Meadowside

Meadowside is a two-bedroom cottage at Borah Farm in Lamorna, a wooded valley running down to a small granite-quayed cove about four miles south of Penzance. It sleeps four across two bedrooms sharing one bathroom; check bed sizes with the provider before booking. The valley was once home to one of Cornwall's leading artists' colonies, led by Samuel "Lamorna" Birch from his base at nearby Flagstaff Cottage.

A private hot tub, a wood burner and a separate open fire give three ways to warm up after a day on the coast path. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher, a washing machine, a garden and a barbecue are all included. Two well-behaved pets are welcome. The living space and both bedrooms are on the ground floor. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.

Lamorna Cove is 800 metres away, with its granite quay and a beach that fills at high tide. Mousehole Beach is 1.9 miles and Penberth Cove is 2.9 miles. The Merry Maidens stone circle, a Bronze Age ring of 19 granite stones, stands half a mile inland.

The Lamorna Wink pub, partway down the valley, is the only commercial spot within walking distance. Friday is the standard changeover day.

**Best for:** Couples or small families wanting a private hot tub, two fire features and a ground-floor layout close to Lamorna Cove.

**Less good for:** Guests wanting more than one bathroom, EV drivers or anyone needing a confirmed bed configuration.
