    “From the second we walked through the door we felt at home and relaxed.”

    The welcome pack of goodies, (tea, biscuits, wine milk in the fridge} plus some cooking necessities was great. The kitchen is the best equipped i have ever come across in a holiday let. Everything was in great order and superbly clean. Ashton is in a great place to visit so many of the Cornish sites. Overall we can't recommend Driftwood cottage highly enough. Mr and Mrs Dawes contacted us when the weather turned cooler to encourage us to use the heating. The cottage is therefore very cosy even ...

    The welcome pack of goodies, (tea, biscuits, wine milk in the fridge} plus some cooking necessities was great. The kitchen is the best equipped i have ever come across in a holiday let. Everything was in great order and superbly clean. Ashton is in a great place to visit so many of the Cornish sites. Overall we can't recommend Driftwood cottage highly enough. Mr and Mrs Dawes contacted us when the weather turned cooler to encourage us to use the heating. The cottage is therefore very cosy even in inclement times. The double bed is so comfortable wished we could take the matress home with us! Overall we can't recommend Driftwood Cottage highly enough.

The property

Characterful tin miner’s cottage close to Porthleven and some beautiful beaches.

Set in the peaceful village of Ashton which lies just over a mile from the coastal path and picturesque sandy cove at Rinsey, where beach goers and surfers follow the winding footpath down towards the hidden sands and rock pools below the old mine stack that pin points this lovely piece of coastline. There is a family run pub within a short 2 minute stroll whilst Porthleven is just 3 miles from Driftwood Cottage, with its array of restaurants, cafes, pubs and gift shops.

Walkers will delight in the stunning views from the coastal footpath leading to the nearby Loe Bar and beyond, and for those keen to catch their own supper, fishing trips leave from the harbour throughout the summer season.

Famous St Michael's Mount at Marazion and the ancient market town at Helston are a ten minute drive in opposite directions, whilst St Ives, Falmouth and Penzance can be reached within a 30 minute drive. A charming gated garden leads into this charismatic cottage that was once a traditional miner's cottage dating as far back as the 1800s.

Carefully restored with exposed granite walls and beamed ceilings, the rooms are full of character.

A wood burning stove creates a cosy atmosphere in the comfortable sitting room.

The well presented dining room has an open aspect into the well equipped kitchen where a door leads outside.

Stairs lead up to two very attractive bedrooms decorated to a high standard with the use of pastel shades and soft furnishings whilst the twin room has distant views of the sea.

Enclosed outdoor areas with patio furniture and BBQ.

Off road parking available to the front of the property.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

HELSTON

Porthleven 3 miles; Falmouth 12 miles; Penzance 14 miles.

Helston lies at the western gateway to the Lizard Peninsula, a large area of downland fringed by a beautiful and spectacular coastline. Helston is a pleasant busy market town famous for it's Flora Day Festival and the many stories and legends about the "Furry Dance" are told in the fascinating Helston Folk Museum. Nestled in a tranquil setting is the National Seal Sanctuary on the Helford River, where there is plenty of entertainment watching seals play and feed. If it is thrill rides that excites you, then Flambards theme park will keep you amused all day and also has excellent living history experiences. Further afield is the harbour town of Falmouth to the east and Land's End to the west. Helston is a wonderful holiday destination offering plenty of attractions for the whole family.
