornwall Airport Newquay roughly 3 miles away - making the cottage a convenient base for fly-to visitors.
