Horseshoe Cottage

Horseshoe Cottage is a charming, traditional retreat nestled in the rural tranquillity near Holywell, Cornwall. Within walking distance of three beautiful beaches, including the stunning Porth Joke – listed among the Top 10 beaches in the UK by The Telegraph and featured in numerous magazines – this inviting single-storey barn conversion is the perfect escape for couples seeking a peaceful coastal getaway.

Just a short stroll from golden sands and dramatic headlands, guests can enjoy the unique setting and endless opportunities for seaside adventures. Step inside and you’ll be greeted by a welcoming sitting room, complete with a Freeview TV and DVD player for those quiet nights in.

The well-equipped kitchen/diner provides everything you need to rustle up a romantic meal, which can be enjoyed at the dining table for two. When sleep calls, move through the property to discover a comfortable double bedroom, ready to offer a restful night’s sleep before another day of exploring.

A contemporary shower room with a walk-in shower completes the interior, providing a refreshing space to prepare for your day. Outside, the private oak-framed garden room and furnished patio invite you to linger over a morning coffee or an evening drink, soaking up the serene surroundings.

The enclosed garden, complete with a well-kept lawn, offers a safe and relaxing space to unwind after a day on the coast. From here, you’re perfectly placed to explore the South West Coast Path, with breathtaking walks to Holywell Bay, Crantock, and the unspoiled beauty of Porth Joke.

Along the way, keep an eye out for grey seals basking on the rocks, dolphins dancing in the surf, and coastal birds soaring overhead. In spring and summer, the cliffs burst into color with wildflowers, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for your adventures.
