Although the beautiful landscape of Trowan and the surrounding area shows no evidence of tin mining activity this superb cottage is named after the tin mine which dominated the local area back in the mid 1800’s.

The effort to exploit tin proved highly profitable but short lived and saw the temporary transformation of the farm into a bustling industrial community – the legacy of which now lies hidden deep underneath the green fields and pastures within which Consols Rest nestles.

The cottage has recently been converted from a former agricultural building which had itself enjoyed a previous life as one of a row of tin miner’s cottages hence the name.

Today the solid granite walls reflect the sunlight from early in the morning through to late evening when spectacular sunsets can be enjoyed from the private garden which lies to the west elevation of the cottage.

Both sets of french doors on the first floor open onto their own small balcony to fully reveal the sweeping views of the rolling moorland toward Rosewall Hill and across the adjacent pasture land to the sea beyond.

Inside, the cottage is beautifully converted to reflect the very high standards that are the hall mark of award winning developers Mango Homes who carried out the conversion work in 2006.

Natural slate floors to the ground floor with timber boards and natural stone upstairs contrast beautifully with exposed granite and soft painted plasterwork.

Furnishings and fittings throughout are very high quality, the large open plan living area boasts widescreen LCD TV, Freeview, DVD, Bose soundsystem and wireless internet connection.
The kitchen is hand made with granite surfaces and offers every kind of facility that the modern family require, from the essential corkscrew and bottle opener which are stored alongside a 24 bottle wine chiller, through to peelers and juicers.

A separate utility area provides full washing/drying facilities and storage space for any outdoor gear, it also includes a downstairs wc.

The two bedroom cottage sleeps 4, the master bedroom has a 5ft double bed, its en suite features an impressive vaulted ceiling beneath which lies a walk in Grohe drench shower. The second bedroom features twin 3ft beds and has the use of the main bathroom, where the freestanding rolltop bath perches beneath the exposed granite walls. A second large corner shower and a third WC allows Consols Rest to accommodate both families and couples.

Finishes throughout are both contemporary and warm providing the perfect setting for a relaxing holiday whatever the season. Set at the heart of the former manorial community of Trowan, Consols lies adjacent to the original manor house of this once bustling community.

Today the site comprises a dozen unique cottages that can be found deep in rural countryside yet within just two or three minutes drive or twenty minutes walk across green fields from the centre of St Ives.

The property is available from 3pm on day of arrival and must be vacated by 10am on day of departure.

Small parties and short breaks by arrangement out of season.
