It’s a great spot for exploring the delights of West Cornwall, including the picturesque valley at Lamorna Cove, the quaint harbour and village of Mousehole, plus the fishing harbour at Newlyn.
The bustling town of Penzance and the historic town of Marazion, home of St Michaels Mount which rises from the sea like a fairytale castle, can be reached on foot by causeway at low tide and small ferry at high tide. The area is a popular walking destination with extensive scenic coastal pathways. The marshes at Marazion and Hayle Estuary attract wildlife and bird watchers from around the world. Locally, you can find cycle trails, sub-tropical gardens, tea rooms and art galleries, including the Tate and Barbara Hepworth Museum at St Ives.
Take the scenic coastal train from St Erth to St Ives or take a day trip to the beautiful Isles of Scilly from nearby Lands End airport or the Scillonian Ferry from Penzance. Return to The Bunker and relax on the patio with an aperitif before heading off to take in an evening performance at the Minack Theatre.

Quirky, quality conversion, spotlessly clean and a superb bedroom and en-suite layouts for the parents, grandparents and children. Large fenced garden and games room a big bonus. Ideal to relax all week or go exploring as you wish

We had a wonderful holiday at the bunker, the owner was on hand if we needed anything. Everything we needed was provided from had soap, washing liquid, kitchen roll, dishwasher tablets and for the dogs there was trays, bowls and even towels. The owner left us a welcome hamper with fresh bread butter milk and wine etc the dogs again were not forgotten as they had their own bag of treats provided. The bunker is decorated to a high standard, the garden is so well maintained with ample places to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. To sum up our holiday in the bunker in one word PERFECT.
