We are situated 4 miles from Penzance and 6 miles from St Ives in a great location for exploring West Cornwall...
West Cornwall has so much to offer - golden beaches, spectacular cliffs, picturesque fishing villages, ancient churches, lively seaside resorts, cliff and moorland walks of outstanding beauty - all are within easy reach.

You can relax on the sun-soaked sands of St Ives, Sennen and Porthcurno or, if watersports appeal, then you can surf or bodyboard on the famous surf beaches of Porthmeor at St Ives or Gwenver at Sennen or you can take boating or fishing trips from many of the small harbours.  For wide, open spaces you can sample the long sweeping expanse of Hayle Towans' beaches while for families with very small children the ideal beaches are Marazion on Mount's Bay, Porthminster at St Ives and Carbis Bay.
West Cornwall also offers exciting outdoor activities, art, culture and heritage, the warm welcome of old-fashioned pubs, the delights of Cornish cuisine, and the unbeatable company of the Cornish people.
It is also (according to the tourist brochures at least!) the warmest place in the country..

Places of interest: A small selection in alphabetical order..

Chysauster Iron Age Village: Chysauster was an Iron Age village inhabited from about 100 BC to sometime in the 3rd century AD. It was probably built by members of the Dumnonii tribe of Cornish Britons. The village is composed of eight courtyard houses, laid out in two rows of four. Outside the main grouping of houses is another stone house, and there are the remains of several outlying buildings in the surrounding fields. This is all located within walking distance of Trezelah Park Farm.

Minack Theatre is a world famous open-air theatre located right on the coastline of Porthcurno bay with spectacular views of the Atlantic ocean as its back-drop. Built in the style of a Roman Amphitheatre, Minack was the brainchild of Rowena Cade, who lived in a cottage behind the theatre. Construction of the theatre began in 1929 when Rowena offered the use of her garden to a local amateur dramatic society as the perfect location for their production of "The Tempest". Rowena and her gardener began working hard hauling materials down from the cottage and up the winding paths from the beach below to construct the terraces and seating areas in time for the production.
