Streamside Mill

What a beautiful place! A cleverly designed and built hayloft set in a planned but "wild" garden next to a tinkling stream! At night the water flowing is all you can hear, looking out onto the night sky with the constellations - I slept very well! Nancherrow is at an Ancient Crossroads at the north west tip of West Penwith where people have lived since the beginning of time - holed stones and stone circles, ancient field systems, mine workings and farms, near the old mining village of Tregeseal and its cute pottery shop. Just a short half mile walk up the hill on the Church Path to St Just and it's very interesting church built in 1336 but on the site of an earlier Celtic Christian Church set on I am sure much earlier religious sites - Pagan, Neolithic....The garden was an added bonus and it is so generous of Helen to share it - sunny but with also sheltered spots - forget me nots, white harebells, bluebells, red campion, buttercups, cow parsley, bamboo, ox eye daisies, cherry trees - and two affectionate neighbouring cats who will say hello curling around your legs purring! A very good location for exploring West Penwith - Poldark Country - from Penzance to Mousehole of Mowzer and Stargazy Pie fame, Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre, Land's End, Cape Cornwall , Zennor with the Mermaid Chair in the church and Vera Atkins of SOE's ashes in the churchyard and St Ives. Inland to the moors with the mines and Neolithic sites. A very helpful kindly hostess and local friendly people. A lovely place to return to after a day's travelling especially to sit in the lovely garden, then a log fire in the evenings. I know Cornwall very well, visiting at least annually - and having worked here for some time (Newquay and Helston areas). West Penwith is a part of Cornwall that I love - I used to stay at Bosigran Farm while it was a wonderful working farm - sadly now having lost the tenant farmer and the wonderful belted galloway cattle that used to roam Carn Galver. So I needed somewhere new - Streamside Mill proved to be a very restful holiday. I have already booked for next year! ...

A lovely cottage in a great location.

Small cottage on the outskirts of St Just. Well located for visiting the local tourist attractions, great walking area.

We found the host to be very nice and very friendly. The property was clean, tidy, and very comfortable although slightly smaller than we expected. Lovely location with a small village just at the top of the hill St. Just. which had all the amenities that you needed. Within 10 min drive you could also get to a couple of stunning beaches....
