Chapel Cottages are a group of four listed cottages in a conservation
area on the edge of St. Tudy village. Built around 1820, these stone
cottages were originally lived in by village craftsmen, and have
now been charmingly restored. A wealth of features such as exposed
beams, polished slate floors and small paned windows add to their
charm and Cornish character. |
| The
sitting room has a comfortable cottage suite, coffee table, and
cottage style dining furniture, wall lights, prints and a colour
television. The floor is in original polished slates with loose
rugs. There is a window seat in the sitting room and main bedroom.
Three of the cottages have large open granite fireplaces with cloam
ovens. The fourth cottage has an attractive small fireplace built
over the original one. |
|
| The
pine fitted kitchen is pleasant and convenient to use but fully
in character with the cottages. There is a full size cooker, microwave,
refrigerator, washing machine, automatic kettle, toaster, ironing
board and iron. There is also a plentiful supply of cooking and
serving utensils, wine and spirit glasses, matching dinner and tea
service, together with stainless steel cutlery. |

voltage shaver point. The airing cupboard has a thermostatically
controlled immersion heater for supplying hot water to the bathroom

St.
Tudy
St.
Tudy is an attractive village between the moor and the sea,
and well situated for walking, day touring and visits to the
beaches. On remote Bodmin Moor and surrounding it are many charming
villages and hamlets such as Altarnun, Advent, Blisland and
Wenfordbridge. At Bolventor is the well-known hostelry Jamaica
Inn.

The village has a shop and post office and the 300 year old
'Cornish Arms' is a freehouse which also provides meals and
a range of bar snacks. The oldest building in St. Tudy, locally
known as 'The Clink' dates back to the 1300s and was restored
and opened to the public in 1986. St. Tudy is also the village
where 'Captain Bligh of the Bounty' grew up, being born at nearby
Tinten Manor.

The North Cornwall coast is not far away. It is renowned for
its impressive cliffs and short steep valleys leading to sandy
coves and bays. There are excellent large sandy beaches at Trebarwith,
Polzeath and Daymer Bay and a particularly splendid beach at
Tregardock, some three miles south of Tintagel. The coastal
footpath is protected by the National Trust over long stretches
at Port Isaac, Polzeath, Trebetherick and Tintagel. There are
numerous other attractive coastal hamlets and villages you may
wish to explore such as Port Quin, Port Gaverne, Padstow and
Boscastle.

Visits can be made to Pencarrow, a large Georgian house still
privately owned, or Lanhydrock House, a 17th century manor house
owned by the National Trust. You may also wish to visit Tintagel
Castle, romantically associated with King Arthur and the Knights
of the Round Table.

Cornwall's rich heritage includes remains from the Neolithic,
Bronze and Iron Ages, early Christian Monuments, and remains
of the once great tin and copper mines.
The
Eden Project is within easy distance. The nearby Camel Trail
has replaced the old railway line as far as Padstow and provides
a quiet and scenic route for walking and cycling.
