Carn Scathe, self catering accommodation, Porthgwarra

First and Last Cottages - Carn Scathe - self catering apartment, 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.
