The Old Piggeries

The Old Piggeries is a two-bedroom cottage near Gulval, sleeping 4 between Penzance and St Ives on Mount's Bay. Its main draw is the combination of a private hot tub and access to a shared swimming pool, rather than a long list of bedroom extras.

The cottage has 1 bathroom for all 4 guests. Bed sizes aren't specified, so groups needing a particular arrangement should confirm them before booking. Wi-Fi and a dishwasher are included. Pets are not accepted.

An enclosed garden gives the cottage defined private outdoor space around the hot tub. Parking is provided. The pool is shared, so it should not be treated as an exclusive facility. Saturday is the stated changeover day, which may shape week-long travel plans.

Eastern Green Beach is 0.9 miles away, with Long Rock Beach 1.3 miles from the property and Marazion Beach 2.5 miles along the bay. The Gulval guide provides local context for this part of Mount's Bay and the routes towards Penzance, whose shops, galleries and railway station make the cottage a workable car-free base after arrival.

Seven Sykes reviews put the cottage at 3 out of 5, so it is best approached as a practical base with good facilities rather than a luxury stay.

**Best for:** a family or two couples prioritising a private hot tub, pool access and an enclosed garden near Penzance.

**Less good for:** dog owners, groups requiring more than one bathroom, or guests expecting a private pool, a washing machine or a high-end finish.
