| Just a few miles inland of St.Ives
bay where the North and South Coast almost meet is Trencrom
Hill, an Iron Age Hill Fort owned by the National Trust
and surrounded by woods and gorse. Standing on it's granite
outcrops give you some of the best views over West Cornwall
to the North coast with it's long sandy beaches and lighthouse
and the South coast's St. Michael's Mount sitting in the
bay near Penzance. |

| Beside this hill, tucked in an idyllic
sheltered valley is Gorse Cottage. It was built around
1800 for miners and is now a Grade II listed building
which has been carefully renovated to keep it's original
character. Outside there is a little stream that runs
through the garden and a natural spring beside the lane.
The cottage has 3 good sized bedrooms, one with french
doors opening onto a sunny private courtyard. |
| The open plan living room has wooden
floors, open beams and a large inglenook fireplace with
a woodburner. It opens onto a patio and a lawn overlooking
countryside. Our cottage is normally lived in so it is
fully equipped with fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing
machine, bathroom with bath and shower, TV and video. There
is private parking in front of the house. |
| There is no smoking allowed in the cottage
and, due to the abundance of wildlife (pheasants, rabbits
and a woodpecker) in the garden, we do not allow dogs. |

| Although it is tucked away, the cottage
is only a few miles from both coasts and all the local
amenities. There are 3 pubs and a farm shop within 2 miles
and just a 15-20 min drive from either St.Ives of Penzance.
The nearest train links are at St. Erth, 2 miles away. |
| The small fishing town of St.Ives
is just 4 miles away and is a great place to eat, shop,
wander round the art galleries or enjoy the beautiful
harbour and beaches. In the immediate area there is plenty
to do. Gorse Cottage is situated right on the St. Michael's
Way footpath which runs from St. Ives to Penzance and
around the peninsula. There is a huge choice of beaches
all within easy drive where you can windsurf, kitesurf,
surf or just relax. You will also find bird watching on
the estuary, fresh water fishing, horse riding and golf
courses all within a couple miles. |
| Above all, you will find the cottage
a perfect retreat from which to explore the magic of West
Cornwall. |
