Copper Cottage

Copper Cottage is a tradtional Cornish cottage holiday home located 1 mile from Portreath and I can be booked via https://www. sykescottages. co. uk

Copper Cottage lies just a mile from the popular beach resort of Portreath and is easily accessed by car, bicycle or on foot from the cottage. The tramway, a cycle and foot path is almost on the doorstep and takes you right into the village.

The cottage itself sits in the quiet hamlet of Bridge and offers accommodation over 2 floors. On the ground floor is the living room with wood burner, TV, blue tooth speaker and free wi-fi for cosy nights in. There are games in the alcove cupboards and also a small collection of DVD’s both in english and foreign languages.

When not out sampling the culinary delights that Cornwall has to offer the kitchen is well equipped and has a gate leg table with seating for 4.

The bathroom has has both a shower and large bath to luxuriate in after a hard day at the beach or walking the lovely country trails in the area. .

The kitchen looks out onto a family friendly garden, which can be a delicious sun trap. There is a garden shed large enough for bike storage etc. As well as other garden furniture there is a picnic bench seating 4. So enjoy alfresco dining and barbecues whilst looking out for soaring buzzards towards the valley's woodland. The most we have spotted at any one time has been 6.

On the staircase there is a book case with both fiction and non fiction titles. Included in the selection are both books of local interest and some maps. If you start reading a book of fiction please feel free to take it home with you to finish and , perhaps, make a donation in pub charity box.

The double bedroom has standard double bed with bedside drawers and a built in wardrobe. The second bedroom could be described as snug and contains a bunk bed and sky light window. Linen is provided. There is also a skylight window on the landing.

Besides being ideally placed for the beach, walkers and cyclist will equally feel at home here as the locality has many way marked paths and cycle ways. There is also Tehidy Woods nearby which has 250 acres of woodland and over 9 miles of paths to explore and lies adjacent to the breathtaking Cornish coastline.

Just across the road is the Bridge Inn. A local pub run by local people where you will receive a warm welcome and will not need to worry about the drive home.

Cornwall is a popular holiday destination and for good reason. Copper Cottage is ideally located to visit many of the top tourist attractions in the county. Here are some suggestions for days out.

St Ives – has been described as the dazzling jewel in Cornwall’s crown. A picturesque fishing harbour and seaside town voted best family holiday destination by Coast magazine and one of TripAdvisor’s top 10 European beaches. St Ives is a subtropical paradise of palm trees and golden sands where fun and adventure are at every turn.

St Michael’s Mount - Marazion – Reached on foot at low tide across a causeway, this former medieval monastery has been sensitively restored to show life on the Mount in the 17th century. The chapel has sublime stained glass. The seaward gardens are a peaceful refuge on a busy summer’s day. A ferry service is available at hight tide.

The Eden Project – Dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World by some, the Eden Project is a dramatic global garden housed in tropical biomes that nestle in a crater the size of 30 football pitches. There are rock concerts in summer and ice-skating in winter. Buying your tickets at tourist information beforehand will save long queuing on arrival.

Geevor Tin Mine - One of Cornwall’s last working tin mines, which closed down in 1990. The knowledgeable, enthusiastic guides, some of them former miners, bring the buildings to life with anecdotes of the lives of the miners as they take visitors underground.

The Lizard Peninsula is the most southerly point in the UK. It has dramatic coastal scenery with spectacular views and is an excellent place to visit for those wishing to enjoy some peace and tranquility.

The Minack Theatre is Cornwall's world famous open-air theatre, carved into the granite cliff and set in glorious gardens overlooking the spectacular panorama of Porthcurno Bay.
