Cottage Close To Sea, Between Portreath And Godrevy
UPDATED Spring 2024
We bought our cottage a few years ago and started with a total house renovation, creating 3 bedrooms and 3 ensuite bathrooms. Now (April 2024) we have just completed another round of improvements – refurbishing rooms, updating where we needed to and including a big freestanding Samsung fridge freezer for all the food and drink needs for families looking to relax and enjoy the excellent produce from the area (and as requested from a 2023 review).
Little Nampara is at heart an old, historic cottage with thick granite walls and a big, enclosed garden originally used by the Nurserymen who tended the gardens at the Great Bassett estate, now Tehidy Country Park - which surrounds the cottage. In its day, the estate was owned by one of the richest families in the world and the area still has a feel of grandeur and of carefully sculptured beautiful countryside.
Having grown up in Cornwall and nearby, we bought our cottage knowing what a hidden gem the Tehidy area is, combining breath-taking views, Cornwall’s first country park AND - the stunning Atlantic Ocean coastline a mile away at Bassett Cove. The nearby beaches of Portreath and Godrevy offer world class surf and stunning beaches for everyone.
In fact the cottage is surrounded by many other exceptional beaches/surf spots including Porthtowan, Chapel Porth, St Agnes and Perranporth.
Cornwall’s best towns of Falmouth, St Agnes, St Ives and Penzance are also a short drive away, famed for Art, restaurants, bars, galleries, museums, boat trips, outdoor theatres and many things to keep everyone interested and entertained.
Locally there are also many miles of trails, footpaths, cycle paths and lanes – within the local woods, the SW coastal path and beyond – all beginning at our Cottage gates. Tehidy Country Park - Cornwall’s first and best country park is a haven for wildlife and birds in particular - with a large lake (see photo), excellent coffee shop and many miles of cycle trails and paths - within 5 minutes’ walk from the cottage.
Little Nampara is also a quiet and tranquil retreat, with a large, enclosed cottage garden, 2 lawns (1 given to wildflowers) a deck and patio which is ideal for both couples and families of all ages.
This is our home from home and we have done our best to create a comfortable fun place, although we really bought it because of its special location.
The cottage has an updated central heating system, along with high-end wood burner, 3 modern bathrooms (2 showers, 1 bath), hand painted hand-made wood shaker style kitchen, integrated dishwasher, integrated wine and drinks cooler, large brand new Samsung fridge freezer, washing machine, boutique-style decorations and furniture (sofas, armchairs and dining suite for 6), large outside deck with teak table and chairs, BBQ, painted floor boards with quarry tiles throughout.
Little Nampara cottage is surrounded by a large garden and has plenty of parking - 2 cars next to the garden and several cars on the gravel drive.
Thank you for looking and reading this far!
2024 NEW ADDITIONS:
• Large SAMSUNG Fridge Freezer
• New Dyson V10
• Kitchen fan/extraction hood
• 3 new bathroom fans
• Antique desk/table and chair
• BBQ
• Sun loungers

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Neill Fry

Having gown up in Cornwall I bought Little Nampara Cottage to be closer to my Cornwall based family and with my family to enjoy the fantastic beaches, wildlife and countryside this area offers. We love relaxing, surfing and being on the beach (Godrevy is world class in all respects), cycling and golf.
Why they chose this property
Little Nampara is a great place to get away from it all. It is located in a wonderful hidden gem called Tehidy, the old estate park for what was at one time the 4th richest family in this country and now Tehidy Country Park and surrounding land. It is an attractive cottage, fitted out to a high specification, within a large cottage garden. Whilst we have our favorite beaches close by (Godrevy, Gwithian, Bassetts Cove, Chapel Porth, Portreath, Porthtowan, Trevaunce Cove) there are many places to visit nearby.
What makes this property unique
Unique soft countryside, beside rugged and stunning Atlantic coast - the best beaches, peace and quiet.
