Ancient
Shipbrokers is a fine old Victorian house built
in 1841. It overlooks Pentewan Harbour and is
only 250m from the long sandy beach, which stretches
almost a kilometre in length. Facing due south,
we get the sun all day long and offer a private
garden for guests, shown below, which is sheltered
from sea breezes by mature shrubs. We are very
happy for you to sit in the garden with books,
newspapers and a bottle of wine purchased elsewhere.
We are not licensed! The house is decorated in
Victorian style, with bold colours, and is furnished
with antique furniture, giving a comfortable and
relaxing welcome.

Just two rooms are available, the Pink room, double
en-suite with antique brass bed, solid wood chest
of drawers and antique wardrobe. Ample storage
space is provided under the bed, which stands
1m off the carpet. The Blue room can be arranged
either as a twin room with two 3ft beds or as
a Queen bed. Ample storage is provided in solid
wood furniture, with attractive traditional antique
mirrors. Both rooms have fully tiled en -suite
shower rooms with WC, washbasin and a 10.5 kw
shower unit, which supplies lots of hot water
at jet power! Kettles are provided for making
tea; coffee, hot chocolate and fruit teas .You
may use the fridge in the kitchen for storing
cold drinks and bottles. A clock radio with CD
player is provided in each room, together with
a hand hairdryer and colour TV with VCR. We
have a selection of popular family videos which
you may use free of charge if the clouds come
over!
Each bedroom has two full-sized windows from which
to take in the breath-taking views out to sea.
On still nights you can hear the waves breaking
on the beach. We have free parking within the
village car park, which is only 20m from the house.
Assistance with suitcases can be arranged as we
are in an elevated position. Please ask. We are
very willing to help with any special dietary
or other needs e.g. assistance with luggage, booking
taxis or tickets, refrigerating medicines or food
and drinks for packed lunches and picnics.
Ideally positioned only two miles from The
Lost Gardens of Heligan and eight miles from
the Eden Project, Pentewan is an historic
village. For 50 years our house was the home
of the Shipbroker who traded the cargoes of
the Tall Ships, which tied -up along the harbour
walls. The inlet is now freshwater and home
to a family of swans, a multitude of ducks,
and other wildlife.
The Ship Inn in Pentewan provides a good range
of pub grub and a well-attended quiz on a
Saturday night. We have a Post Office, and
shop at the Mill Garage. An excellent restaurant
named the Old School House specialises in
local fish, locally farmed meat and vegetables,
and should not be missed. Within 3 miles,
the Polgooth Inn and the Kingswood Restaurant
are also good eating-places .A friendly Tea
Room is located in the Village Square.
Public transport is available from Pentewan
Bus Shelter on a route, which travels between
Mevagissey and Fowey, taking in Heligan Gardens
and a connection to St Austell Railway station
where connections are available to Eden and
the rest of Cornwall!
We
have one private parking space and free parking
within the village car park, which is only
20m from the house. Assistance with suitcases
can be arranged .Lone female travellers may
use the private parking space as may disabled
guests .Please ask. We are very willing to
help with any special dietary or other needs
eg refrigerated medicines.
