Porth Nanven Cottage, Near St Just & Coast, Dog Friendly with Parking

Why Choose Porth Nanven Cottage?
Location – an easy walk to both St Just, a vibrant market town, and the coast, with a cove only a stroll away and footpaths in every direction from your doorstep.
Accessibility – Porth Nanven Cottage is the perfect base for exploring the area, St Ives, Porthcurno, Lands’ End, Sennen and Penzance all within a short drive. With safe parking for one car (two by agreement).
Comfortable – chic yet cosy space, with two comfortable bedrooms, each with bathroom; big squashy sofas to curl up on, dining area and if you must stay in touch, high speed WIFI.
Tranquillity – peaceful valley location with easy access to beaches, restaurants and attractions.
Dog Friendly – It’s dog heaven, with walks in all directions and a safe, private garden for that early morning sniff about.
A warm welcome – the owners are next door to help if you need them, they are also happy for you to help yourself to their glorious vegetable garden.

Imagine spending your days exploring the breath-taking beauty of the wild, rugged landscape of West Cornwall, walking to Lands’ End or Zennor. Balance that with lazy days on nearby sandy beaches, such as Sennen or Porthcurno or find a lesser-known cove, such as Porth Nanven or Nanjizel, sunbathing and riding the waves. Returning to a clean, comfortable and stylish Cornish cottage where you can kick back and unwind, with a glass of something in the private garden. Then head out to St Just, Mousehole or St Ives for dinner to sample the vibrant Cornish culinary scene. If this is your idea of a perfect Cornish holiday, then Porth Nanven Cottage is your ideal choice.

Accommodation
The cottage is snuggled tightly into the hillside and is approached down a track in magical Cot Valley, which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Located in the far west of Cornwall between Cape Cornwall and Lands’ End, the valley stretches down to the sea and Porth Nanven Cove which is sandy at low tide. The market town of St Just is nearby with a selection of independent shops, a small co-op, butcher, veg shop, moomaid ice cream and coffee shop and a number of good pubs. If you need a larger supermarket, the historic coastal harbour of Penzance is 15 minutes away.

You enter the cottage up a path from the parking space, the front door is along the side of the property opening into a small hallway with hooks for coats. To the left is the newly installed kitchen, with plenty of cupboard space, large range cooker with ceramic hob, washing machine, dishwasher, large retro style fridge / freezer and microwave. The kitchen leads through to the spacious, open plan, triple aspect living and dining area, there are large windows looking out over the valley and French doors leading out to one part of the garden; the result, a bright and airy space with views over the garden. At one end of the room is a large comfortable sofa, coffee table and a smart TV, in the dining area there is a further sofa, armchair, small dining table and two benches. An ideal room for relaxing after a strenuous coastal walk or surfing at nearby Sennen Beach! On the other side of the cottage are two double bedrooms; the master has a comfortable super king bed and ensuite shower room with basin, shower and WC. The second bedroom has a double bed, cupboard and chest of drawers; both rooms are adorned with crisp white bed linen. There is a separate family bathroom with bath and shower over basin, towel rail and WC. You will find painted wooden floorboards and beautifully decorated rooms throughout the cottage.

There is space to park one car at the front of the property and the ability to park a second car by arrangement if required. To the front of the property is a gravelled area with garden table and chairs and a charcoal BBQ. There is a further garden area to the side of the property with patio directly outside the living room, the remainder laid to lawn and abundant flowerbeds. There are footpaths directly outside the cottage leading onto the coastal path and down to the sea, Porth Nanven House is next door, where the owners Emily and Alex live, but the cottage remains private with a secluded garden; perfect for couples or a small family.

Please note that access to the cottage is via a very narrow, secluded, unmade track. Whilst we endeavour to keep the track cut back, due to the nature of the property it can become quite narrow, particularly for larger vehicles.

Cot valley is absolute heaven for dogs with abundant footpaths, a stream leading down to the cove and footpaths in every direction; so we encourage all dog-owners to bring their beloved pets on holiday with them, they will thank you for it!

The changeover day is a Friday in peak season. Off season is more flexible - do get in contact if you cannot find your ideal dates and I will try to help.

Lovely stay in Cot Valley

This place is wonderful - quiet, beautiful, clean and close to the sea. The cottage was very comfortable with a stunning kitchen and top notch bedding. We loved St. Just and the surrounding area and my husband even won the local half marathon. Everybody we met was helpful and friendly - special thanks to Phay for excellent communication throughout. I could not recommend this place more highly - thank you!

Gorgeous Cottage Getaway

Brilliant location, just right for our party and little dog, with gorgeous views and surrounding walks. Only a stone’s throw from the sea further down the valley, I would recommend this property to anyone wishing to get away from it all!

Cute cottage close to the beach

The cottage is well equipped, comfy and has a garden, which adds space at least when the weather allows. It’s very quiet and super located for walks to the beach (10 minutes) and along the coastal path.

Ideal spot for a relaxing stay

If you want to get away from it all this is the place to come. Located in a beautiful valley with only the birds & the stream to listen to it is a place made for relaxation. Nearby St Just provides all the amenities you need and there are plenty of walks to go on that surround the cottage. The cottage is well furnished and with some added luxuries to make a very comfortable temporary 'home'

Heavenly cottage in magical Cot Valley!

The cottage nestles into the hillside and is a wonderful flowing space with two very comfortable bedrooms. We had a wonderful time here, two sisters who love to draw, photograph, walk and explore. The cottage was spotless, Phay the manager very helpful, and Emily the owner in the big house very welcoming. We will definitely be back! Thank you for a marvellous stay.

Cosy cottage

We found the cottage to be quiet, cosy and well stocked in a great location for walking the coast. We didn't enjoy the drive from St Just to the cottage though as it is mostly a single track very narrow lane for about a mile where the shrubbery scratched our car on both sides. The unmade track from the lane to the cottage is also not great for all cars.

Perfect Setting

This lovely cottage is in such a beautiful spot just a 10 minute stroll from Porth Nenvan Cove. We recommend the sunset when the tide is out, we took some lovely photos of it. The dog had the best time too. Highly recommended. Thankyou. Sally xx

A great place to chillax!

We spent a week in the cottage with another couple and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. It is situated at the end of some narrow lanes and quite secluded. We did a couple of long coastal walks around the area, including Cape Cornwall and then on to Bottallack of Poldark fame. All places to see are quite close at the pointy end of Cornwall too! The property provided a very good 'book' explaining how everything worked in the cottage and what was available nearby in St Just. It also listed places to visit and recommended restaurants - very helpful. Note that there is no mobile reception in the cottage, but there is a good broadband connection so you won't have to put up with social media disconnects unless you want to. The only - very slight - problem is the size of the second bedroom which is quite small. We got there first so got the first bedroom which was very roomy, and has an en-suite - so do the same if sharing! (-;?

Punktet mit traumhafter Lage

Traumhafter Wanderweg beginnt direkt hinter dem Haus. Ruhige, einsame Lage. Schöner abgeschlossener kleiner Garten, ideal für den Hund. Sehr nette Kommunikation mit der Agentur. Essplatz mit Wintergartenatmosphäre haben wir sehr genossen.Kleiner Wermutstropfen: statt Gartenmöbeln nur Campingstühle. Und eine Kaffeemaschine wäre auch ganz schön gewesen. Aber die Hütte war geschmackvoll und gemütlich eingerichtet.

Traumlage, Erholung pur

Wir waren 1 Woche in Porth Nanven Cottage, es steht in einer traumhafte Lage, ist sehr liebevoll und hell eingerichtet, gleich hinter dem Cottage beginnt der Coast Path an der Küste entlang, man kann wunderbar wandern, vom Haus/ Gästen nebenan bekommt man so gut wie nichts mit, eine sehr ruhige Umgebung, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in St. Just, in 10 min erreichbar! Haben tolle Restaurants und Pubs ausprobiert, alles gut mit dem Auto in kurzer Zeit erreichbar! Wir waren rundum zufrieden und haben unseren Urlaub genossen! Danke an Phay für die leckeren Scones und die Leckerlis für unseren Hund!

Schön und super Lage

Die Lage gefiel uns sehr. Etwas ausserhalb des kleinen Ortes St.Just. In wenigen Fußminuten erreicht man ein sehr schönes Stück Steilküste, mit dem Auto ist es nur ein paar Minuten nach St. Just. Dort gibt es alles, was wir als Urlauber zur Versorgung brauchten. Das Haus ist hell, modern und gemütlich eingerichtet und alles was man so braucht ist vorhanden. Rundherum ist nur grün, von den drei nahe gelegenen Cottages haben wir niemanden mitbekommen. Die Vermieter standen für Fragen und Unterstützung bereit und waren sehr freundlich. Vielen Dank dafür.
