Set within a converted Methodist chapel located in the small hamlet of Rinsey, this beautiful granite cottage has been transformed into a cosy Cornish bolthole that invites endless relaxation and plenty of coastal adventures. The sitting room is a warm and welcoming space with its miniature library and homey wood-burning stove, while the open-plan kitchen beckons hearty meals around its farmhouse-style table. The two bedrooms are simple yet comfortable, promising a peaceful night’s sleep and memorable wake-ups thanks to their splendid sea views. With a sunny patio inviting alfresco breakfasts and dinners beneath the stars – as well as an adjoining thicket for all manner of outdoor games – you’ve got everything you need for a fun, carefree stay. When it comes to exploring, you’re a four-minute walk from the famous South West Coast Path, an eight-minute stroll from the historic Wheal Prosper Tin Mine, while the unspoiled tidal sands of Rinsey Cove are nine minutes away on foot. You’re also just a ten-minute drive from Hendra Beach, as well as from the quaint fishing town of Porthleven and its myriad restaurants, galleries and shops.
