About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautiful granite cottage with parking and garden. Near the coast. Dogs welcome.

End of terrace cottage with many exposed granite walls and wooden beams. Sunroom at the front. 2 double bedrooms and 1 bedroom with bunk beds. Bathroom with toilet, bath and shower. Second toilet. Open plan downstairs with lounge/diner and kitchen. The dining table comfortably seats 6. There is a piano which you are welcome to play. Central heating and log burner. Fully enclosed garden with lawn, patio and decking area. There is off road parking for several cars.

Ashton is a small village between Helston and Penzance. It is 1 mile from the coast, but you can see the sea (just!) from the master bedroom. Praa Sands is just 2 miles away as is the beautiful harbour village of Porthleven, which has several good pubs and restaurants including Rick Stein's. St Michael's Mount is 10 minutes away. Land's End, St Ives and the stunning Lizard Peninsula are all within half an hour's drive, and further afield is the Eden Project. There are many National Trust properties nearby, and we are in the heart of Poldark country. The cottage is set back from the main road, and is therefore quiet and free from traffic noise. The Lion and Lamb pub is about 150yards away. We are 150 yards from the main bus route between Penzance and Falmouth.

The cottage is our home, and has been for over 25 years. We work away from home for 8 months of the year, and so would rather the cottage was used and enjoyed, rather than standing empty.

There is a high chair that can be made available for you to use at your own risk. There is also a washing machine and tumble drier for your convenience. Please note that electric cars cannot be charged at the house. There are public charging points in Porthleven and Helston.

Perfect location

We found it easy to explore the gorgeous local areas with this lovely house as our base. We had some delicious meals in Porthleven, which is a short drive from the house, and days out further afield. We had everything we needed in this cosy home.

Comfortable cottage in a great location

We both had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. The cottage is situated in a great location for exploring West Cornwall, and was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The communication from our hosts Jane and Macky was excellent, and we were made to feel very welcome. We would love to stay again in the future.

Good cottage for seeing west cornwall

The cottage had everything you need my grandchildren loved it the only negative is the immersion heater wasn't working whilst we were there so no hot water to wash pots and have a wash no dishwasher either

We really enjoyed two weeks in the cottage. As it is a home, that meant that it was practically equipped, unlike so many rentals. Jane was very responsive and helpful before and during the stay. We enjoyed walking to the sea from the house and it is really well located for everything that SW Cornwall has to offer. The local pub is great and Porthleven is just a few minutes away (or a coastal walk). The easy parking and lovely outdoor space at the back was also much appreciated. We would definitely come back!

Lovely cottage with everything we needed for a week long stay. Highly recommended!

More than enough room for a family of 6. Two toilets! (a real bonus). There is a nice decked area, great for morning coffee and evening sundowners. Pretty central to all the beaches (the nearest being a 5 minute drive) and attractions, such as St. Micheal Mount, Penzance and St. Ives. A big THANK YOU to Jane and Macky for sharing their home with us, we would definitely recommend this to anyone who would want a home away from home whilst on holiday. Cornwall, we will be back!
