The Cottage Garden
The slate steps lead up to the elevated cottage garden. With its dry stone wall, the garden was designed and planted to reflect the Cornish hedgerows. The perfect spot for sipping afternoon tea and scoffing scones with jam and clotted cream. In the garden you’ll also find the utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer.
Outside
Corner Cottage is situated just above the splendid-crescent shaped beach. A hop, skip and jump away, you’ll find The Loft for a selection of sandwiches and Roskilly’s Ice cream and the village store, selling essentials and local produce.
Set in a stunning location, a friendly welcome awaits you at the village pub the Paris Hotel, named after the liner SS Paris which ran aground on the headland in 1899.
Stroll down to the harbour, grab a bag of fish and chips from the Old Life Boat House and spend a couple of hours basking on the harbour wall in the last of the day’s sun. Life doesn't get much better.
