About this property

Finest Retreats | West Cottage

West Cottage is a beautiful traditional Cornish cottage with fresh light décor and a refined yet characterful feel. Ideally located in the peaceful village of Goldsithney just a few minutes drive from the stunning beach of Perranuthnoe, and only a mile and a half from Marazion, guests will have some of Cornwall’s most picturesque scenery close at hand.

The cottage offers spacious accommodation, with separate living room, dining room and kitchen. There are also two double bedrooms, two shower rooms and an enclosed garden and patio area.

Entering through the wrought iron gate at the side of the cottage there is a useful internal porch and utility area with washing machine, great for storing shoes, jackets and beach gear. There is also a convenient downstairs shower room adjacent to the utility, with large shower enclosure, basin and WC.

Continuing through into the living room, there are two large windows looking out into the garden, making this a bright and sunny space. With two generously sized sofas and television, it’s perfect for relaxing after a long day of fresh sea air!

The kitchen is well equipped with all the amenities you will need, including double oven and ceramic hob, fridge freezer, dishwasher, toaster, microwave and kettle. The dining room sits at the heart of the cottage, and is a charming space to enjoy meals and socialise, with a round dining table to comfortably seat four.

Upstairs, the bedrooms are both light and airy, each with a double bed and plenty of storage space. There are stunning views from the master bedroom out over the countryside, perfect for enjoying a cup of tea in bed in the morning!

The upstairs bathroom also has shower enclosure with basin and WC.

Outside in the main garden area, there is a large patio with table and chairs suitable for outside dining, and a fully enclosed lawned area, ideal for pets. Guests also have access to a smaller patio area off the kitchen which is separate to the main garden. There is a small driveway offering parking for one small to medium sized car, however any larger or second cars can park on the road.

The village of Goldsithney is picturesque and peaceful, and the centre of the village is a conservation area. There are two pubs, a shop and post office, all within easy walking distance of the cottage. Locally, there are plenty of beautiful places to explore – as well as Perranuthnoe, the other closest beaches are Prussia Cove, Praa Sands and Rinsey, all within a 10 minute drive.

The coastal town of Marazion has a lovely waterfront with beaches either side and a good selection of shops, pubs and cafes. St Michael's Mount, sitting proudly out in Mounts Bay is not to be missed, now looked after by National Trust and accessible by foot at low tide, with a passenger ferry service once the causeway is underwater.

Going west along the coast you will find the historic town of Penzance, the quaint and largely untouched village of Mousehole with it's sheltered harbour, and the world famous Minack Theatre, a unique open-air theatre built into the cliff edge in the early 20th Century. Going east, Porthleven is only a short distance, and is fast becoming one of Cornwall’s most desirable places to visit.

The north coast is also easily accessible, with the picturesque town of St Ives being only 10 or so miles away. Offering restaurants, pubs and cafe's galore, independent shops and the stunning harbour framed by golden beaches, it is one of many places not to be missed in this varied and beautiful part of Cornwall.

Cornish break part 2
Lovely cottage in a quiet location yet close to the 2 pubs and tea rooms in the village if required. Also close to all other holiday requirements. Clean and comfortable and well equipped. We would definitely stay again. Only issue was the need for a mirror close to a socket for hair drying 😊

Nice cottage
Nice cottage with comfortable beds but beware if you are tall. There are a couple of low doorways and the light fitting over the table is low. My husband bumped his head on it several times. Also the details state off road parking for a small car. This is not an exaggeration. We have a Ford Puma which only just fitted on with a lot of manoeuvring otherwise a really pleasant cottage and a nice stay.

Excellent Place to stay
The cottage was lovely, and nicely furnished. Just a little note, I think as the cottage is obviously very old, there is a musty smell in the kitchen. However this really does not detract from the beautiful cottage. The cottage probably could have been a bit cleaner, And didn't really smell fresh when we walked in, the blinds were very dusty.

Great location
Quiet property which we liked, in a great location. Parking is definitely only for 1 car, second car we parked close by on the road. Garden is small but adequate however garden furniture is tired. Beds were only doubles but comfy & the view from the rear bedroom was lovely. As soon as we arrived we noticed the downstairs smelt very musty & also the kitchen cupboards were the same. We kept the windows open to try to air the cottage but this did not help when going out during the day. Kitchen appliances & utensils were adequate but no sauces were present so bring your own. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Very good property in a very good location.
More instruction on how to use internet and warning that link given on email was not to property but one near by would have made things on arrival a bit smoother.
