Priests Cove at Cape Cornwall is 3.8km to the south-west - a working cove used by local fishing boats, with a launch ramp and access to the Cape Cornwall headland. Gwynver Beach is 6.9km and Sennen Cove is 8.7km, both surfable beaches facing the Atlantic. The Geevor Tin Mine Museum, one of the best-preserved tin mining sites in Cornwall, is less than half a mile from the cottage.

Pendeen sits on the far west of the Penwith peninsula, north of Land's End. St Ives is around 10 miles to the south-east, reachable in under 20 minutes by car. The B3306 coast road connects Pendeen to St Just (2 miles south), which has a pub and a small supermarket. The area suits walkers and those interested in Cornwall's industrial heritage.

Suits couples or a small family wanting a quiet west Cornwall base with good proximity to both coastal walking and Penwith heritage sites. From £627/night. Not great for guests wanting a lively or well-serviced village base - Pendeen is small and services are limited to the immediate area.
