“St Martin’s view is a great cottage with a great view.”

Abi and team who take care of the cottage are wonderful - everything was set up perfectly for our arrival!! The property was clean, the garden was lovely to sit out and watch the sun set over the ocean. Our kids loved the cottage and the nature walks around the cottage.

“Very nice.”

We have just spent a week at St Martins view in Pendeen and had a great time. The property is a dorma bungalow divided into two lots of separate accommodation. Our property was clean and spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Superb views of the sea and old tin mines at Geevor. In Pendeen there are 3 x pubs. We tried them all. I would advise against the Radjel Inn not great and the wine was awful. We ate at both the Trewellard Inn and the North Inn. Food at the Trewellard was very good and we went a couple of times. Unfortunately the Sunday lunch at the North Inn was an Aunt Bessy fest. The pork was fatty and everything else was a microwaved ready meal. The gravy was like water. Back to the accommodation we would highly recommend it as a base for exploring Cornwall. The buses are very good and we explored all over. Only slight gripe is the location. The accommodation is located at the end of the Boscaswell Housing Estate which was ok once you got to your accommodation but not pleasing on the eye when you first arrive.

Mr Banfield February 2020

“The weather did not deter enjoyment.”

The view and comfort from and in accommodation enhanced enjoyment. Everything required to enjoy holiday was within a 5 mile radius. We've holidayed in cottages for years, this was the best but far.

- Mr Banfield, February 2020
Mr Kilmurray February 2020

Even better than the pictures show. Very comfortable home from home. Abbie was lovely and on hand but we didn't need her as everything was perfect.

“Our only worry we're the 4 steps to the garden.”

But our 3 year old managed fine. Great location, view, cottage, garden, scones, chip shop, village store, local pubs. And Abi is lovely and kind, and made our stay even more enjoyable.

Mr Aldred January 2019

“I have stayed in many cottages in the St Just and Pendeen areas over the years and St Martins View is simply the best, this was my first stay here and will certainly not be my last.”

The bungalow is well equipped and very cosy with the wood burner. The view from the lounge across the garden and to the sea is fantastic - even in January I could see the Isles of Scilly when it was clear a couple of days! Abi (owner) contacted me the day before I arrived to check I had all my details to find St Martins View and also checked with me on the Sunday that all was ok - very nice thought. On arrival flowers, milk, butter, scones, jam and clotted cream was very welcoming. If you do not have a car like me - then St Martins View is ideal as the local bus stops at the end of the lane and operates regularly during the day to St Just and Penzance - evening service also except on Sundays. This was ideal for going out for the day, or walking the coast path (which start at the end of the lane) and getting the bus back or going out in the evening for a pub meal. Recommended pubs the North Inn in Pendeen and the Queens Arms in Botallack - both excellent for food and ales!

Miss Carlisle November 2018

“This was our second visit to this Pendeen cottage, although it was 5 years apart.”

The high standards remained the same and we had a really comfortable stay. We enjoyed the cream teas left by Abby. The views of the sea and Geevor chimneys make a unique view. We didn't really see the Scilly Isles due to the seamist. Although, we could see the lights at night. We would like to visit at a different time of year and make more usr of the lovely garden. My Mom left her scarf but Abby posted it back to us at her expense. Not many people would do that. Thank you Abby!

- Miss Carlisle, November 2018
Mrs Ritz October 2018

“Lovely cottage in an excellent location.”

Well thought out, easy to keep clean, good range of household items in kitchen etc. Helpful owners/managers but not intrusive

- Mrs Ritz, October 2018
Mr Kick October 2018

“Great property conveniently situated In this wonderful area of Cornwall, excellent communication from owner, the cottage had all the comforts of home along with a stunning view out to sea, a fantastic secure garden and a very useful decked area which we managed to use on a couple of occasions even in late October.”

- Mr Kick, October 2018
Mrs Craddock September 2018

“Fantastic location with stunning views.”

Cottage exceeded expectations well equipped with a lovely garfen. It felt more like a family home than a rental cottage. Welcome package was greatly appreciated and Abi was available for any queries if required. Would definitely book St Martins View again.

- Mrs Craddock, September 2018
Mrs Leedham August 2018

“Fantastic accomodation.”

Also owners are very caring and want you to enjoy everything .

Mrs Dowling July 2018

“St. Martin's View was just lovely!”

Much thought had been put into every detail and it was a fabulous place to stay. It was truly dog friendly with a very attractive garden. The cleanliness of everything in the property was fantastic and it was a brilliant location on the tin coast. We would highly recommend!

- Mrs Dowling, July 2018
Mr Moorcroft June 2018

“Abi made it a point to contact us just before our Holiday to make sure we had all the information we needed and on the morning after we arrived to ensure we had no issues, this pleased us as it showed that she cared that everything was ok.”

the cottage was clean and well equipped and the welcome pack she had left for us was unexpected but very welcome( and very tasty scones and cream and jam mmmm). the garden was well kept and in our opinion having rented other cottages from other sources was the best we have ever stayed in. the sunsets were brilliant. visited the Cornish seal sanctuary ,Eden project, Lost gardens of Heligan book in advance saves money. finally all I can say is I believe that given time I will return

- Mr Moorcroft, June 2018
Mrs Marshment May 2018

“Generally very happy with the cottage.”

Not really a criticism but it would have been good to have instructions for the heating and water system , there was a problem with the water heater at one point although Abi was very helpful. The flow of the shower in the main bathroom was really slow to the extent that we mostly all used the shower in the en suite .

- Mrs Marshment, May 2018
Mrs Holmes May 2018

“A very comfortable cottage in a spectacular setting.”

Everything that we needed for a perfect holiday - including a fascinating garden which was totally dog friendly and also all the makings for a real Cornish cream tea to welcome us!. We would recommend this holiday cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful break but close to local amenities and many interesting places to visit.As always Sykes cottages has lived up to their description and quality of accommodation.We will hopefully return to St Martins view .

- Mrs Holmes, May 2018
Mr Thompson March 2018

“Could not fault the accommodation.”

Lovely view, comfortable, quiet location. Just the ticket. THANKYOU.

Blackborow February 2018

“A cosy and comfortable cottage; the perfect combination of modern facilities but with plenty of character features too and extremely well kitted out with everything we could possibly need.”

Very private with stunning views from the lounge, dining area, twin bedroom and main bedroom. As well as being beautiful to look at, the garden is completely enclosed so perfect for our dog. Lower Boscaswell is a lovely village in a perfect location. We can't wait to go back to St Martin's View!

Ms Keep February 2018

“We we're disappointed to be charged by Cornish Cottage Holidays a fee of £30.”

00 when we had already paid for 7 nights. We made a courtesy phone call to you to tell you our day of arrival was going to be saturday 24 February instead of Sunday 25 February. We had booked and paid for the cottage for 24 February to 3 March - 7 nights. Your colleague on the phone took a card payment for £30.00 for this change. We were informed by the owner that this hadn't incurred any extra charges from them, it seems that Cornish Cottage Holidays were taking money from us for no reason and we would like a refund of the £30.00.

The property

With captivating uninterrupted sea views across beautiful National Trust countryside, St Martin's View is superbly positioned between dramatic Land's End and sublime St Ives.

Sitting in the seaward facing hamlet of Lower Boscaswell, the cottage nestles down a quiet private lane.

Homely and spacious, this single storey property sits in a generous, enclosed garden with sun terrace and gently sloping lawn, leading to the all encompassing landscape dotted with tin and copper mines and azure sea beyond.

From here enjoy the view to St Martins, the third largest Isles of Scilly.

The living room is comfy with squashy leather sofas, exposed stone walls, a wood burner for toasty toes and a dining area complimented by the Juliet balcony and windows framing the garden and seascape vista.

The modern kitchen is bright and well equipped, with oak flooring.

The bedrooms are smart and comfy, the master has an en-suite shower room and the family bathroom is contemporary.

Adjoined to the owners own annex, St Martin's View makes an ideal holiday base for families and couples with pets.

There is a courtyard to the front and an enclosed rear garden, which makes a great play area and is perfect for sitting and enjoying barbecue magic or sun-downer drinks. Stroll the half mile to the North Inn at Pendeen, a traditional family friendly Cornish pub.

Ramblers will love exploring the South West Coast Path, where Portheras Cove can be discovered, hidden and un-spoilt just over one mile distant.

Stunning Sennen Cove, famed for surfing and bird-watching can be reached within a 20 minute drive and the town of St Just with its pretty market square, is eight miles away.

Visit Marazion with its sandy beach and water-sports action overlooked by the majestic St Michael's Mount with castle atop.

The quayside at St Ives is beautiful with beaches, galleries and gift shops galore in this pretty town, with divine waterfront restaurants, eateries and traditional inns offering fresh Cornish fayre.

About the location

PENZANCE

St Ives 8 miles. Helicopter to Isles of Scilly - 30 minutes

Penzance hosts Golowan, the Midsummer Carnival, and The Literary Festival. There are also The Exchange, Newlyn and Penlee Art Galleries. One of Cornwall’s most popular holiday areas is the spectacular sweep of Mount’s Bay, from the cliffside fishing village of Mousehole through Penzance and around to beautiful Marazion, the coastline hides a wealth of sandy beaches, rocky coves as well as winding village streets and other places to visit and explore. Connected by a causeway to the shore at Marazion is the National Trust’s stunningly beautiful St Michael’s Mount with its hilltop castle and Mediterranean gardens. Walk across at low water and take one of the ferry boats back when the tide is up. Penzance with its winding streets, shops, clubs, restaurants and harbour is a must as it is the jumping-off point for day trips to the Isles of Scilly as well as being the harbor. The South West Coast Path passing through Penzance winds its way along the clifftops towards Land’s End. On the way, stop off for a coffee and a rest at beautiful Lamorna Cove, explore the open air Minack Theatre and marvel at the cliffs as you approach Gwennap Head. A stunning walk for those seeking solitude, exercise and some of the UK’s best coastal scenery. Penzance is the perfect holiday base. Ideally placed for exploring this land of Celtic myth and legend and with enough to do and see in the immediate area to keep all the family occupied.
