Description
Perched on the top of a hill and boasting breathtaking views, this comfortable cottage's three chimneys have been a landmark for ships sailing past Land's End for years.
This secluded hilltop haven is surrounded by boundless moorland, and if you visit us towards the end of the summer, you might even get the chance to see this incredible landscape covered by carpets of pink heather.
Inside, you'll find four bedrooms, two cosy living areas, a large kitchen/diner, as well as an enclosed private garden. This charming house offers spacious accommodation for up to eight guests, and with views over the sea and the moors, it's easy to while away the hours simply watching ships sail by.

What guests are saying
We know the St Aubyn houses well and have stayed in at least 4 over the many years we have visited Porthgwarra.
For us Three Chimneys is an outstanding property because of its secluded location, walks from the door and spectacular views. It’s also a reliable choice in the autumn as it’s warm and very comfortable. Our only issue this year was with the infestation of flies that we encountered on our arrival. These were in all the downstairs rooms and we had to use spray and fly papers to try and eradicate them. The property is near a farm and livestock so we know this to be a potential hazard - especially after a hot summer, but it was really quite extreme and unpleasant to have to deal with it immediately. We got the impression that either the cleaners had cleaned a week or two before our arrival so the fly problem has developed in the interim - or that they had ignored the problem on changeover. If that’s the case it’s not great. We should have been warned and someone should have popped round to sort it. Other than that : - a few more tea towels, washing machine and dishwasher tablets would be appreciated in the starter pack. We bring our own but it just seems a bit more welcoming particularly given the cost of the house. - there was very little cutlery - there was only one chopping board - there were very few sharp knives for food preparation. Overall though -we love the house and love to return when we can.
I love it, but then I don't care about little things, like the dishwasher needing salt and rinse aid and the tricky gate.
People should be aware that this property is in the country and should not fuss about moths, flies, cows, dogs and their droppings. It is a magical place.
I would like to point out that this property hasn't been cleaned properly for possibly months.
Every set of curtains has a moth infestation. There were dead flies on the rug in the room with the wood burner. Ashes left in the ash box. Cooking trays were greasy. Dog poo on the lawn. Cobwebs and spiders in the downstairs shower and window. Paint needs doing in most rooms. The water dispenser in the fridge leaks all over the floor. Some light bulbs need replacing. The grid at the back of the cooker is full of grease. The drive was bushes need cutting back. The picnic table outside is disgusting. The seats in the shed are filthy and need cleaning. The child's high chair was disgusting hadn't been cleaned for who knows how long. I don't think the house offered me value for what I paid to stay. I have been in a lot cleaner and better condition houses for less than I paid for this house. I really think I should have a discount and money back because this was not as described. It's a nice house that needs work and a different cleaning company looking after it because they are not doing what they are being paid to do. Hopefully all of the above will be addressed before anyone else stays there. I will be looking for some money back from you as what I had was not nice or as described
