“Had a lovely stay at trevowhan house in December.”

It’s like stepping back in time, but with a more modern kitchen. Unfortunately our first night we were battered with high winds and rain and you can hear everything. We woke in the morning to quite a large puddle in the dining room, but it didn’t happen again despite it raining pretty much constantly while we were there. There are plenty of places to walk with our dog straight from the cottage. We would come back and stay in a flash!

This cottage was beautiful there was everything you would need and more I would normally bring things like washing up liquid and other kitchen things but they were all there, everything was there we have two westies and they loved the log fires we would definitely go back to this cottage it was fantastic

“The cottage and location was absolutely amazing.”

Lovely space and gorgeous artwork. My only criticism was that the wifi was less than sufficient (which is so often the case in the more remote cottages) which I would be fine with but it was difficult as I freelance so couldn't do any work. Amazing sunset view from the bedrooms too and loved that each room had a sea view. Would visit again in a flash. Also fab that the open top bus to st Ives stops just down the road! Recommend Gurnards Head too. One of my favourite pubs in Cornwall.

“Perfect cottage in the perfect location”
Mrs Dickinson May 2018

“We love this cottage, and returned after a holiday there last October.”

It's peaceful, tranquil, in a beautiful setting - think waking up to a sea view in the morning, in an amazing setting of moors and cliff top walks, and yet it is easy to access beaches and historical sites. It's a great base to explore all of West Penwith, from St Ives to Penzance to Sennen.The cottage itself is like stepping back in time, but with a modern kitchen. If you like Poldark, think Nampara with granite work tops! I loved the atmosphere. Everything went well on this holiday, from helpful owners to great places to eat, to gorgeous beaches and historic sites. We'll be back - it felt like home.(Did I mention my husband's family lived there in 1851?)

“The only negative on comfort was the mattresses, which were rather uncomfortable.”

Apart from that we can’t fault this cottage, which was beautifully presented, cozy and clean. We were made very welcome, with fires in both rooms already made up, a welcome pack and plenty of logs and kindling to start us off. Tamsin and Matt were really friendly and helpful with directions for the area. The cottage was perfectly situated, with sea views and plenty to do in every direction. Mousehole, Marazion and St Michael’s Mount, St Ives and Lands End were all with half an hour of the cottage, with the local tin mines and lighthouse nearby to add even more colour. We would definitely come again.

“The lady I contacted for the keys was very friendly and helpful.”

Really lovely spot. Some fast local drivers so be aware if you planned on walking back from one of the pubs. Would have liked some local walk books or information books on the area in the house but thats being really picky.

“Amazing location, lovely old cottage with tasteful modern décor.”

Kitchen well stocked with utensils etc. Good-sized dining table. Spacious sitting room. Nice bathroom.
Mr Pinkett March 2017

“Lovely place & my only gripe albeit small, would be that perhaps a few more logs could have been supplied as this time of the year it was rather cold.”

However, we loved it & would highly recommend it to others .

The property

Morvah 0.5 miles.

A delightful Grade II listed, semi-detached cottage in the hamlet of Trevowhan, near Morvah, nine miles from St Ives.

Superbly located for touring, this characterful property is perfect for a family or group of friends in need of a break away in one of the most dramatic and picturesque areas of Cornwall.

As you drive towards this special property along one of the UK’s most scenic roads, you can feel the stresses and pressures of modern life fall away as you drink in the breathtaking views of the rugged Atlantic coast and the beautiful west Cornwall moors.

Upon arrival at Trevowhan House, it is immediately apparent that the unique character of the surrounding area is reflected throughout this special property.

As soon as you walk into the hallway, complete with an old slate floor, the cottage’s welcoming atmosphere greets you and it is easy to feel right at home.

This warming sense of wellbeing keeps on growing as you discover not one, but two sitting rooms, one of which includes a dining area, both of which are completed by woodburning stoves, ideal for relaxing in front of during the chillier months.

Last, but most certainly not least on the ground floor is the well-equipped kitchen, excellently furnished in a contemporary style, complete with a splendid range oven, ideal for the family chef to appreciate.

Head upstairs and you’ll find three tastefully furnished bedrooms, all with tranquil coastal views and a stylish family bathroom.

Outside, you can make the most of the sunshine at any time of the day as there’s an enclosed lawned garden to the front and a lovely courtyard to the rear, both of which are equally perfect for sipping a morning cup of coffee or enjoying a glass of something cool with loved ones after a day exploring the Cornish coast.

Once tempted away from this charming property, excellent walks can be enjoyed right from your doorstep; within a couple of minutes you will find yourself on the coastal path and a most enjoyable stroll to the local beach is a must.

Alternatively, jump in the car for a short drive to Sennen Cove, with a wonderful sandy beach and perfect conditions for surfing, or if you don’t fancy driving, why not take the open top bus which stops close to the house and visit the unmissable seaside town of St Ives?

A wonderful cottage in a stunning location, Trevowhan House can be enjoyed all year round by family and friends alike.

About the location

MORVAH

St Just 4 miles; St Ives 9 miles; Penzance 9 miles.

Perched on the Penwith Peninsula, an area steeped in history, the picturesque village of Morvah has a pretty parish church with a tower dating back to the 14th century. Situated within the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the village hosts a pasty festival each year on the first Tuesday in August. Nestled amongst unspoilt farm and moorland and perched above dramatic granite ciffs, Morvah boasts a secret wild beach within walking distance and the award-winning Gurnards Head public house is a short drive. Nearby St Just is an interesting town boasting a selection of galleries, farm shops and cafes, and the road to Cape Cornwall winds a short distance from here to dramatic cliffs and sea views. One of Cornwall's prettiest harbour towns, St Ives is also not far away and offers narrow streets, tight packed cottages nestling around the quayside, the Tate Gallery and Barbara Hepworth museum, fabulous beaches, superb shops, a thriving community of artists, great pubs and restaurants and much more. Penzance is also worth a visit for a dip in the renovated Art Deco lido, a walk around historical Chapel Street or pop into Newlyn to stock up on fresh fish and seafood.
