Carn Brea, located in the picturesque region of South West England, offers a delightful traditional miner's cottage that accommodates up to four guests in two beautifully appointed bedrooms. Nestled at the foot of Carn Brea Moor, this cottage boasts stunning views and immediate access to scenic moorland walks, making it an ideal base for exploring both the North and South coasts of Cornwall. The rugged beauty of the North Coast is merely five miles away, while charming coastal towns like Falmouth and St Ives can be reached in under thirty minutes by car. Its central location near the A30 ensures that visitors can easily access various attractions across Cornwall without lengthy travel times.
The cottage itself exudes warmth and character, featuring a bright and welcoming living room with a cozy wood-burning stove, perfect for relaxing evenings.
