Large windows in the living room and a balcony look out over the surrounding countryside and the sea beyond, with views reaching towards St Ives and St Agnes on a clear day. The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering, with a dishwasher and washing machine included. A family bathroom with bath and separate shower serves both bedrooms. Free WiFi and free on-site parking come with the booking, and dogs are welcome throughout.

The private garden has a swing set and lawn space, useful for younger guests. The cottage sits in Wheal Buller, with easy access to the A30 for exploring further into Cornwall.

Portreath Beach is 4.5 miles away, and Carn Brea is the nearest town, with Godrevy Beach 7.6 miles further along the coast.

Best for couples or families wanting a rural base with sea views and easy road access to west Cornwall. Less good for anyone wanting to walk to the coast, since the closest beaches are a drive away.
