This charming rural retreat, nestled in Redruth, Cornwall, is an ideal getaway for those seeking tranquility and privacy. Accommodating up to four guests, the cottage features one spacious bedroom and is set on an acre of garden surrounded by picturesque farmland. The location atop Carnmarth Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the countryside, making it a perfect spot for relaxation. The cottage, a sympathetically modernized "tinners" cottage built from granite stone in the 1890s, includes a welcoming living room with a wood burner, a modern kitchen, and a shower room, ensuring a comfortable stay.
The interior of the cottage is designed for a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Guests enter through an entrance porch into the living room, where the original fireplace and wood-burning stove create a warm ambiance. The upstairs bedroom, accessible via narrow wooden stairs, is bright and airy, featuring exposed beams and stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Although primarily designed for two people sharing a king-size bed, the accommodation can be expanded to include up to three additional guests on the provided sofabeds, making it a versatile option for families or small groups.
Access to the cottage requires navigating a "no vehicle access" bridleway, which is approximately 250 meters long and may be uneven and bumpy. This remote location enhances the feeling of seclusion while providing guests with exclusive use of the entire home and its expansive gardens. However, it is important to note that the nature of the building and its location may lead to interruptions in WiFi speed and water pressure, which guests should consider when planning their stay.
Beyond the cottage, the surrounding area offers a wealth of activities and attractions for outdoor enthusiasts. Cultural highlights such as Gwennap Pit and the Performance Centre are nearby, along with attractions like Enys Gardens and Raze the Roof Indoor Play & Laser Tag. For those looking for adventure, opportunities for windsurfing, swimming, and exploring hiking and biking trails abound. The retreat's location not only provides a serene escape but also serves as a convenient base for discovering the natural beauty and cultural richness of West Cornwall.
