The Area

Beautiful listed building between Land's End and St. Ives in the far west of Cornwall. Sleeps up to 3 in 2 bedrooms.

The cottage was recorded and mapped by local historian Borlase in 1760 as "Ruins in Bojewyan town!" It is now a quaint and comfortable cottage - a perfect retreat for a wonderful holiday in this area of truly outstanding natural beauty.

The cottage often benefits from glorious sunsets over the sea. Behind the cottage is a lane onto the moorland of Woon Gumpus Common where National Trust paths will lead you to Chun Quoit and the ruins of Chun Castle, from which you can see across to both coasts.

Just across the fields and down the cliffs is beautiful Portheras Cove, a peaceful and secluded beach. Portheras can be reached either by walking down from the house or driving part-way. There are also pretty coves near Pendeen Lighthouse.

In the nearby village of Pendeen is a former tin mine, which now offers a fine museum and underground tours. There is a working beam engine at Levant. Pendeen has an excellent corner shop, three pubs (all of which serve food) within walking distance of Bojewyan, a meadery and a friendly, family-run restaurant.

The town of St. Just is ten minutes' drive away, with shopping, pubs and restaurant facilities, and also a golf course and health club. Sennen Cove, the famous surfing beach, is twenty minutes' drive, as are St. Ives and Penzance. Driving to Land's End takes twenty-five minutes.

Also available: Farmhouse sleeping 6 people.
