The Merry Maiden, a detached, reversed level barn conversion is, as the name suggests, close to the Merry Maidens – a ring of 19 stones, each supposedly a maiden turned to stone for dancing on the Sabbath. With views towards the stones from the spacious first floor balcony, and use of the Owner’s on site private fishing lakes – where an otter or kingfisher may be glimpsed – what more could you wish for? Steep granite steps lead up from the enclosed garden to the first floor entrance and the open plan living-room. From here stairs descend to the two pleasant bedrooms, one double and a twin. The bright bathroom is also on the ground floor. Your only neighbours in this idyllic setting are Chy-Byghan (1854) and one other cottage. The grounds are extensive, walks aplenty, and peace and quiet abundant. A short drive leads to unique Porthcurno beach and Sennen Cove, and the Lamorna Valley is a mere amble across the fields. Perhaps you could solve the mystery of the maidens!
