About this property
Ideally located for touring all of Cornwall and close to the magnificent Lizard Peninsula, this stunning, ground-floor barn conversion rests in the pretty village of Praze-an-Beeble. Renovated to a superb standard while keeping in touch with the original framework of the barn, Nana's Cottage is well-suited for a small family or one or two couples looking for a quality base to explore Cornwall from. The focal point of the property is the stylish, open-plan living area, where you can sink into the large L shaped sofa and catch up on your favourite programmes whilst the woodburner crackles in the background. The kitchen has a contemporary design and is well-equipped with a coffee machine, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and electric oven, along with modern grey units and a bespoke oak breakfast bar that seats four.
Continuing to impress, the chic master bedroom is complete with grey wood panelling and a luxurious en-suite with an elegant tiled shower wall. There is also a zip/link twin room which can be arranged as a king-size upon request, served by a beautiful bathroom with velux window and original beaming. Step out onto the decking and enjoy a drink from the outdoor furniture, surrounded by a lovely glass balustrade. Walk into the village of Praze-an-Beeble to find a pretty selection of shops and eateries, in addition to the much-loved St Aubyn Arms, a ‘steak and ale’ pub and restaurant which serves a fine range of cask ales, and vegan and gluten free options.
You may also stumble across the popular Philps bakery and pasty shop, the local’s choice for what are commonly regarded as the finest pasties in the county. Nana's Cottage is conveniently placed for days-out to the beach, with just a 20-minute drive to the picturesque Hayle Towans and the lively resort of St Ives and the landmark of St Michaels Mount at Marazion within 12.5 mile radius. Why not escape to the Lizard Peninsula and walk along the thick harbour walls at Mullion Cove or take a diving trip and discover dozens of shipwrecks off the notorious Manacles rocks? With plenty to fill your to-do list, and a superb barn conversion to return to, a holiday at Nana's Cottage is sure to be one to remember.
This tranquil village rests in countryside surroundings between Camborne and Helston. The village is home to handful of amenities, including a traditional pub, post office, bakery, fish & chip shop and a garage. Lying between the nearby towns of Camborne, 2 miles, and Helston, 7 miles, it is perfectly placed to visit some beautiful Cornish towns and villages, as well as the breath-taking Lizard Peninsula which offers a number of hidden coves and sandy beaches.

The owners have put a lot of thought into providing a great experience for their guests and the cottage feels really cared for. Itâs located down a quiet country lane and is a great central base from which to explore St Ives, the Minack Theatre, St Michaelâs Mount and beautiful beaches. We would love to come back again soon!

Loved watching the Woodpeckers in the garden. We didn't spot anything that needs to be done. So close to both North and South coasts with loads of history to explore in between. Helston even had a small railway for Paul to have a ride on one afternoon. We left behind a jigsaw of loads of fishes which we managed to do in 5 evenings, so challenge anyone to do it quicker.
