West Cottage at Goldsithney

A beautiful traditional Cornish cottage with fresh light décor and a refined yet characterful feel. Ideally located in the peaceful village of Goldsithney just a few minutes drive from the stunning beach of Perranuthnoe, and only a mile and a half from Marazion, guests will have some of Cornwall’s most picturesque scenery close at hand. The cottage offers spacious accommodation, with separate living room, dining room and kitchen. There are also two double bedrooms, two shower rooms and an enclosed garden and patio area. Entering through the wrought iron gate at the side of the cottage there is a useful internal porch and utility area with washing machine, great for storing shoes, jackets and beach gear. There is also a convenient downstairs shower room adjacent to the utility, with large shower enclosure, basin and WC. Continuing through into the living room, there are two large windows looking out into the garden, making this a bright and sunny space. With two generously sized sofas and television, it’s perfect for relaxing after a long day of fresh sea air! The kitchen is well equipped with all the amenities you will need, including double oven and ceramic hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, toaster, microwave and kettle. The dining room sits at the heart of the cottage, and is a charming space to enjoy meals and socialise, with a round dining table to comfortably seat four. Upstairs, the bedrooms are both light and airy, each with a double bed and plenty of storage space. There are stunning views from the master bedroom out over the countryside, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea in bed in the morning! The upstairs bathroom also has shower enclosure with basin and WC. Due to the age and style of this cottage, it may not be suitable for infirm guests or very young children. Outside in the main garden area, there is a large patio with table and chairs suitable for outside dining, and a fully enclosed lawned area, ideal for pets. Guests also have access to a smaller patio area off the kitchen which is separate to the main garden. There is a small driveway offering parking for one small to medium sized car, however any larger or second cars can park on the road. The village of Goldsithney is picturesque and peaceful, and the centre of the village is a conservation area. There are two pubs, a shop and post office, all within easy walking distance of the cottage. Locally, there are plenty of beautiful places to explore – as well as Perranuthnoe, the other closest beaches are Prussia Cove, Praa Sands and Rinsey, all within a 10 minute drive. The coastal town of Marazion has a lovely waterfront with beaches either side and a good selection of shops, pubs and cafes. St Michael’s Mount, sitting proudly out in Mounts Bay is not to be missed, now looked after by National Trust and accessible by foot at low tide, with a passenger ferry service once the causeway is underwater. Going west along the coast you will find the historic town of Penzance, the quaint and largely untouched village of Mousehole with it’s sheltered harbour, and the world famous Minack Theatre, a unique open-air theatre built into the cliff edge in the early 20th Century. Going east, Porthleven is only a short distance, and is fast becoming one of Cornwall’s most desirable places to visit. The north coast is also easily accessible, with the picturesque town of St Ives being only 10 or so miles away. Offering restaurants, pubs and cafe’s galore, independent shops and the stunning harbour framed by golden beaches, it is one of many places not to be missed in this varied and beautiful part of Cornwall.
