“Great little cottage.”

Great position as is only 20 mins from Lands End and St Ives, only 10 mins from penzance and St Michael's Mount and Mousehole. 2 mins from Geevor tin mine and there's a good cliff top walk from the cottage to Pendeen lighthouse and Potheras beach.

“We had a lovely time at Miners Rest, the cottage is very well equipped.”

We arrived to a very well received welcome pack with milk, biscuits and a cream tea complete with clotted cream. The owner, Abi, had also left a vase of freshly cut flowers. Abi kept in touch with us throughout our stay and we knew she was there if we needed anything. We visited some beautiful beaches nearby and visited some tourist attractions. All in all we had a very relaxing stay and wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again. We highly recommend Miners Rest.

Dr Swygart April 2021

“The kitchen was brilliantly equipped - had absolutely everything you could ever need.”

A cream tea and bottle of Prosecco was in the apartment when we arrived - a lovely gesture. Owners very friendly.

Mrs Chivers October 2020

“One of the nicest cottage holiday experiences we have ever had.”

We felt very welcome by the owners and had constant support via mobile telephone should we feel the need to be in touch. The accommodation was cosy and very comfortable, extremely well equipped and we loved the decor, it was home from home with a better view! That area of Cornwall is beautiful with the most amazing coastline walks and there are good places to eat quite close by. It was a lovely break for us both.

- Mrs Chivers, October 2020
Mr Lee August 2020

“Amazing holiday in a beautiful cottage.”

The coast path is a 5 minute walk away and there is a small beach 25 minutes walk down the path. Really comfortable cottage, and had everything we could wish for. The owners were lovely and made every effort for us during our stay. Couldn't recommend it enough. We will definitely be back. Perfect place for a couple and a dog no matter the weather. Great pubs nearby (North Inn and Queens Arms) and lovely walks.

Mrs Gleadall August 2020

“Just returned from an amazing week at Miners Rest with my dog Buddy.”

What a gem of a cottage. Have never stayed anywhere that has been so well equipped. Loved having the complimentary cream tea sat on the first floor balcony. Lovely owners. Abi so helpful with my queries. Perfect location for walking & attractions. Loved the close proximity of Boat & Portheras coves, lovely secluded beaches.

- Mrs Gleadall, August 2020
Mrs Carter March 2020

“Well situated for dog walks along South West Coast Path with fabulous views of Geevor Tin Mine & Pendeen Lighthouse.”

Comfortable king size bed! Made for a very relaxing break.

- Mrs Carter, March 2020
Ms Bradford February 2020

“Despite the changeable weather, Miner's Rest was warm, cosy and comfortable, as well as being very well equipped and beautifully decorated.”

It is ideally placed on the North coast for accessing the rugged and atmospheric coast path, to wonderful Portherus cove in one direction and spectacular Bottalack the other. We also had a fascinating day at Geevor tin mine, which I would really recommend for a tour; friendly and knowledgeable staff and guides, a walk underground and a great cafe! At the same time, you are near to so many other lovely towns and villages, such as St Ives, Penzance and Marazion. Something to do in all moods and weathers.

- Ms Bradford, February 2020
Mrs Parratt October 2019

“We thought Miners Rest was a lovely cottage, with many finishing touches making our stay very special.”

We love that part of Cornwall, and the owner was most attentive also.

“The flowers, scones, clotted cream, butter, jam, milk, when we arrived The rooms ...”

The flowers, scones, clotted cream, butter, jam, milk, when we arrived The rooms were filled with love and for the first time in a long time I felt chilled and refreshed Cornwall and the home was filled with Magic

Mrs Page September 2019

“Loved the cottage.”

Very cosy, comfortable and well equipped and situated in beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend this to friends.

- Mrs Page, September 2019
Mrs Frost September 2019

“This holiday cottage is a gem for a couple and extremely dog friendly - more so than the information provided by Sykes.”

The owners provided so many special touches with a welcome pack, which due to our 2 weeks stay was repeated on the middle Saturday. It is ideally located for exploring the far south west of Cornwall. Would definitely return here.

- Mrs Frost, September 2019
Mrs Bluck August 2019

“Had a lovely stay in a fab cottage it was a home from home experience.”

Nice welcome extras not what you would expect. Place was spotless and nicely decorated. Great walks if you take a dog but no outside space which may inconvenience some but it didn’t us.

- Mrs Bluck, August 2019
Mrs Clark August 2019

“Lovely homely cottage, very clean and everything there that we needed.”

Abi and Adam made us feel very welcome with very thoughtful treats left for our arrival. Abi contacted us the day before our holiday to check if we needed anything then again on our second day. Beautiful cliff walks on the doorstep. Definitely recommend and would stay here again.

- Mrs Clark, August 2019
Mrs Hartland July 2019

“The cottage is so warm and welcoming and really feels like home from home.”

It's the perfect base for exploring the Tin coast and quieter parts of Cornwall and is ideal for walkers, as minutes from the coastal path. It's also ideal for all the main attractions and the beautiful properties and gardens of the area too. We can't wait to return!

- Mrs Hartland, July 2019
Mrs Waites June 2019

“Absolutely fantastic, dog friendly, holiday cottage, based in a perfect location.”

There are two beautiful beaches which are a short walk from the lighthouse - we would highly recommend and would love to stay again.

What a lovely little holiday let. We were contacted by Abi a day before we arrived to see if there was anything we needed. Upon arrival we were greeted with some lovely goodies, The holiday let was spotless. Very comfy and cosy. Every thing you could want. It was like home from home. One of the best lets we have ever had. We had a slight problem with the wifi but within minutes Abi had sorted it out for us. Would love to return to this little gem

Mr Beresford May 2019

“Abi who looks after the cottage was wonderful.”

Nothing was too much trouble. The Holiday Let was the best we have stayed in, extremely clean, cosy and very quiet. Like home from home. would definitely return. Lovely surroundings and not far from a lot of the attractions. Stunning coastline walks.

Miss Nixon April 2019

“Our holiday to Cornwall was amazing!”

Abi & Adam made us feel so welcome, with milk, chocolates, cookies and scones with jam and cream it was a perfect start to a wonderful holiday. We’re booked up for next year and taking our dog too so he can enjoy the countryside as much as we did, thanks again for making our stay with you so enjoyable x

- Miss Nixon, April 2019
Mr Marley April 2019

“Very good communication with Abi regarding the holiday.”

Lovely cottage in excellent condition very well equipped and many small touches to make it feel like home from home. Without doubt the cleanest holiday cottage we have spent time in. Good range of local facilities and an ideal centre for exploring south, north and west Cornwall. Hope to visit again

- Mr Marley, April 2019
Mrs Ryan April 2019

“Excellent characterful and well equipped cottage.”

It is well located between Penzance and St Ives to explore the area. Strongly recommend.

- Mrs Ryan, April 2019
Mr Shepherd March 2019

“Fantastic location, great bus service if required.”

Local public houses for refreshments. Everything you need to explore these beautiful coastal paths !

- Mr Shepherd, March 2019
Mr Carr March 2019

“The property is extremely well maintained by Andy and Abi with lots of personal touches that make it a real home from home.”

We couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. Only downside is the lack of garden space for our dog to enjoy. The property details when we booked showed a garden looking from a window in the property with a view straight out to sea, however there are no sea views from the property save a small side window, only visible if you lean out some ways. The property is attached to another which on checking it’s website details shows the garden view that Miners Rest originally showed. My husband and I cannot recommend this property too highly if you want a relaxing time with a feel of home from home go to Miners Rest you’ll feel so welcome.

- Mr Carr, March 2019
Mrs Preece March 2019

“A cosy warm and spotlessly clean cottage.”

Everything you need for a self catering holiday is in the cottage. We had an issue with the wifi but Abi sorted this very quickly. The fresh flowers, milk, tea & coffee a nice touch. Parking was good. Directions to the cottage were easy. Keysafe easy. You have a key in the Keysafe and a spare key. The village has a well stocked cost cutter. There are 2 pubs in the village and a great cafe/tapas place called MARIA CHICA. Well worth a visit. They have a cafe also in Penzance. There is a bus to St Just and Penzance at the end of the lane. The south west coastal path is on the doorstep with fantastic views out to the Atlantic. The lighthouse is worth a visit as is the nearby cove. The Geevor Mine is at the end of the lane and well worth a visit. We definitely recommend this cottage and hope to be back. Hopefully storm Gareth and other such names will not be with us.

- Mrs Preece, March 2019
Mrs Holley February 2019

“Lovely clean, cosy cottage.”

Owners couldn’t have been more helpful. Cream tea, biscuits and flowers all added to an enjoyable holiday. We loved the location in this mining area. Easy walk to local shops and dog friendly pub. Good walking from the cottage on the coast path. Would love to return!

- Mrs Holley, February 2019
Mrs Williams December 2018

“An easy to find fantastic cottage which is well maintained, very clean and in an ideal location for exploring the sights of Cornwall.”

Easy access to the North Coast Mines and Coastal Path for excellent walks with breath taking views. We were given a very warm welcome by Abi & Adam who also put a lot of thought into making the cottage a home from home. The nice treats, Chocolates & Cream Tea, were especially welcomed. The Ale & Meals at the North Inn were good in both quality and value. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Pendeen and highly recommend Miners Cottage as an ideal base to explore from. Thanks to our Hosts for a great week.

- Mrs Williams, December 2018
Mr John December 2018

“It was great.”

Mrs Horne October 2018

“Abi, who looks after the Miners Rest, actually telephoned us the evening before departure , to say `hello` and leave her phone number in case of problems !”

What a kind and thoughtful thing to do. The day after we arrived she called in to see if we had any problems then, and we said- it is all wonderful- but would you have an adaptor for our electric toothbrush and shaver ? She immediately went off and found one- what service-and such a warm welcome. The house was beautifully `dressed` with local paintings and pottery and the décor and presentation was the best that we have ever found in decades of holiday renting. A lovely cosy warm cottage and we watched storm `Callum` from our sitting room window , in awe. The huge television was the icing on the cake- our own is tiny , by comparison! We know Cornwall quite well, but this area had us absolutely fascinated with it`s history and ruggedness and friendliness. The Miners Rest is , simply, a gem so thankyou.

- Mrs Horne, October 2018
Mrs Glynn September 2018
