Much better than advertised!
Hard to adequately describe this unique property. Can't say enough positive things about it - very charming in every way. Secluded, ocean a few minutes walk away. Home is very well equipped with everything you'll need. And the AGA stove is such a welcome source of warmth after a cool walk along the Southwest Coastal path. Hard to leave this perfect setting each day to explore Cornwall.. we will be returning.

Sea view heaven
Great cottage with views from the bedroom window! We had a lovely time staying at Penny Farthing Cottage, and having stayed for many years in the area, it was good to find such a nice cottage feeling like we were on the edge of Cornwall. It was in a perfect place for us, being able to get out on walks direct from the cottage across to Portheras beach, where we saw 4 seals! Went for a drink & meal at the North Inn, which coincided with a folk music band. Helen was great in communicating with us & couldn't do more to help when there was a problem wit the water heating. Definitely recommend and hope to stay again in the future.

The photos do not do justice to this cottage So relaxing stunning views a wonderful place to rest and recharge - no large TVs a bonus for me Lovely local pubs friendly and good food A good location to visit this part of Cornwall and not far from most places We visited Marazion, Porthcurno, Perrannuthnoe, Mousehole St Just, Hayle and Penzance also paid a visit to Lands End Airport for future adventures Loved the warmth of the Aga easy to use Lots of Cornish history locally and viewed from the kitchen window towards the mine and light house Fabulous views at night of ships on the Atlantic the sound of the waves was magical Last night the stars were everywhere and looked so big in the night sky

Another lovely stay
Pennyfarthing is always a delightful place to be and this was no exception. We love the calm peaceful setting overlooking the fields, sea and old mine workings. First time in June and all the flowers were out plus barn owls and myriad other wildlife. We love it!

Fantastic Base to explore South West Cornwall
We arrived early Sunday afternoon and were immediately impressed. The centrepiece of the cottage is definitely the kitchen with the AGA keeping the whole cottage warm. The kitchen itself is very well equipped and there are plenty of pans and utensils specifically designed for cooking with the AGA.. If you have never used one it takes a little while to get used to but that was part of the fun. The sitting room was hardly used but was a nice place to watch the sunset from. There is a small step down into the downstairs bathroom which is very easy to get caught out by along with the water from the hot tap which really is hot. Something to be aware of if you have young children. The stairs are quite steep and the carpet can be a bit slippery so care needs taking especially with the low headroom. The views from the bedroom out over the cliffs are a lovely way to wake up in the morning. We had a fantastic time here and are sure that you would too.

We had a very pleasant and quiet stay, with sunny weather. The cottage is fully equipped and well located to visit both south and north coasts of Cornwall. We enjoyed the cottage and surroundings, as well as our daily appointment with sunset.

A wonderful cottage next to the sea
Everything was better than we had expected. We loved inside and outside everything. There is a lot of space arround the house where you can sit. The AGA was not complicated to handle and we were suprised of fresh flowers and herbs in the kitchen when we arrived. In the cottage is all and more what is needed for a wonderful stay. Sorry for bad english ;-)

What makes this property unique

The views from this cottage are breathtaking.
Lying in bed and looking out at the ocean and the diving gannets is like looking at an ever changing oil painting.
On a clear day the Scilly Isles are visible.
Set in one of the most unspoilt corners of Cornwall it is surrounded by history.
A place where you can feel how much stronger nature is than man.
By night the stars shine bright, by day bird-life fills the skies.
It is truly one of the most magical and restorative places I have ever experienced.
