    “While we loved the location ,and the cottage had everything you could wish for except that as it was quite away form shops etc and we had to stay in a few days because the weather was so wet and windy and ran out of logs for the fire ,this made it a nightmare to go out in the bad weather as what you described as a bumpy track was actually was full of huge pot holes and it was quite a long track ,you could not see how deep they were ,1) because of the heavy rain and 2) because of the mess the farmers threw up as they passed by .”

    We were concerned every time we went out ,our car was rocking back and for despite going very slowly .Something should be done about this as it became impassable unless you have a huge SUV or land rover .Our friend could not visit us as they have a Mini Clubman and took one look at the lane and did not go any further which we were not happy about .The cottage is in a lovely location ,but we were worried every time we went out .We left a day early as we were worried about the weather reports we ...

    We were concerned every time we went out ,our car was rocking back and for despite going very slowly .Something should be done about this as it became impassable unless you have a huge SUV or land rover .Our friend could not visit us as they have a Mini Clubman and took one look at the lane and did not go any further which we were not happy about .The cottage is in a lovely location ,but we were worried every time we went out .We left a day early as we were worried about the weather reports we saw in Devon ,where we live .I did let Bex know the hub manager for the ST Aubyn estate ,which she said she would feed back .I would say that the description of the track is not quite accurate and needs to be made clearer so people can see if they have a vechicle which will manage the horrendous bumps and pot holes . There was no mention in the visiters book about it ,we can only guess that their vehicles were as the above. Wendy Phillips

The property

Surrounded by endless fields and hedgerows, this two-bedroom cottage is tucked away in its own little world, and offers stunning views over the Nanjizal Cove. Sun-kissed window seats, bold pops of colour, and cosy bedrooms to retreat to - you'll find all this and more inside this secluded cottage.

Just minutes away from the South West Coastal Path, this beautiful bolthole boasts breathtaking views over Nanjizal Cove from its private garden and is a short walk from the shore's rockpools and the Song of the Sea, a natural arch in the granite cliffs.

Inside, you'll find two sea-view bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room, and a living room with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove.

St Aubyn Estates Cottages

This property is part of the St Aubyn Estates Cottages Collection. Each cottage is relaxed, comfortable, and has breathtaking views. Perched high above the sea or nestled in an untouched cove, you’ll find them dotted along the unspoilt and stunning coastline of far west Cornwall. We are based down in Porthgwarra Cove, running the picturesque little Café, and always on hand to offer activities, assistance, or just friendly local advice.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

PORTHGWARRA

Sennen 3 miles; Land's End 4.1 miles; Penzance 12 miles.

The parish of St Levan derives its name from the 4th Century saint who settled here. The ancient ruins of his Chapel can still be seen today above Church Cove, one of three beautiful and secluded beaches on this wild, unspoilt, and staggeringly beautiful peninsular, the most South Westerly point in the UK. Porthgwarra, the next beach along, sparkles at the end of a valley. You’ll find tunnels hewn into the cliffs, and the Porthgwarra Cove Café, along with the Guest Hub. It is the place to go for breakfast, lunch, ice cream, cakes, cream teas, pasties, helpful advice, and arranging holiday fun. Seals are endlessly dropping by. Continue over the clifftops and you arrive at Nanjizal, accessible only by foot and without a road in sight. At one end stands the stunning Zawn Pyg (‘Song of the Sea’) a natural rock arch that has captivated people for centuries. If the fancy took you to go on, then Sennen is around the corner. As well as being nestled in secluded coastal locations, our cottages are just a stone’s throw from some of Cornwall’s best-loved sights. Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre are within walking distance. St Michael’s Mount, St Ives, and many of the area’s best beaches are just a short drive away.
