Experience Cornwall's rich heritage in a cottage nestled between coast and countryside

Wild Rose Cottage, Illogan, is a lovingly renovated former miner's cottage that beautifully blends historic character with modern comforts. The well-equipped kitchen offers everything needed for your holiday getaway, including an electric oven and hob, fridge / freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine for those essential morning brews. In the cosy lounge, sink into comfortable sofas and armchairs arranged around the warming wood burner, perfect for relaxing evenings watching your favourite films on the Smart TV, while exposed stone walls and deep window sills showcase the cottage's authentic charm.

Step outside to discover an enclosed garden with a delightful terrace where you can dine alfresco with the charcoal BBQ sizzling away, surrounded by mature shrubs and plants with serene farmland views beyond. The property features three beautifully appointed bedrooms: a spacious super-king-size zip-and-link room with Smart TV and ample storage, a king-size bedroom offering countryside views towards St Agnes, and a bunk bedroom ideal for children. With a modern family bathroom featuring a shower over the bath and an additional WC in the utility room, Wild Rose Cottage ensures comfort for all guests.

Imagine waking up to birdsong filtering through your window, preparing a leisurely breakfast in the country kitchen while planning the day's coastal adventures. As evening falls, gather around the crackling wood burner, sharing stories of beach explorations and coastal walks, before retiring to crisp sheets and comfortable beds, the peaceful Cornish countryside ensuring a restful night's sleep.

Wild Rose Cottage, Illogan, is perfectly positioned to explore the best of Cornwall's stunning coastline and countryside. Just over three kilometres from the North Cornish coastline at Portreath, you can easily access this picturesque seaside village with its sandy beach and historic harbour. The beach is ideal for families and dog walkers, popular with swimmers, stand-up paddleboarders, kayakers, and surfers alike. Portreath offers an array of shops, pubs, and restaurants for when you're ready to sample local cuisine. For those seeking an active holiday, numerous walking routes begin right from your doorstep, including access to the famous South West Coast Path and Coast-to-Coast cycle trail.

The Great Flat Lode Trail in Treskillard, seven kilometres away, offers a scenic circular route showcasing Cornwall's rich mining heritage, historical engine houses, and stunning views, perfect for walking, cycling, and horse riding. Water sports enthusiasts will appreciate Stithians Lake Activities Centre in Menherion (9 km), providing a range of water activities, fishing, and nature trails in an idyllic lakeside setting. Animal lovers can visit Paradise Wildlife Sanctuary in Hayle (15 km), home to over 1,200 animals with interactive exhibits and a fun indoor play centre. Discover Cornwall's mining heritage at Poldark Mine & The Cornish National Heritage Collection in Trenear (16 km), offering fascinating underground tours.

Further afield, explore Trerice in Kestle Mill (30 km), a charming Elizabethan manor house with beautiful gardens, or visit Screech Owl Sanctuary & Animal Park in Goss Moor (34 km) to encounter diverse owl species and wildlife rehabilitation efforts. Roskilly's Farm in St Keverne (39 km) offers family-friendly activities, animal encounters, and their famous ice cream. The historic mining town of Camborne is only seven kilometres from the cottage. It was once at the heart of Cornwall’s industry and was where the first steam train was designed and built. Hayle, with its golden sandy beaches and fascinating history, is a 15-kilometre drive from the cottage. The Towans, Hayle’s dune system, is massive and an amazing place to walk. Much of the dunes are a Site of Special Scientific Interest and protected nature reserve. Both towns worth exploring during your stay.
