Lower Rissick Cottage

Lower Rissick Cottage is a one-bedroom barn conversion at Crows-an-Wra near St Buryan, sleeping 2 in the far west of the Penwith peninsula. The cottage sits in open agricultural land between Penzance and Land's End, roughly equidistant from both. The double bedroom and shower room are on the ground floor, and a flight of stairs leads up to the open-plan kitchen and living area. There is off-road parking for two cars, 5 metres from the door, and Wi-Fi. A private south-facing lawned garden is for guests' sole use.

Gwynver Beach is 1.9 miles from the cottage - a wide, Atlantic-facing sandy beach that runs north from Sennen and is often quieter than Sennen Cove, a ten minute drive away. Sennen Cove has a surf school, a lifeboat station, a pub, and a cafe on the seafront. The South West Coast Path connects both beaches and continues to Land's End, around 3.7 miles south-west of the cottage.

The Minack Theatre at Porthcurno - an open-air cliff-top theatre carved into the granite headland - is around 3.1 miles from the cottage. Performances run from May to September, with the theatre also open as a visitor attraction year-round during daylight hours. Lamorna Cove, a small rocky inlet on the south Penwith coast, is a short drive.

Right for couples who want a base close to Land's End and the west Cornwall coast path. Land's End Airport is a five minute drive. Babies are welcome, but regretfully the owners do not take children over the age of two. Note that the living area is up a flight of stairs from the bedroom. Also suits walkers focused on the Penwith coastal stretch between Sennen and St Ives. Less good for guests wanting village amenities on the doorstep - St Buryan is a small inland village with a church and a pub. Saturday changeover.
