PLEASE NOTE BEFORE BOOKING: This property is hosted and managed by The Cornish Way Limited as agent for the property owner (princial). By completing a booking, the guest acknowledge and agrees that the Agency accepts no responsibility for any acts or omissions of the Owner.
Experience country living at its very best from this dog friendly rustic cabin located between St Ives and Penzance with the numerous beaches and villages of west Cornwall all in easy reach. The Woodcutter's Cabin offers comfortable open plan accommodation with all creature comforts taken care of and a stunning private veranda overlooking beautiful gardens. There is even a unique outside bath where you can soak away overlooking the enchanting gardens or at night looking up at the star-filled skies.
Painstakingly built by local craftsmen using wood from trees in the grounds, from our first visit we completely fell in love with the Woodcutter’s Cabin. If you're looking for a rural retreat off the beaten track surrounded by nature we couldn't think of anything more perfect. This truly unique property has a spacious open plan interior that is entirely bespoke, with its handmade kitchen and a stunning driftwood bed to curl up in after a day exploring this magical part of West Cornwall. The living area has a wood burning stove to keep you toasty and French doors lead out to the decked terrace overlooking the exquisite gardens.
Outside in the gardens, there are numerous areas to enjoy, including a sitting area at the very back where you can catch glimpses of the sea in the distance. It’s a nature lover’s paradise awash with wildlife, including visiting badgers and foxes and resident shrews, rabbits, frogs, buzzards and owls. The gardens really are a delight and if you’re bringing your four-legged friend they will be in doggie heaven (pets allowed anytime outside July and August). There are almost three acres of grounds shared only with Martin and Caroline, the lovely owners of neighbouring Primrose Cottage.
If it’s seclusion away from the everyday hectic world you’re looking for then you may well have found your perfect holiday…
LOCATION
The Boskednan area of New Mill is a collection of beautiful cottages, all private from one another, nestling in the hidden shelter of a stream-fed valley where gunnera (the fairy tale giant rhubarb like plant) reaches up, casting its gentle green tinge to all below it. Although you will feel lost in idyllic countryside it is a ten-minute drive to Penzance or a little further to Marazion with its fabulous beach overlooking the famous St Michaels Mount. The Woodcutter's Cabin is pretty much equidistant from the north and south coasts. While it's inland you could easily walk the 4kms to the north coast, and you can spot the south coast between the trees.
LIVING
The cosy living area is centred on the large wood burner and it's a wonderful place to relax in with a large comfy sofa and armchair. There is a 40-inch flat screen TV. It's internet ready with Freesat and access to Netflix and iPlayer.
COOKING & EATING
The hand-built wood and slate kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast together with a Bosch electric oven and induction hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and washing machine. There are a table and chairs perfectly positioned to enjoy your meals looking out of the French doors into the gardens.
SLEEPING
The bedroom area has a majestic driftwood king size bed with a super comfy John Lewis mattress. There is a chest of drawers and a small handmade wardrobe.
BATHING
The shower room has underfloor heating, a heated towel rail and of course there is the outside bath with endless piping hot water. Just be careful walking back into the cabin with wet feet. Towels and bedding will be supplied for you, just remember to bring your beach towels.
OUTSIDE
The term garden hardly does justice to the extensive outside space at the Woodcutter’s Cabin. The outside terrace has two steamer sun loungers and a bistro table and chairs for lazy breakfasts. If you’re a nature lover the grounds are filled with many rare specimen plants and shrubs and they are surrounded by wild countryside with breath-taking walks in every direction.
USEFUL TO KNOW...
PARKING: There's a parking space outside Primrose cottage from where you walk up paths to the cabin. You won't get a low-slung sports car up the track and must drive with caution in bad weather.
WI-FI: Very fast (Up to 90MB) broadband means you can stay connected at The Woodcutters Cabin.
HEATING: A large cosy wood burner and additional electric heater in the bedroom area.
PETS: Two well-behaved dogs are welcome at £35 each per week/short break.
This is a dog's paradise. You're a long way from main roads, and the footpaths and tracks head off to the moors from right outside the cottage, and for the more adventurous walker - on up to the coast. Far West Cornwall is doggie heaven! There’s plenty of beaches and coast paths for exploring. Please make sure they stay out of bedrooms and off the furniture and that you rub down muddy/sandy feet before they come in.
LINEN & TOWELS: You'll have bedding & towels but please bring your own beach towels.
UTILITY: There is a washing machine in the kitchen.
ACCESSIBILITY: The Woodcutters Cabin has various steps and paths leading up to it and is not suitable for children or those with limited mobility due to the remote rural location and numerous steps and paths. It is fine for a baby although do call us first to make sure it’s suitable for you.
This property is not wheelchair friendly and may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. If this applies, please contact our booking office to discuss the properties potential suitability prior to confirming.
CHANGEOVER & SHORT BREAKS: Changeover is usually Friday. Short breaks are available with a minimum of three/four nights arriving on a Friday or Monday out of season. Don’t worry if you need to book dates that don’t quite fit, just call or email and we will do our best to make it work.
PROPERTY IMAGES AND DESCRIPTIONS: From time to time minor upgrades and improvements and changes to furnishings at The property may mean it varies slightly from the images and descriptions on the Website.
