Charming Cornish Cottage in the heart of St Agnes

This dog-friendly cottage sits at 12A Churchtown in St Agnes, a former tin-mining village on Cornwall's north coast. The two-bedroom property occupies a central position in the village, within walking distance of Trevaunance Cove below. Rated 9.1 on Booking.com across 18 reviews, it scores 9.6 for location.

A wood burner anchors the living room, and the kitchen comes with a dishwasher, microwave, and washing machine. WiFi is included throughout. A work desk and private entrance make the cottage practical for longer stays or remote working.

Outside, there is a garden with terrace, barbecue, and balcony. Trevaunance Cove - sandy, set between high headlands, and reliable for surf - is a short walk downhill from the village centre.

St Agnes has a creative, slightly edgier character than many Cornish villages, with independent galleries, cafes, and pubs lining the narrow valley down to the coast. The Taphouse is a proper local with live music. The South West Coast Path connects Chapel Porth to the south and Porthtowan beyond, while Wheal Coates engine house stands on the cliffs above Chapel Porth - one of the most photographed buildings in Cornwall. St Agnes Beacon, managed by the National Trust, gives 360-degree views across the county. Check-in is at 15:00, check-out at 10:00.
