About this property

Stylish, contemporary cottage for two close to the sea, beaches and village pub

The Old Ration Shop is a cottage for two. White and bright, stylish and contemporary with Farrow and Ball colours and a good mix of old and modern complemented with original art, plus all the mod cons for a comfortable year round holiday. Views are of the garden, fields and cliffs towards the sea. The South West coastal path is nearby (approximately 7 minutes walk through the village) offering beautiful walks in both directions passing fabulous beaches and overlooking the bluest of seas. The Halzephron Inn, the perfect place to watch the sunset, is a short stroll away with views over Mounts Bay and Fishing Cove.

The Old Ration Shop is arranged over two floors and is attached on one side to the owners cottage. There is a private enclosed Mediterranean style garden. In 2022 we converted the building across the courtyard into a garden studio with cosy seating, a dining area and a wood burning stove.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
