Between the cliffs and the moors, Carnyorth hamlet is situated about a mile and a half north of St Just on the St Ives road (B3306), with western views of the Isles of Scilly and the sea a mile away. Carnyorth is a small rural hamlet with its own well and resident geese! Left out of the front door and up the track will bring you through fields onto the moors - a historic footpath - “The Tinners Way”, stone circle, holed stones, iron age castle and quoit, Kenython pool, Carn Kenidjack and great views. Turn right and take the footpath to Botallack and along the North Coast Path, with spectacular cliff top scenery of the coast and remnants of tin mining, the Crowns Mine, rocky coves wonderful for low tide rockpools and walks to Cape Cornwall and Zennor. Portheras is the nearest beach, 2.5 miles away and the town of St Just has all amenities. The surfing beaches of Sennen and Gwenver are a twenty minute drive away. An open-topped double-decker bus taking you along the famous North Coast road to St. Ives stops at Carnyorth. There are four pubs and two restaurants within walking distance.

Nearwell Cottage was built in 1857 of granite with a scantle slate roof, in a terrace of miners’ cottages. It has been refurbished, and is light and airy. Upstairs are three bedrooms (one large double bed, one small double, one single) and a large bath/shower room. The ground floor has a small front sitting room with inglenook fireplace, TV, video, DVD, library; a galley kitchen with solid fuel rayburn, washing machine, microwave, gas cooker, fridge/freezer etc; a dining area and integral conservatory with an oak floor, open hearth (firewood provided), futon sofa bed and easy chairs.

Ten granite steps lead from the conservatory up to the secluded back garden, with seating.

There is parking for two cars.

Beds will be made up with cotton sheets, pillows and pillowcases. Guests are asked to bring their own quilts and towels.

The cottage is best suited for a family of five, but will sleep seven using the sofa bed.

The cottage will be available from 4:00pm on the Saturday of arrival, and must be vacated by 10:00am on the Saturday of departure.

Electricity is charged separately by meter readings on arrival and departure and seems to average about ten pounds per family per week.

Available from 27th May to 30th Sept
