About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Beautiful granite cottage with parking and garden. Near the coast. Dogs welcome.

End of terrace cottage with many exposed granite walls and wooden beams. Sunroom at the front. 2 double bedrooms and 1 bedroom with bunk beds. Bathroom with toilet, bath and shower. Second toilet. Open plan downstairs with lounge/diner and kitchen. The dining table comfortably seats 6. There is a piano which you are welcome to play. Central heating and log burner. Fully enclosed garden with lawn, patio and decking area. There is off road parking for several cars.

Ashton is a small village between Helston and Penzance. It is 1 mile from the coast, but you can see the sea (just!) from the master bedroom. Praa Sands is just 2 miles away as is the beautiful harbour village of Porthleven, which has several good pubs and restaurants including Rick Stein's. St Michael's Mount is 10 minutes away. Land's End, St Ives and the stunning Lizard Peninsula are all within half an hour's drive, and further afield is the Eden Project. There are many National Trust properties nearby, and we are in the heart of Poldark country. The cottage is set back from the main road, and is therefore quiet and free from traffic noise. The Lion and Lamb pub is about 150yards away. We are 150 yards from the main bus route between Penzance and Falmouth.

The cottage is our home, and has been for over 25 years. We work away from home for 8 months of the year, and so would rather the cottage was used and enjoyed, rather than standing empty.

There is a high chair that can be made available for you to use at your own risk. There is also a washing machine and tumble drier for your convenience. Please note that electric cars cannot be charged at the house. There are public charging points in Porthleven and Helston.

Fantastic Cottage & Location
The Cottage and garden were perfect very traditional and full of character. Beds were very comfy the shower was great and easy to use. The main bathroom was very swish -loved all the glitter touches. The piano had an amazing sound. Leather sofa/chairs in Lounge were so comfortable to sit in. We also sat in the front porch some of the time. There was a huge airer in there which if we had needed it would of been very helpful. Thankfully we had excellent weather. The location is perfect for so many attractions/beaches. The Lizard, Praa Sands, Marazion, Perranporth Beach and harbour, Helston, Perran Sands at low tide to name a few. We felt like we were coming home each time we returned to Thurcroft Cottage. We found an excellent walk from the cottage. Up the lane turn right and right into the Ashton Amenities Field (great for dogs). In the far left corner there is a lane that takes you to the Garden centre and Kitchen Cafe in Breage. Well worth a visit. We would definitely pay a return visit. We also had an amazing meal out at The Coach & Horses. We love Cornwall.

We really enjoyed two weeks in the cottage. As it is a home, that meant that it was practically equipped, unlike so many rentals. Jane was very responsive and helpful before and during the stay. We enjoyed walking to the sea from the house and it is really well located for everything that SW Cornwall has to offer. The local pub is great and Porthleven is just a few minutes away (or a coastal walk). The easy parking and lovely outdoor space at the back was also much appreciated. We would definitely come back!

Home away from home!
Amazing cozy cottage. I don't think the photos actually do this cottage justice! So much roomier than it looks on the photos. We didn't want to come home! The village had a power cut one afternoon and the owners were brilliant for getting in touch with and checked in with us after a couple of hours to check it had come back on. Really peaceful village and our 2 dogs loved the garden! Will definitely be back fingers crossed! Thankyou for the wonderful stay!

Beautiful cottage with a lovely enclosed garden, spotlessly clean with everything we needed. Lovely park and local pub with good food both within a 5 minute walk. Between Jane and the book in the cottage we had all the info we required. Would definitely recommend, thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed for a week long stay. Highly recommended!
More than enough room for a family of 6. Two toilets! (a real bonus). There is a nice decked area, great for morning coffee and evening sundowners. Pretty central to all the beaches (the nearest being a 5 minute drive) and attractions, such as St. Micheal Mount, Penzance and St. Ives. A big THANK YOU to Jane and Macky for sharing their home with us, we would definitely recommend this to anyone who would want a home away from home whilst on holiday. Cornwall, we will be back!

Excellent cottage in great Location
The cottage has lots of charm and character in a good location, right in the middle of all the local attractions. The garden was great and a good size, parking for 3 cars. I would definitely recommend staying at the cottage, it had everything we needed ( just like home from home), we had a great holiday and the weather was good. Thanks Ray and Heather

Homely haven near the sea
We had a lovely week here. A real home from home. Had everything we needed. We loved the sun lounge in the front! Would love to come back to see more of the lovely beaches as I was poorly for the last 3 days but Praa Sands was heaven! Jane was so understanding and let us book an extra night as I was too unwell to travel.

We both had a wonderful stay at this beautiful cottage. The cottage is situated in a great location for exploring West Cornwall, and was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The communication from our hosts Jane and Macky was excellent, and we were made to feel very welcome. We would love to stay again in the future.

Perfect Cornish hideaway
We have had a wonderful week in this comfortable, cosy cottage. It has been a perfect base for our coast path walking - a real pleasure to come home to after a long days walking. The cottage is really well equipped, with everything you might need, and the garden is delightful as well as being dog safe. Thank you to Jane and Macky for being lovely hosts with excellent communication and thoughtful extras.

Beautiful setting as a base to explore
Our family of four had a fun-filled week in this beautiful holiday home. Jane and Macky’s home is spacious, welcoming and with a lot of original features and charm, the perfect combination for a relaxing stay. The location could not be more perfect for exploring Cornwall; St Ives, Lizard Point and Marazion are all within easy reach and some trips further afield to Newquay and Lands End were also easily manageable. Our top tip for the beach is Praa Sands which is a beautiful sandy beach only five minutes from the cottage. Make sure you also visit the Lion and the Lamb pub at the end of the road for beautiful food. Thank you Jane and Macky!
