Bojewyan Holiday Cottage is a C17th Grade II Listed Building on
the rugged West Cornwall coast. It is located in a quiet rural hamlet
between St Ives and Land's End, in one of Cornwall's Areas of Outstanding
Natural Beauty
Our holiday cottage looks westward and often benefits from glorious
sunsets over the sea. From the garden, walk up the lane onto the
moorland of Woon Gumpus Common where National Trust paths will lead
you to Chûn Quoit and the ruins of Chûn Castle, from which, on a
clear day, you can see across to both coasts. In the nearby village
of Pendeen is a former tin mine. Geevor now offers a fine museum
and underground tours. There is an historic working beam engine
nearby at Levant. Pendeen has an excellent corner shop, three pubs
(all within walking distance of Bojewyan), a meadery and a friendly,
family-run restaurant.
Just across the fields and down the cliffs is beautiful Portheras
Cove, a favourite beach for many people because it is peaceful and
secluded. Portheras can be reached either by walking down from the
cottage or driving part-way. There are also pretty 'sandy coves'
near Pendeen Lighthouse. The town of St. Just is ten minutes' drive
away, with shopping, pubs and restaurant facilities, and also a
golf course and health club. Sennen Cove, the famous surfing beach,
is twenty-five minutes' drive and Land's End thirty minutes, as
is St. Ives. Driving into Penzance, the major town in West Cornwall,
takes twenty minutes.
