Oriel Cottage

Oriel Cottage is a 2-bedroom cottage in St Agnes, sleeping 4 with 1 bathroom. It sits in the village with parking, a wood burner, and a courtyard garden with a BBQ. No dogs.

The kitchen has a dishwasher and there is a washing machine. The kitchen has a four-ring induction hob, an electric oven and a fridge, and the dining table seats four. A garage 200 yards up the lane stores bikes, kayaks or surfboards, with parking beside it for one car. The wood burner in the living room makes it a practical choice outside the summer months. Trevaunance Cove, St Agnes's main surf beach, is 0.8 miles on foot - a steep road down through old mine workings to a sand and shingle cove with a surf school operating through the season.

Perranporth beach is 3.5 miles south, a 3-mile stretch of sand with The Watering Hole, the UK's only licensed bar located directly on the beach. St Agnes village has a pub, a butcher, a bakery, and several independent cafes. The St Agnes headland walks take in the remains of Wheal Coates tin mine, a National Landscape (formerly AONB) site with the engine houses still standing above the cliffs.

Best for couples or families of four who want a village base in St Agnes with easy access to the surf beaches and coast path. Less good for guests who want to bring a dog.
