The School House - self catering holiday cottage, Porthcurno, Cornwall

The School House, built in the 1880's, was originally a church property and in the 1920's it was used as a private school set up for Cable & Wireless employees. Later it was used as a social centre with films showing every Friday, euchre drives and the like. It is a 3-bedroomed detached, granite house set in its own private garden. It's a few minutes walk from Porthcurno Beach, one of the most spectacular beaches in the country. It's just 1/2 mile from the famous Minack Theatre.
