Tucked away in the heart of the Roseland Peninsula, Penda is a charming two-bedroom thatched cottage offering a perfect escape for couples or small families. Sleeping up to four guests, Penda effortlessly combines traditional character with modern comfort.

On the ground floor, the spacious dual aspect living room features exposed stone walls, polished wood floors, low beamed ceilings, and patio doors that open directly onto a peaceful, enclosed garden. It’s the perfect space to unwind after a day exploring. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxed and enjoyable stay, and the adjoining dining area, with its original beams and stone fireplace, adds a cozy, rustic feel.

Upstairs, you’ll find two beautifully presented bedrooms: the master offers views across the surrounding countryside, while the second bedroom has twin beds that can be made into a double, offering flexibility for families or friends travelling together. Step outside and you’ll find a private garden with sun loungers and a bistro table, perfect for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or alfresco dining under the stars.

Penda also welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs (additional charge per dog applies), making it an ideal retreat for pet owners. With dog-friendly beaches like Portscatho and Porthcurnick close by, complete with rock pools and coastal trails, your four-legged companions will be just as happy as you.

The Roseland Peninsula is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and one of Cornwall’s most scenic and serene regions. A short drive takes you to the picturesque fishing village of Portscatho, known for its sheltered sandy beach, local galleries, and a traditional pub. A little further along the coast lies St Mawes, a lively harbour village with excellent dining, boutique shops, and the impressive St Mawes Castle, built by Henry viii. From here, you can catch a passenger ferry to Falmouth, a vibrant town brimming with maritime heritage, shops, galleries, and waterfront eateries. Alternatively, take the scenic King Harry Ferry across the River Fal to visit Trelissick Garden, a stunning National Trust property with woodland walks and panoramic river views. The Roseland is also home to some beautiful and lesser-known gardens, such as Lamorran Gardens in St Mawes and the colourful Poppy Cottage Garden near Ruan High Lanes.

Explore inland to the village of Veryan, famous for its distinctive round houses and welcoming atmosphere. The surrounding countryside offers a network of peaceful walking trails and hidden coves waiting to be discovered. For a taste of Cornish culture, head to Truro, the county’s only city. With its magnificent Gothic cathedral, cobbled streets, independent shops, bustling markets, and wide selection of restaurants and pubs, it’s well worth a day trip.

Whether you’re walking along the coast, exploring historical sites, enjoying garden visits, or simply relaxing in your cottage garden, a stay at Penda offers the perfect base for an unforgettable Cornish holiday.

    I can't deny that this is a beautiful cottage that has been lovingly restored and kitted out. It is a shame that the part of the description doesn't describe the premise accurately. Firstly it is not detached although this didn't make any difference to the enjoyment of the holiday. The second bedroom is quite small and not really suitable for adults other than small children. These comments would not deter me from returning but for a party of 4 adults and oder children you may need to think twice.
