Trevean

Trevean is a two-bedroom cottage in Bridge, a small village between Redruth and the north Cornwall coast, sleeping 4 with 1 bathroom. The cottage holds a 10 out of 10 rating from 57 reviews on Sykes - an unusually high score that reflects repeat guests. A wood burner and an open fire mean the property works well outside summer, and the enclosed garden with BBQ extends the appeal in warmer months.

Inside, the kitchen has a dishwasher, and parking and Wi-Fi are included. The Saturday changeover suits those travelling over a weekend. No washing machine is available. The layout suits two couples or a small family.

Portreath Beach is about 1.3 miles away - a sandy north coast beach with reliable surf, rock pools at the western end, and RNLI lifeguards in summer. Tehidy Country Park, 250 acres of ancient woodland, sits between the cottage and the coast and connects to the cliff top via footpaths. The Great Flat Lode Trail passes through the area, linking the old mining engine houses between Redruth and the sea. Heartlands, the free Cornish mining heritage centre on the edge of Redruth, is within easy reach by car.

**Best for:** Couples or small families wanting a quiet inland base with good coast access, a high-rated property, and the character of a working cottage with real fires.

**Less good for:** Those needing a washing machine, or travellers with dogs - pets are not accepted at this property.
