Miners

Miners is a contemporary 4-bedroom house in Carharrack, a quiet village near Redruth in Cornwall's mining country. Built across three reverse-level floors, the property sleeps 10 with 2 king-size bedrooms, 1 twin, and a family room containing a king-size and 2 singles. Three bathrooms are distributed across the floors.

The top floor contains the main living space - an open-plan lounge, kitchen, and dining room reached by spiral staircase. The kitchen is fitted with an induction hob, combination oven/microwave, American-style fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and Nespresso machine. A 10-seat dining table anchors the room. The lounge has a wood burner, Smart TV, and glass doors opening to a wide balcony. The middle floor holds the master bedroom with en-suite shower and private balcony, plus a twin room and family bathroom with bath and separate shower. Two ground-floor bedrooms share a shower room, and a utility has a washing machine and tumble dryer. A ground-source heat pump powers the underfloor heating.

A hot tub on the enclosed middle-floor balcony is the main outdoor feature. Further balconies on the master bedroom and top floor offer seating areas with views. A patio on the ground floor opens from the king-size bedroom. Parking is on site, and 3 dogs are welcome. The kitchen and lounge are up a spiral staircase, which makes for a climb with groceries.

Portreath Beach lies 5.3 miles to the north, a sandy stretch with surf and summer lifeguards. Trevaunance Cove at St Agnes is 6.5 miles away. The 37.3 miles mineral tramways cycling and walking network starts from the doorstep. Central Cornwall location puts the Eden Project, Tate St Ives, and Falmouth's National Maritime Museum within practical day-trip range.

Best for larger groups or multi-generational families wanting a hot tub and wood burner in one stay, with parking on site and up to three dogs welcome.
