0ur elegant Georgian style farmhouse was built around 1850 and combines comfort, space and luxury with a friendly stress free atmosphere making it the perfect place for you to relax and unwind.
A ten minute walk
will take you into the wooded Lamorna Valley famous for its colony of artists at
the turn of the last century. This has recently been documented in the film
“Summer in February”. Many of the paintings from this era are housed in the
Penlee Gallery in Penzance which is well worth a visit. Many of the Poldark
locations are also close by.
If you feel more
energetic there is a network of public footpaths radiating from the farm linking
Mousehole to the east and
Porthcurno and Land's End to the west along the South West Way.
Seals, basking sharks & dolphins are often seen from the cliff paths also
Cornish Choughs have been reintroduced locally so be vigilant!
Our local pub The
Lamorna Wink is just down the lane and serves food everyday and evening in the
summer months and from Wednesday to Sunday during off peak times. It’s a roast
lunch only on a Sunday. Booking is advisable (01736 731566)
There are many
other places to eat locally especially Mousehole and Treen but they involve a
short car journey.
Lamorna Cove and the
surrounding coastline are very popular with
divers and there are many
interesting dives. The cove provides facilities for launching small craft or
boat hire. It has a lovely café with seating inside & out. The café is open in
the evening in the height of the summer season. There is also small gift shop
and off license. It is also ideal
for sea fishing. Car park passes are available from us on request.

place for sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing while around the coast at Sennen
surfing is the chosen sport. Tuition and equipment hire are available.

throughout the summer season and “one off” events earlier and later in the year.

probably the most famous. Accessed by the causeway at low tide and by boat at

Engine & The Crowns at Bottalack are all situated on the North coast between St

circle is in a neighbouring field and we have our very own 'Tregurnow Cross' in
our driveway. These are just a couple of the many ancient sites to be found in
West Penwith.
