Kernyk

Pool 1.2 miles.

Kernyk is a stylish and attractively presented two-bedroom character cottage, within a short drive of the beautiful North Cornish coast with several outstanding beaches nearby.

Ideal for four guests: families, friends and couples, it nestles in a pretty, enclosed garden, which includes a sunspot dining area for alfresco nibbles and tipples, and a generous lawn and mini orchard.

From the off-road parking spot for two cars, head into your holiday escape.

The sitting/dining room is a welcoming haven, with slate floors, ceiling beams, a big, sumptuous sofa, chair and Smart TV.

Enjoy a snuggle around the granite hearth and wood burner, ideal for those relaxed nights in.

Gather around the farmhouse dining table with good food and plan the next day’s adventure or reminisce about the fun day you’ve had exploring.

The kitchen is fully equipped, so the chef of the group can rustle up hearty breakfasts before you set out for the day.

The ground-floor shower room is ideal for a quick spritz after a day on the beach.

Head up to the first floor, where two bedrooms ensure good slumber.

The master has a super-king bed that converts into twin beds on request, offering additional flexibility for your guests, and the second has a double bed, with storage and garden views.

The smart family bathroom is a place to enjoy a relaxing soak.

There is much to explore along the North Atlantic Cornish coast which is just a short drive away.

The nearest beach is at Portreath, a mere 10 minute drive away, with a small harbour and sheltered beach with several cafes and water sports facilities.

Slightly further along the coast is Porthtowan with a scenic coast path to Chapel Porth, St Agnes and beyond.

Head back west to the glorious Gwithian and Godrevy beaches overlooking Godrevy lighthouse, a 4-mile stretch of golden sands awaits, with water sports, rock pools for exploration, coast path rambles, surf schools and ocean-side cafes.

Head a little further and you will find Hayle Towans beach, beautiful Carbis Bay and iconic St Ives, with galleries, eateries and restaurants, Tate St Ives and the Barbara Hepworth Museum.

Turn south and the rolling green hills take you down to more sheltered, sandy beaches and the charming fishing ports of Mousehole and Newlyn.

There is also the bustling town of Penzance with eateries and restaurants and stunning views of St Michael’s Mount in Mount’s Bay, visit the dramatic Lizard Point which is the most southerly point in Britain or head to the cosmopolitan port of Falmouth where you can take a fishing trip or leisure boat excursion and spy the seals.

The coastal sunsets are fabulous and make the perfect setting for sundowner picnics.

Kernyk is an idyllic holiday homestay, one to return to again and again.
