Tinners Rest

Tinners Rest is a three-bedroom stone cottage in Boscaswell Gardens in Pendeen village, sleeping 5 with 1 bathroom, a wood burner, and an open fire. The living room, kitchen and a cloakroom are on the ground floor, with the three bedrooms upstairs, and there are patios at the front and rear. Off-road parking for two cars, a dishwasher, and Wi-Fi are included. One well-behaved pet is welcome. Friday changeover.

Pendeen is a former tin-mining village on the northwest tip of the Penwith peninsula. The Geevor Tin Mine museum - which preserves the surface and underground workings of one of the last operational mines in Cornwall - is within a short drive and open to visitors throughout the year. Levant Mine, a National Trust property on the cliff edge, is similarly close. Both are among the more historically significant industrial sites in the county.

Priest's Cove at Cape Cornwall is 2.5 miles. It is a small, rocky cove accessed via a short cliff path and is one of the few remaining working fishing coves on this stretch of coastline. Gwynver Beach, a quieter surf beach north of Sennen, is 4.5 miles.

The village has a post office, a shop, and a pub. The B3306 coastal road runs nearby, connecting Pendeen to St Just to the south and Zennor to the east. St Just is the nearest market town with a wider range of services.

Best for groups of up to 5 who want a base for exploring the far west of Cornwall - the mining landscape, coastal walks, and the Penwith moors. Less good for anyone wanting sandy beach access within walking distance.
