About this property

Rural peace close to 6 Roseland beaches, with log burner and summerhouse

With delightful views over the surrounding countryside, Lamorna Cottage is a perfect place to relax, unwind and enjoy the best of South Cornwall, including numerous great beaches nearby. Part of an attractive stone barn on Tucoyse Farm (no longer a working farm) which dates back to the Doomsday Book. Period character features include stone elevations, wooden framed windows, broad slate sills and exposed beams. A comfortable and freshly-decorated lounge now with a log-burning stove and Smart TV, spacious dining room, newly fitted kitchen with washing machine and dish-washer. And upstairs (newly decorated) the bathroom and two bedrooms (double and twin) with new beds. Plus free WiFi throughout. In addition to our own lawned garden with a new summerhouse (containing some fun beach gear) hidden behind the willow tree there is a further walled garden (shared) with lawn at the front. Also French doors at the back opening onto a graveled courtyard area with benches, perfect for an al fresco breakfast. There's also a stone plinth designed for disposable barbecues. We're just two minutes from Polmassick Vineyard; 1 mile from The Crown at St Ewe, a great traditional pub with good food; and 3 miles to the lovely beach at Caerhays Castle. The very popular Lost Gardens of Heligan are only 3 miles up the road, Mevagissey is 4 miles away as are at least 5 more decent beaches, each with its own character. The Eden Project is a short drive. Waitrose has just opened up on the way into Truro, a cathedral city which has plenty of other decent shops. Tesco and Asda are also within reach. (One guest arranged delivery from Sainsbury's). The coastal walking along the Roseland Heritage Coast between Mevagissey and St Mawes offers some of the most spectacular and unspoilt scenery in the country, including hidden beaches and coves, tiny fishing villages and majestic sea cliffs (now designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

Sehr gute Lage, ruhig, schöne Umgebung
Sehr sauber, schön eingerichtetes Haus, nette Nachbarn. Ideal für Leute die die Ruhe schätzen. Viele Möglichkeiten mit dem Hund draußen etwas zu unternehmen. Tolle Strände in der Nähe. Viele Ausflugsziele gut zu erreichen. Super Küchenausstattung. Freundliche Kommunikation mit Vermieter.

Wir hatten schöne Ferien
Ein schönes, sehr sauberes, recht dunkles Cottage in den Wiesen Cornwalls. Absolut ländlich, ruhig! Einspurige Straßen in der ganzen Gegend!!! Leider fehlte jegliche Einweisung in das Haus (z.B. Heizung), so dass wir viele Fragen per Mail mit dem Besitzer klären mussten. Herrliche Lage zur Erkundung der schönen Landschaft und Küste Cornwalls. Gutes Pub in St. Ewe!

Nicht ganz das, was wir erwartet hatten.
Es war schön, dass wir gleich Tee, Kaffee und Kekse zur Verfügung hatten. Vielen Dank dafür. Es gab ausreichend Toilettenpapier und Küchenrollen und die Betten wurden innerhalb von 14 Tagen noch einmal frisch bezogen und die Handtücher ausgetauscht. Vom Außenbereich waren wir enttäuscht. Die Sitzgruppe vor dem Haus war sehr klein und die Straße, die wohl normalerweise nicht viel befahren ist, geht direkt vorbei. Wir wurden beim Essen und draußen sitzen eingestaubt. 3 Tage am Stück kamen von morgens um 7.00 bis abends um 10.00 Uhr große Landmaschinen mit Jauche vorbei. Das ganze Haus hat gestunken, es war kaum zum Aushalten. Da kann der Vermieter natürlich nichts dafür, aber für uns war es sehr schlimm. Wir waren etwas enttäuscht, dass es von dort keinen einzigen Wanderweg gibt und das Laufen auf den Straßen kann ich nicht empfehlen. Man muss also immer mit dem Auto los. Die Wegbeschreibung durch den Vermieter war super. Generell ist es eine ruhige Lage.

About the host

Hosted by Simon Strutt

Host profile image
We bought Lamorna in 2016, and look forward to spending large parts of the year in this lovely spot. We live near Oxford, but have spent many family holidays in and around Cornwall. Walking the South West Coastal Path over the past few years, this stretch from Charlestown to St Mawes along the Roseland Coast stood out for its lovely beaches, spectacular cliffs and great villages. And the unspoilt rural lanes just inland make this the perfect location. We're planning to explore further over the next few years.

Why they chose this property

We love being close to so much interesting coastline, combined with a peaceful rural base.
