Pendeen Watch Cottage

Pendeen Watch Cottage is a nineteenth-century cottage for five in Pendeen, a former tin and copper mining village on the north Penwith coast between St Just and St Ives. Its three bedrooms comprise a king, a twin that can become a super-king on request, and a single. One bathroom serves the full group, so the layout suits a family more comfortably than three couples.

Sea views, a wood burner and an enclosed private garden with a BBQ shape the stay. WiFi, parking, a dishwasher and washing machine are included. Dogs are not accepted. Three steps lead down from the lounge to the dining area, and the bedrooms are upstairs, with a couple of steps down into the king-size bedroom.

The village sits on the Tin Coast section of the South West Coast Path, within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site, and clifftop walks pass engine house ruins in both directions. Priests Cove is 2.7 miles away, Gwynver Beach is 4.5 miles away and Sennen Cove is 5.6 miles away. St Ives is around 8 miles northeast and Penzance is a further drive south for wider outings.

**Best for:** Families wanting flexible beds, sea views, a wood burner, enclosed garden and laundry facilities.

**Less good for:** Five guests wanting more than one bathroom, or anyone who needs step-free access, given the steps down to the dining area and the upstairs bedrooms.
