Gwel Nans

Gwel Nans is a contemporary three-bedroom house in Trevellas, near St Agnes, with eco-friendly electric heating and a woodburning stove. The property sits on elevated ground above the coast, within walking distance of two coves.

Inside, the kitchen-diner opens into a sitting room where the woodburning stove provides a focal point. Three bedrooms include a king-size with en-suite walk-in shower, a double, and a twin with bunk beds and an optional roll-out bed. A family bathroom has a bath with shower over, and a ground-floor cloakroom adds a third WC. The kitchen has an induction hob, electric oven, microwave, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. Smart TV and WiFi are included throughout.

Off-road parking fits two cars, and EV charging is available from an external socket. The garden combines lawn and decking areas with outdoor furniture. Trevellas Cove - a rugged shingle cove with clear water for snorkelling and shore fishing - is 1.1 miles away. Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes's main beach with surf and beachside cafes, sits 1.4 miles to the southwest.

St Agnes has a creative, independent character - galleries, craft shops and the Taphouse pub line the narrow valley running down to the coast. St Agnes Beacon, a short walk uphill, gives 360-degree views across Cornwall. The coast path south leads to Cligga Head, while Perranporth Beach is 1.7 miles further along the coast.

Nearby: Trevellas Cove (1.1 miles) and Trevaunance Cove (1.4 miles). See our Perranzabuloe guide for more beaches and walks in the area.

Best for a family with children who'll use the bunk-bed twin room, and for guests wanting to charge an electric car overnight. Less suited to those travelling with a dog, since dogs are not accepted here.
