The Old Well House

About this property

St Day 1 mile, Porthtowan & Portreath beaches just a short drive away. Set within the private grounds of a historic country estate near the owner's home in Scorrier, Cornwall, is this detached three-storey character property, The Old Well House. Boasting a balcony with furniture, a quirky décor and a music room and library, this cottage provides a unique holiday experience in a beautiful area of Cornwall. Approach by private lane, happen upon your home-from-home, and enter the stone and slate cottage into the kitchen, with an electric oven and hob, even a handy dishwasher to help with the cleaning up.

Steps lead up to the living/dining room where you can dine on your feast at the dining table for two, before settling down on the sofa to watch the Smart TV while the woodburning stove crackles nearby. Take the spiral staircase to the first floor where the double bedroom lies; rest your head on the plush bed, and when you wake freshen up in the en-suite shower room. From here, make your way through the doors to a private balcony, equipped with garden furniture so you can enjoy the far reaching rural views with a glass of wine in hand. From the exterior spiral stairs you can make your way down to the graveled garden area which also has seating.

Completing the cottage is the distinctive snug on the lower-ground floor, home to a sofa and an electric fire, perfect for cosying up with a loved one, along with books, games and record player with selection of records to keep you entertained. If you prefer a night away from the kitchen take a walk along country lanes (torch provided is advisable) to Vogue where you will find The Star Inn which boasts good food. The perfect escape awaits you at The Old Well House. Note: This property can be booked with Ref: 1193988 together sleeping six guests.

St Day was originally named after the little known Saint Day or Dye (better known in Brittany). The village now has a pub and convenience store, as well as a granite, gothic-style church dating back to 1828. Six miles away is the popular village of Portreath which attracts visitors from around the world with its wild and rugged coastline. High cliffs, secluded coves and sandy, surf-washed beaches typify the area while all around are reminders of the area's rich industrial heritage. Portreath offers a small fishing harbour, shops, a number of pubs, three cafés and a Chinese takeaway, while its safe, sheltered sandy beach is a popular attraction. For a great day out, visit the cathedral city of Truro with its cobbled streets, shopping centre, theatre, museum and great restaurants, just 7 miles away, or travel a few miles along the coast to Gwithian and follow the vast expanse of sandy beach, which leads down to Hayle and on to St Ives. A delightful holiday location.
