Everything you need and all the must-see sights are within quick and easy reach, making Myrtle House the perfect base to discover all that the far west of Cornwall has to offer.

LOCATION

Myrtle House is located within the miner’s village of Pendeen in the heart of the far west of Cornwall. The area around here is a really magical place, and is often referred to as ‘Poldark Country’, it is in many ways untouched by modern-day life with its tin mining relics and unspoiled coastline. If you’re looking for a walker’s paradise to explore and to be off the beaten track then the comfort of this wonderful home is the perfect spot to do so. This part of West Cornwall showcases some of the most magnificent sunsets so don’t forget to pack your camera.

Just along the coast is the outstanding Pendeen Lighthouse, historic Geevor mine, or peaceful Portheras Cove, a stunning local beach so don't forget your walking boots. For surfers, hop in the car and you can be down on Sennen or Gwenver beaches, both a short drive away. You won’t be disappointed by the stretch of golden sands, dunes and crystal-clear water and popular surf break.

At the end of a fun day of beaching, head to the local pub which is within walking distance and lovely for a sundowner in the garden or good local pub grub. The beauty of Pendeen is that you’re never far from some of Cornwall’s best bits - grab an ice cream from the Moomaids Café in St Just square only 10 minutes away, or dine out in St Ives in less than 30 minutes or spend the day on the magical St Michaels Mount.
