Description

Penzance 2.3 miles, 6 minutes drive. Perched on the outskirts of the quaint village of Ludgvan in Cornwall, is this charming cottage set in a former school, previously the headmaster’s office dating 1860, the boutique style space is beautifully furnished and sleeps 2 guests. The cottage is perched above the lower village and enjoys breathtaking views of St Michael’s mount and the sweeping fields of Ludgvan and crowlas. The private garden is a delight and offers a view to the sloping fields of the upper village and the historic church of Ludgvan. For a truly relaxing experience you're able to request private use of the wood fired barrel sauna or cold plunge at the property. Cross the road and just across from the cottage is the famous village bench, offering sweeping and unobstructed views of St Michaels mount all year around, perched majestically on a small island off of Marazion beach, merely a 5 mins drive away.

Two off-road parking spaces greet you upon your arrival, along with a large shared communal garden and the ancient stone wall that borders the property.

There are ample outdoor seatings perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or watching the moon in the evenings, tucked in a warm blanket.

Be charmed by the welcoming and tasteful open-living space, and expect to be greeted with a hamper of fresh produce, you will have everything you need in the cottage: a well equipped kitchen, a bath and shower, plenty of space to hang and fold your clothes, a reading nook, a comfy sofa and TV to unwind after a day of exploring.

There is quite a large utility room for anything you need to store while holidaying in Cornwall: hiking bots and bags, surfboards, bikes, luggage, wetsuits, etc.

The double bedroom is an airy and bright room, delightfully decorated and enjoying beautiful sea views, mornings at the cottage are a true delight, open the stable single door of the cottage to be greeted with the magical view of the lower village and a huge private space to play with your dog.

If you can tear yourself away from this delightful dwelling, the owner kindly offers a kennel service so you can leave your four-legged friend to rest while you venture out for a date night. The cottage is ideally situated 5.5 miles from st ives, 2.3 miles from Penzance, within 6 minutes are the sandy beaches of Marazion and within 20 minutes you're in Sennen cove and lands end.

Walk out of the cottage to stunning forest and coastal paths walks, and a 5 minute walk up to the lovely White Hart pub where you can enjoy a well-deserved drink and a tasty meal on those nights where you don’t feel like cooking.

Within minutes, you can drive to St Michaels Mount Boat, and take a ferry service which offers trips to the island to explore the impressive medieval castle, vibrant gardens and a 15th century church.

Tremenhere sculpture gardens are a short drive from the cottage, as well as Penzance and st ives where you can visit historical landmarks and enjoy a romantic stroll along the Promenade, before heading to the harbour where you can treat yourself to a bite to eat at the great selection of eateries. The cottage is the perfect home away from home for enjoying quality time and explore a truly magical part of Cornwall.

Upon first reaction the cottage appeared to be ok.

Then we started to notice how it needed such a lot of attention. Plaster on the walls needed attention. Cooker top needed a clean. Windows cracked, frames rotten and bodged up. Damp wall in bedroom, near the window. As we were only staying three nights we decided not to make a fuss about this until we stripped the bed on the last morning. The mattress cover was stained and grubby looking. The mattress was deplorable. Stained badly all over. On arriving home we called the owner to inform her of our findings. She blamed everything on the fact that this was how stone cottages in Cornwall were. The weather and the fact that every stone cottage had “must” which made bedding stained. The owner stated that she had informed Sykes of all of these things and that Sykes should have informed us. When speaking with her she said I was disrespectful and rude and she finished the conversation by saying she would phone me back in 30 minutes because herself. We have not had a call back. Reflecting on all this we are in doubt as to whether we would ever hire another holiday cottage from you. I await your reply on this. Thank you

Although the property was pleasant and clean, it is in great need of maintenance - issues with damp, rotting window frames, crumbling plaster, stained curtains.

The bathroom light was flashing ,wardrobe catch broken. No instructions left for the property at all, including for waste disposal or recycling.

This is the second time we have stayed at this property, the location is stunning and the accommodation is electic and has a lovely warm feeling to it.

Perfect get away for a couple, we enjoyed lovely walks, a visit to the local pub 3 minutes up the hill is a must, but would recommend booking for food. Just one little thing, the hot tap in the bathroom sink gets extremely hot very quickly, maybe a little sticker with a caution. Everything else was lovely, we had a relaxing holiday and great nights sleep in the very comfy bed. 5 stars for this property, we will be back.
