The dining area offers a rustic wood table and benches.

Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both with hanging and storage space, and tastefully decorated, and a third bedroom with single bed, also offering sophisticated décor. The stairs are a charming period feature, and being original to the house; care should be taken as they are steep and have reduced headroom; the family bathroom is also located on the first floor. To the rear, there is some private outdoor space which is perfect for storing beach equipment or surfboards, until you are ready to hit sea and sand again the next day.

Locally, you are spoilt for choice in this excellent location; there is the National Trust estate of Penrose to visit, Praa Sands, Marazion and St Michaels Mount to the west, and Helford Passage to the East. The north coast is also within easy reach by car, offering more stunning beaches and coastline such as St Ives, Zennor, and Carbis Bay.
