First and Last Cottages - Carn Scathe - self catering cottage, Porthgwarra, near Porthcurno, Cornwall

"Carn Scathe", is a large, traditional, terraced granite cottage in the fishing cove of Porthgwarra, just yards from the sea. It commands stunning views of the cove and the surrounding cliffs. The south west coastal path passes by the bottom of the garden. There is a delightful cafe in the cove. Porthgwarra is a haven for birdwatchers and the cafe often opens in the depths of winter when there are lots of rare birds around. It takes about twenty minutes to walk along the cliffs to the famous Minack Theatre and the fabulous beach at Porthchapel is a short walk away. Land's End and the sandy "Blue Flag" beach of Sennen Cove are just 3 miles away. This property can only be accessed on foot so it's not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.

Carn Scathe is now under new ownership and during the winter of 2010 the lounge and downstairs bedroom will be knocked into one which will double the size of the lounge.

  • Sleeps 8 (1 double with 5 foot bed with en-suite bathroom with shower over bath on the ground floor, 2 doubles, one with 5 foot bed, 1 small twin and 1 single). In 2011 it will still sleep 8 but there will be no ground floor bedroom. The likely layout will be 3 doubles and one twin.

  • Private south-facing garden with garden furniture and built-in BarBQ
  • Reserved parking for one car (please note the nearest you can get the car to the property is approximately 80 yards away, with a small climb up - however don't let the access put you off - once you are settled in you will be so pleased to be based in Porthgwarra!)
