About this property
Nestled in the centre of the old mining village of St Day, is this traditional mid-terrace cottage. Miner's Rest offers an idyllic getaway for two couples or a family looking to explore the history of Cornwall. Kick off your shoes after an adventure filled day and retire to the sitting room where you can cosy up with your loved ones around the open fire. If you're feeling peckish you can rustle up your favourite meal in the kitchen and gather around the dining table to plan the days ahead. Maintaining the traditions of old mining cottages, the ground floor is complete with a bathroom with a walk-in shower, basin and WC. Venture upstairs for some well-earned rest in one of the three bedrooms that the property boasts where you can wake up to delightful natural lighting drawn in through the characteristic windows in either the king size, a twin which can be super-king-size on request, or single bedroom. Step outside to the courtyard where you can enjoy a spot of alfresco dining on the patio or indulge in a refreshing tipple, perfect for the warmer summer weather. On sunny days, enjoy a day out at the nearby coastal village of Porthtowan, home to one of Cornwall's most popular Blue Flag award winning surfing beaches. Dip your toes in blue waters or take a stroll along the coast and enjoy a pit stop at Blue Bar for a glass of wine with a breathtaking view over the beach. For a taste of history visit the nearby cathedral city of Truro where you can discover the region's heritage at the Royal Cornwall Museum Cornwall or do a spot of shopping at Lemon Street Market, home to the city's best independent retailers, where you can pick up a keepsake to remind you of your time away. Miner's Rest offers the perfect getaway to discover the delights that the picturesque region of Cornwall has to offer.
Nestled in mid-Cornwall is the historic village of St Day, once the centre of Cornish mining history.

Located nearby is the popular coastal village of Portreath, ideal for day trips to the beach or to explore the rugged coastline. Travel a few miles further and you will find the cathedral city of Truro with its cobbled streets, here you can window shop or stop for a bite to eat at one of their many great restaurants. A delightful holiday location for both the adventurer or someone looking for a break away from reality.

A last minute booking to visit family and friends who live close by. Excellent communication with Vanessa. Lots of space in the house, we only used 1 of the three bedrooms. Clean and very comfortable with homely touches. Well equipped kitchen including dishwasher and washing machine. A good shower. A private dedicated car parking space at the back entrance. Very quiet at night. Supermarket a few yards away, very convenient, we used it each day. Chemist, P.O. and 2 pubs as well. Lots of tourist attractions not far away, as well as many beaches to choose from and beautiful country drives. There is the choice of taking the bus from here as well. Everyone around the village and the area were very friendly, a great stay with a comfortable home as a base.

The property is clean with basic stuffs available. You have 1 car parking at the rear courtyard. Pharmacy, londis and post office is under 100 yards of the property. Full equipped tv with netlfix and amazon prime.Some recommendation would be to have an instruction manual to operate the heating, dishwasher and dryer. Additional stock of loo rolls, dishwasher tablets. Also an image or drawing in the property pictures of the location or orientation of the car at the rear parking would be beneficial to the guests parking without creating any trouble to the neighbours who are very friendly and accomodating. All in all an excellent place to relax after your exhausting cornwall visit.

What a find! The property was perfect for five of us, it was clean and we were welcomed with a lovely vase of fresh flowers and cakes, a really nice touch. St Day has a couple of local shops and a chemist and post office and a lovely pub, all run by friendly staff. We would recommend staying here as you are so near Truro, St Ives, Falmouth but you come back to peace away from lots of holiday makers. A couple of miles away is a fantastic beach, Porthtowen with plenty of parking. We loved St Day and would definitely return. The owner was very helpful and easily contactable. Ten out of ten all round.
