The Nod

We had a lovely fortnight at the Nod. Bridget made us feel very welcome. The property is modern and very well equipped. The bedroom and bathroom were luxurious and extremely comfortable. The property was warm and benefited from central heating and a wood-burning stove which we needed to light on one evening despite it being July! We loved the location, Lamorna was beautiful and it is a short walk down to the Cove which has a lovely beach cafe. Walking up the hill the Chygurno gardens are spectacular and well worth visiting. We like the fact that the property is rural however Penzance and Newlyn are only 5 miles away and have a great range of shops and eating places. We bought amazing fish at the fishmongers at Newlyn Harbour and enjoyed wine tasting at Polgoon vineyard. We also enjoyed exploring the area , there’s lots to see and do without needing to make big journeys. We visited St Michael’s Mount, The Minack, Porthcurno beach and museum, Cape Cornwall and Sennen Cove. but we mostly spent our time pottering and making our own discoveries! We loved the little café at Pengwarra Cove which had a lovely garden and was close to the sandy beach. There is a fabulous little farm shop at St Buryan. It has excellent fresh meat and veg and a lovely cafe, the pasties and sausage rolls smelt and tasted amazing! The Mackerel Sky, in Newlyn, was a fabulous place to eat as was the cafe at Trewidden gardens. There is also a little Thai takeaway van close to Lamorna that served up tasty Thai food. One of our dogs is an escape artist and also can be overstimulated when there is too much happening. We discovered a lovely secure dog field (Boscarne ) which we took him to every day. It’s near the farm shop at St Buryan and booking on line is easy. ...

Bridget the owner is a lovely welcoming and friendly lady. Always there for help and advice, but not intrusive Off road parking is excellent The bed is massive and very comfortable Huge bath and shower and always ample hot water The cottage is perfect for exploring the south coast Porthcurno is a must visit The coastal walk straight from the cottage to Mousehole is really tough and strenuous but well worth it The Wink pub across the road does an amazing Sunday roast We had a fab two weeks and was very lucky with the weather, if we return to south Cornwall we would not hesitate to book the Nod again ...

The Nod was a lovely, comfortable cottage, everything you needed was there. Everything was of a very high standard and very clean. Bridget the owner, was lovely. We had a lovely welcome from her on our arrival and she was there to say goodbye at the end of our week's holiday, which is something we havent experienced from Classic Cottage owners in recent years. We would definitely love to come and stay again at The Nod, maybe when the weather was a little more kind to us, and we would have no problem recommending this to anybody who was looking to stay in Lamorna Cove....
