A unique location

Located high on the hillside surrounded by farmland and heath, you can try and catch a glimpse of the fabled ‘green flash’ as the sun sets into the sea. Nearest neighbours are cows and rabbits, and sightings of the rare Cornish chough sitting on the roof are not unusual.

It's all about Peace and Quiet

The cottage does not have a TV, a land line or WiFi, but what it does have is an abundance of board games, coupled with peace and quiet, to allow you to reconnect with your friends and family.

A spectacular landscape

You can stroll to Chûn Quoit and on up to Chûn Castle over the charmingly named Woongumpus Common, or walk down to one of Cornwall's furthest-flung beaches at Portheras Cove, where seals are regularly sighted.
