The Old Forge, St Just

The Old Forge is a three-bedroom cottage near St Just for six guests, with three bathrooms. A private hot tub, a wood burner and an open fire give the group several ways to spend an evening at the property, and the garden has a barbecue for cooking outdoors.

WiFi, a dishwasher and a washing machine cover the practical side of a full week. Off-road parking is included, and changeover day is Saturday. Dogs are not accepted. The cottage has 68 reviews through Sykes, among the higher review counts in the area, which suggests a well-established booking history.

Priests Cove is 1.7 miles away beneath the headland of Cape Cornwall, a small rocky beach known for rock swimming and tidal pools. Gwynver Beach is also 1.7 miles from the cottage and is a wide surf beach that sees fewer visitors than Sennen Cove, itself 2.9 miles away with a working harbour and surf schools. St Just, a mile inland from Cape Cornwall, is the most westerly town in mainland England and sits within the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site.

**Best for:** A group of six wanting three bathrooms, a private hot tub and fireside evenings near St Just.

**Less good for:** Dog owners, or guests requiring step-free accommodation.
