Cathy's Say

Among the holiday cottages Cornwall can offer are these recently converted barns close to some fine beaches including Gunwalloe, a fishing cove with a scattering of fishermen's cottages at the eastern tip of Mounts Bay. The characterful village pub, the five hundred year old Halzephron Inn, a former haunt of smugglers enjoys views right across Mount's Bay. The beach is small but charming and ideal for families. A stream runs through the beach - ideal for paddling. An area notorious for shipwrecks, there is reputed to be lost Spanish treasure at nearby Dollar Cove and the beach is often visited by treasure seekers but to date little - other than a few coins - has been discovered.This is one of my Luxury holiday cottages in Cornwall.

Property Description

Wonderfully situated just 3 miles from the little village of Gunwalloe and the unspoilt sandy beach at Church Cove, these recently converted traditional stone barns offer spacious and very comfortable holiday accommodation, perfect for that relaxing break. Set on an attractive courtyard on the owners’ working farm, they are ideally placed for enjoying the numerous beaches and hidden coves that dot the coastline. Glorious cliff-top walks lead to Mullion or further west to Porthleven and Loe bar where Cornwall’s largest freshwater lake attracts abundant bird life, especially wildfowl using it as a winter haven. Walkers can enjoy a 5 mile circuit round the lake and numerous footpaths thread their way through the surrounding National Trust farmland and woodland. The thriving town of Helston’s shops, art galleries, cafes, bars and restaurants are about 3 miles away as are Gweek Seal sanctuary and the award winning Flambards theme park, with its thrilling rides and Victorian Village and Britain in the Blitz exhibitions. Goonhilly Earth Station, the Lizard Point Lighthouse, Kynance Cove and the National Trust’s Godolphin House, St Michael’s Mount and Trengwainton Gardens are all within easy reach. There is a pub with restaurant 2 miles away, and a good selection of shops in Helston, 3 miles.
