Green Acres Cottages

Green Acres Cottages is a 4-star cottage complex at Penpillick near Par, set within 2 acres of grounds on Cornwall's south coast. The standout feature is an indoor heated swimming pool - a genuine asset in any season, and one that sets these cottages apart from most rural self-catering options in the area. Dogs are welcome.

Each cottage has a well-equipped kitchen with electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, and separate freezer. The living room has a wood burner and TV, and the cottages include 2 bathrooms. Free WiFi and private parking are provided on site.

Outside, the 2-acre grounds include a children's play area, giving families room to spread out. The rural setting near Penpillick is quiet, though the A390 keeps Par and the coast within easy reach.

Par Beach - a broad, family-friendly stretch of sand backed by dunes with views across St Austell Bay - is about 3 miles away. The Eden Project, Cornwall's biggest visitor attraction, is roughly 3 miles inland. Fowey is a short drive south, Charlestown's Georgian harbour is nearby, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are within reach. Par has its own mainline rail station, making the cottages accessible without a car - a practical advantage for visitors arriving by train.

Nearby: Carlyon Bay (5.3km) and Charlestown Beach (6.2km). See our St Blazey guide for more beaches and walks in the area.
