Porthcurno cottage sleeps 6

A fabulous Porthcurno cottage that sleeps 6 guests just a stroll from the magical Minack Theatre and the turquoise waters of Porthcurno beach. The South West Coast Path goes all the way to Land’s End, Penzance and beyond, where you can link to the Isles of Scilly if you wish.

Telegraph operation ceased at Porthcurno in 1970, a century after it had started, but there are many reminders of the village’s role in world communications and this terraced cottage is part of what was once the Cable and Wireless training college. Today it offers elegant accommodation for six, with the highest standards of comfort and convenience and a cool coastal vibe throughout. Traditional dining furniture and additional bench-style seating complement the contemporary-country styling of the kitchen in an open-plan space that’s full of natural light.

Double doors lead into a warm and welcoming lounge where a selection of sofas will be the setting for good conversation, activity planning and TV time. A cloakroom completes the ground floor layout. On the first floor, you’ll find a shower room and three peaceful bedrooms – two with a king-size bed, one with twin beds, and all with wardrobes and drawers so you can settle in properly. For additional privacy and convenience, one of the king-size bedrooms also has its own en-suite bathroom.

Two patios, one at the front and one at the back of the building, offer a choice of outdoor seating in sun and shade as the hours pass. If you’d prefer to be more active, why not have a game of tennis? There are shared courts just across the road!
