Tas Gwynn

Tas Gwynn is a two-bedroom cottage in the village of St Buryan, sleeping 4 in 1 bathroom with a wood burner and open fire. The name is Cornish, and the property sits in one of West Penwith's inland villages - quiet, stone-built, and within a few kilometres of some of the most dramatic coastline in Cornwall. An enclosed garden and parking for one car complete the practical amenities. WiFi and a washing machine are included. Dogs are welcome. From £365 per night.

Penberth Cove is 3km away - a working fishing cove with a slipway and lobster pots, owned by the National Trust and largely unchanged for generations. Pedn Vounder is 3.6km, a remote sand cove accessible by a steep coastal path. Porthcurno - home to the Minack Theatre cut into the clifftop - is 4.1km and has a café and car park at the beach. Land's End is roughly 7km west, and Mousehole and Newlyn are driveable in around 20 minutes.

Good for couples or small families of 4 who want to explore the far west of Cornwall at their own pace from a quiet village base. Works well for walkers using the South West Coast Path, which is accessible within a short drive from the cottage. Not ideal for guests who want to walk to a beach from the door - all nearby beaches require a car journey or a sustained coastal hike.
