We have been lucky enough to enjoy this magical place for 25 years and never tire of what it has to offer. We enjoy sharing its magic with others.
Why they chose this property
Penny Farthing Cottage can be found in the Peninsula of Penwith west of Penzance. It is a beautiful area with incredible beaches, cliffs, ancient countryside, gardens and lots to see and do. You can stay local and walk the coastpath north and south or go further afield. The bus tours around the coastline from St. Ives to St. Just to Sennen, Land's End and Penzance.
All of these places are a great day out. Marazion, Mousehole or the fishing village of Newlyn are all a short drive away. You can catch a play at the Minnack Theatre in Porthcurnow or just sit on the cliff-paths and wait for the seals or occasional dolphins to show up.
The countryside is lush and colourful.
There are also many delicious food-stops available should you wish to try the local Cornish food scene or drink local wine from Polgoon. There are also plenty of wonderful art and crafts work from local artists to enjoy.
Plus the surfing credentials of the area in Sennen and other secret surf spots.

What makes this property unique
The views from this cottage are breathtaking.
Lying in bed and looking out at the ocean and the diving gannets is like looking at an ever changing oil painting.
On a clear day the Scilly Isles are visible.
Set in one of the most unspoilt corners of Cornwall it is surrounded by history.
A place where you can feel how much stronger nature is than man.
By night the stars shine bright, by day bird-life fills the skies.
The cottage over 150 years old is cosy and quirky and looks out at the historic and atmospheric Geevor and Botallack tin mines and landscape.
It is truly one of the most magical and restorative places I have ever experienced.
