Bal-maiden's Cottage
5045 is no longer with usIf you were looking for cottages like Bal-maiden's Cottage, how about trying these:
Situated in a row of pretty Cornish granite cottages, Bal-maiden's Cottage is deep in the heart of far west Cornwall. Looking west over the ocean and just a short walk to the South West Coast Path, it's simply perfect for walkers and nature lovers looking to explore the delights of the Cornish coast. Enjoying a peaceful rural setting in the hamlet of Trewellard, the picturesque small towns of St Just, Penzance and St Ives are only a short drive away - or a scenic bus ride.
Surrounded by rugged countryside and within easy reach of sandy beaches, hidden coves and pretty fishing villages, this is a very cute and comfortable abode. Built many moons ago as a miner's cottage, it now offers cosy accommodation for a couple or small family looking to explore the gorgeous landscapes, miles of coast path and mining history that is quite literally on your doorstep - Geevor Tin Mine Museum, and Levant Mine and Beam Engine, are both easy walking distance from the cottage.
The cottage has been lovingly restored and retains many original features, including a fabulous, exposed granite fireplace which takes pride of place in the cosy sitting-room. Thanks to the wood-burner this lovely cottage is the perfect place for a getaway throughout the year. The main living area includes a small dining-table, and the well-equipped kitchen is down a step at the back of the cottage, with views to the sea.
Upstairs (please note the staircase turns and is a little steep, typical in Cornish cottages), a double and single bedroom await alongside the family bathroom. The double bedroom has a comfy king-size double bed, perfect for a great night's sleep, and the single room has a large single, ideal for either a child or adult. The bathroom is a real feature, with a sumptuous clawfoot bath and fitted shower over.
Outside you can choose to sit in the pretty front garden and dine al fresco, or enjoy the afternoon and evening sunshine in the rear courtyard. Pour an evening aperitif and watch sunset over the ocean! If you are looking for a rural retreat with scenic coastal walks and breathtaking countryside right outside the door, then Bal-maiden's Cottage is the perfect choice.
