Scilly Stack

Scilly Stack sits in a clifftop hamlet above Cape Cornwall, on the outskirts of St Just, with sea views and rare breed cattle grazing the surrounding farmland. It is a single-storey cottage for two, with one king-size bedroom and an en-suite walk-in shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC. Slate flooring runs through the open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting area, where a woodburning stove heats the evenings.

The kitchen has an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice box, a slimline dishwasher, coffee machine, toaster and wine cooler. There is a Smart TV and WiFi, central heating, and bed linen, towels and bath robes are included along with fuel and power. Outside, an enclosed garden has a lawn, decking and furniture, plus the wood-fired pizza oven. Parking is off-road for one car.

Cape Cornwall is a short walk away, and footpaths from the door lead northeast towards St Ives or southwest towards Land's End. St Just is 1 mile away, with a shop and pub, and Penzance is 7.2 miles. Two well-behaved pets are welcome. Smoking is not allowed, and the cottage does not accept Saturday changeovers: a booking made with one may be cancelled.

It suits a couple, particularly with dogs, and is less good for anyone needing a second bedroom.
