The cottage in Trowan, located near the vibrant seaside town of St Ives in Cornwall, offers a serene retreat within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This beautifully furnished period property is surrounded by ancient farmland and boasts spectacular cliff-top views of the sea, making it an ideal getaway for those seeking tranquility. Just a mile away, guests can easily access the lively atmosphere, beaches, and various attractions of St Ives, while also enjoying the extensive sea-facing garden and patio for leisurely days spent outdoors.
Accommodating up to four guests, the cottage features two double bedrooms, both of which provide picturesque views over the meadows toward the sea. However, it is worth noting that the second bedroom may experience noise during windy conditions, a factor beyond the owners' control. The open-plan design of the downstairs area promotes easy living, with slate floors complementing a fully equipped kitchen, a large dining table, and a cozy lounge area complete with a wood burner, perfect for warm and inviting winter nights.
The hamlet of Trowan is conveniently situated at the end of a farm lane, offering parking for two cars, and is ideally positioned for walkers. With direct access to the coast path and various public footpaths, guests can explore routes leading into St Ives or venture towards the charming village of Zennor, known for its popular pub, the Tinners Arms. This location allows for a blend of outdoor adventure and cultural experiences, ensuring a fulfilling stay for all visitors.
In addition to the natural beauty surrounding the cottage, guests can explore local cultural highlights such as the Leach Pottery Museum and St. Ives Theatre. The area offers a range of activities, including scuba diving, snorkeling, horse riding, and cycling, providing ample opportunities for adventure on land and sea. The nearby St Ives Harbour and South West Coast Path Section 20 Trailhead further enhance the appeal of this idyllic Cornish retreat, making it a perfect destination for relaxation and exploration.
