Ivy Cottage is cosy, calm , in easy walking distance to beach, harbour,, shops and cliff paths.
It combines the charm of an old cottage with the convenience of modern amenities.
After long hours swimming, surfing or trecking along cliff walks, light a barbecue outside or inside a fire in the wood-burning stove in the big granite fireplace
From the windows of the bedroooms, watch the ships sailing to Ireland or , at night , enjoy the flashing of the Wolf Rock lighthouse or the moon reflecting on the sea.
You can sleep well in the main bedroom, equipped with a wardrobe and a chest of drawers ,and also in the second bedroom equipped with 2 adult-size comfortable bunk beds ,wardrobe and cupboard.The bathroom offers you the choice of a shower or a nice hot bath
Downstairs , in the bright and well equippped kitchen , you can cook traditionally with the Rayburn cooker or use the electric appliances ( for your shopping ,walk to the Farmers' market or to the local shops nearby , but if you are tired of cooking , there is the famous First and Last pub , a few paces from the cottage!)
Six of you can sit round the kitchen table beside the window looking into the garden.
Nestling in the sofa, you can relax and watch TV or a DVD or stare at the flames if you have lit a fire.

Absolutely gorgeous as usual (5th stay). Amazing walks - amazing beaches. Only thing is, if you can't live without the World Wide Web then it's probably not for you (download speed about 0.3MB/sec). For us that was the best bit!

We were really pleased with the cottage and facilities and had a fabulous week with really good weather which is always a bonus. When we arrived we were met by Senan who was really lovely and showed us where everything was, would definately recommend the cottage

Our stay in the cottage was lovely and relaxing and the cottage had everything we needed. Often when staying away from home you expect to find things a bit lacking in the kitchen and you have to compromise meals to fit with what's available but that wasn't the case here. Towels were nice and big. Location was great. We found the cottage to be nice and clean. Owners son lives on site and although we didn't need anything I'm sure if we had he would have sorted it.

Our initial impressions of the cottage we’re good. We felt it was basic, but clean and suitable for our week away. We have read that turning into the parking space was tricky, but we both managed it with minimal stress in our estate car. We have visited the area nearly every year for 20years so we know the roads and beaches relatively well. We were overjoyed to learn that the weather was set to be warm and sunny all week and we managed 8 days on the beach. The cottage is well placed for both surf at Sennen and calmer beach days at Porthcurno. Lands End is a short walk and St Just a quick drive up the road. On our fist evening I found the previous occupants dirty towels hung on the bedroom door, which then set doubt in our minds as to how clean the accommodation actually was. During the week my husband swept the downstairs floor and found several items of rubbish behind the sofa that didn’t belong to us. A mug had been replaced in the cupboard that hadn’t been washed up, and several plates had food crusted on them. We were never told about the recycling system until the 6th day we were there. I couldn’t find any information in the cottage on what I should’ve done. The bedlinen in the second bedroom was of very poor quality. The kitchen had what I can assume was once a chopping board but was in such a poor state I had to chop meat and vegetables on a plate, and given how blunt the knives were I’d guess I wasn’t the first. None of the mugs or plates mugs matched which gave the place a run down feel. The immediate area around the cottage although ok, was plagued with a smell of fishing equipment which was coming from the property lived in on the site of the cottage. The Rayburn although lovely to see meant that the cottage was so hot it was almost unbearable sleep at night. We were told it burns all the time and to just open windows. This made very little difference. My family won’t return to Ivy Cottage, for the price we paid for a week it needs a big overhaul and some care given to the finer details. We have stayed in other cottages for less money that have been spotless and well cared for.
