Stargazy Skies

Stargazy Skies is a 1-bedroom cottage on Beacon Drive in St Agnes, sleeping 2 with 1 bathroom. The elevated position on Beacon Drive is characteristic of St Agnes - the village sits on a ridge with former mining landscape all around and sea glimpsed from higher ground.

Trevaunance Cove is 2.1km downhill, a small surf beach at the foot of the valley with a seasonal cafe. Trevellas Cove is 2.6km, less visited and reached by a steep descent. Perranporth, the area's main beach with 3 miles of sand, is 6.6km south.

St Agnes village has a bakery, pubs including the Taphouse, and the Blue Hills Tin Streams heritage site within a mile. The Wheal Coates engine house, photographed more than almost any other mine ruin in Cornwall, is a short walk along the coast path north of the village.

Included: Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, washing machine, open fire, and enclosed garden. No hot tub or pets.

Best for couples who want a village base with character and good walking access to mine heritage and coast path. Works for those who prefer cooking in and using the fire in the evenings. Less good for guests needing beach-adjacent accommodation or those who want a warmer evening feature like a hot tub. Rated 4 out of 5 from 7 guest reviews. Friday changeover.
