Charming Cornish Cottage in the heart of St Agnes

This two-bedroom cottage sits in the centre of St Agnes, on Churchtown just off the village square. It sleeps up to five across a king bedroom, a single room with a pullout mattress and a sofa bed in the lounge. Rated 9.4 from 24 guest reviews, with a 9.6 score for location specifically.

The kitchen was rebuilt with underfloor heating, a double oven, induction hob and integrated dishwasher, plus a dining table that seats six. A snug room off the lounge gives children or dogs their own space, and a wood burner keeps the sitting room warm on cooler evenings. A private, dog-friendly garden and terrace complete the property, with a barbecue for evening use.

Trevaunance Cove is 900 metres from the cottage, a walk of around ten minutes down a footpath, with Schooners restaurant on the waterfront for a post-surf meal. St Agnes itself has a bakery, butcher and greengrocer within a few minutes' walk, plus the St Agnes Hotel pub next door. The village sits within the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, among old engine houses and tin-mine workings once used as a filming location for Poldark.

Best for families or groups wanting village-centre convenience and a short walk to shops. Less good for anyone wanting off-street parking, since the cottage relies on street parking nearby.
