The wonderfully cosy open-plan living space features a beautifully equipped kitchen with electric oven, hob, microwave, and dishwasher – ideal for creating feasts after days of exploration.

Step outside to discover a spacious, fully enclosed terrace with alfresco dining furniture and a charcoal BBQ. The property boasts two splendidly appointed bedrooms: a wonderful king-size with built-in wardrobe and full-length mirror, featuring double doors that open onto the garden, and a delightful twin at the opposite end of the cottage. A modern shower room with washing machine ensures complete comfort throughout your stay. With thoughtful touches throughout and off-road parking for two cars, this delightful former piggery provides an idyllic base from which to explore Cornwall's treasures.

Imagine waking to birdsong filtering through the stable door, preparing a leisurely breakfast in the well-equipped kitchen before stepping out onto your private terrace. Savour your morning coffee while planning your day's adventures, whether rambling along nearby coastal paths or exploring enchanting waterside towns. As evening falls, ignite the wood burner, pour a glass of local wine, and reminisce about your Cornish discoveries.

Olive Cottage, Penryn is perfectly positioned to explore Cornwall's most captivating attractions. The magnificent Pendennis Castle in Falmouth is only eight kilometres away and offers panoramic views across Falmouth Bay to St Mawes, along with interactive exhibitions and family-friendly activities. For outdoor enthusiasts, Stithians Lake Activities Centre (12 km) provides an idyllic setting for water sports, fishing, and picturesque nature trails. Delve into Cornwall's industrial heritage at Poldark Mine & The Cornish National Heritage Collection (15 km), where fascinating underground tours showcase the region's mining past. Visit Healeys Cornish Cyder Farm (20 km) for award-winning experiences including guided tours, vintage tractor rides, and delicious apple-based products.

Venture further afield to experience the dramatic coastal landscape of Lizard Point (35 km), where rugged cliffs, rare wildlife, and historical landmarks create an explorer's paradise. Art enthusiasts will appreciate Tate St Ives (38 km), an iconic gallery overlooking the Atlantic and featuring works by artists with a connection to the town. For a unique swimming experience, visit the celebrated Jubilee Pool in Penzance (40 km), a saltwater lido with a geothermal pool and panoramic views.

Take a 13-kilometre drive to the nearby city of Truro, Cornwall's county capital. Filled with Gothic Revival and Georgian buildings, the city offers excellent shopping, dining, and cultural attractions. The historic clay mining town of St Austell (36 km) is home to the world-famous Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. In the centre of town, the 14-metre tall Earth Goddess ceramic sculpture pays tribute to the county's clay-making past. A visit to the town makes an unforgettable day trip.
