Higher Roskestal

Higher Roskestal is a 3-bedroom cottage near Porthgwarra on Cornwall's far south-west coast, sleeping 6 guests with an open fire in the living room. The property sits at the end of a quiet lane, less than a mile from one of Penwith's most remote working coves.

Inside, the cottage has a king-size double with en-suite walk-in shower, a twin with its own en-suite, and a second twin sharing a separate bathroom. A cloakroom, utility room, and kitchen with dishwasher and fridge/freezer complete the ground floor. The living and dining room centres on a woodburning stove, with a separate snug for quieter evenings. Smart TV with Netflix and WiFi are included.

The enclosed rear garden has lawn and outdoor furniture, with ample off-road parking. Porthgwarra Beach - a rocky cove known for snorkelling and rock pooling - is 700 metres away. Porthchapel Beach, a sandy cove below the Minack Theatre, sits 0.7 miles distant, and Porthcurno's famous sand beach is 0.7 miles along the coast path.

This stretch of coast near Land's End draws walkers, divers, and birdwatchers rather than crowds. The nearest pub is 2.3 miles away, and St Buryan village is about 3 miles inland. The Minack Theatre and Porthcurno Telegraph Museum are both within walking distance along the cliff path.

Best for a family or group of six wanting genuine seclusion near three remote south-coast coves. Less good for anyone wanting a pub or shop within walking distance - the nearest pub is 2.3 miles away.
