    “The bathroom has recently been refitted and is good, save that the shower screen leaks and the bathroom door doesn't hold closed.”

    Neither does the bedroom door for that matter. However the kitchen is pretty much on its last legs and needs the same treatment that the bathroom had. It is seriously on need of replacement and is worn/tired. More than 4 mugs would have been appreciated. Overall the cottage needs a thorough re-paint and freshen up. Clearly someone has had a crack at the glosswork but sadly the shade of paint used was darker than the original and it is obvious where it has been "touched up". These ...

    Neither does the bedroom door for that matter. However the kitchen is pretty much on its last legs and needs the same treatment that the bathroom had. It is seriously on need of replacement and is worn/tired. More than 4 mugs would have been appreciated. Overall the cottage needs a thorough re-paint and freshen up. Clearly someone has had a crack at the glosswork but sadly the shade of paint used was darker than the original and it is obvious where it has been "touched up". These issues aside, the cottage is in a lovely remote spot. We'll come back to the area but not to the cottage (at least until the issues above have been addressed).

The property

Tucked away in the heart of Porthgwarra Cove, Corner Cottage is a beautifully romantic retreat for couples looking to escape to the coast. Set back a short distance from the shoreline, this cottage offers views of Porthgwarra Cove from a snug window seat tucked away in its open-plan living area.

With a double bedroom and ensuite bathroom, ground-floor utility room, and seating area outside, you'll have everything you could need to enjoy a picturesque escape. Perfect for adventurers, the South West Coastal Path runs through the cove and offers an ideal rambling route for anyone hoping to see more of this dramatic coastline.

Birdwatchers will also be able to spot rare seabirds and the occasional chough at Gwenapp Head, which is just a stone's throw away.

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.
