The property

Step into the charm and character of Knockers Retreat, a beautifully restored, over 200-year-old former miner’s cottage nestled in the picturesque village of St Agnes.

Perfect for couples, families, or small groups.

This lovingly quirky cottage is full of personality, warmth, and comfort.

This property has a woodburning stove set in a stunning original inglenook fireplace and is close to several amenities, as well as the beach, making it a great place to stay for a group holiday.

Step foot into your new holiday base and fall for the neatly presented open-plan space.

Sit down on either the sofa or the armchair as you find the perfect spot before flicking on the Smart TV or play board games which are tucked into the coffee table — perfect for relaxed evenings in.

When you’re feeling like something to eat, cook up a treat using the electric oven and hob.

Sit at the breakfast bar or bring everyone together around the dining table to share some laughs as you eat.

Once the food has settled and the night sky is out, go up the spiral staircase to call it a night.

Pick from either the double or twin bedroom and find something to serenade you in the background on the TV.

After some rest, start the day off right with a soak in the bath or a shower to prepare you for another day of fun activities.

In St Agnes, Knockers Retreat is just a 30-second stroll from a Spar shop, newsagents, chemist as well as the brilliant Cornish Pizza Company, the friendly Railway Inn pub, alternatively there are independent shops, bakeries, and coffee spots.

Choose between three beautiful beaches: Trevaunance Cove, Trevellas, and Chapel Porth or explore the renowned Coastal paths with breath taking views, you can walk the scenic 4.5-mile trail along the South West Coast Path to Perranporth, enjoy lunch on the beach, and hop on the local bus back to the village (approx. 10 minutes).

Slightly further afield is Newquay for a great day at the Newquay Zoo or the Blue Reef Aquarium.

Whether you're here to relax by the fire, explore the coast, or paddle out into the waves, Knockers Retreat has everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay in one of Cornwall’s most beloved villages.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
