WHEAL ROSE, MORVAH

Set in the peaceful hamlet of Morvah, Wheal Rose is a stylish coastal cottage designed for relaxed escapes in West Cornwall. Sleeping up to eight lucky guests (six adults and two children) , this dog-friendly retreat combines sea views, nearby hidden beaches, and access to some of Cornwall’s most breath-taking coastal scenery — perfect for family getaways, lazy beach days, and coastal walking holidays.

LOCATION

One of Cornwall’s last truly unspoilt local beaches Portheras Cove is very close by. This hidden cove is beloved for its golden sand, rugged cliffs and wonderfully wild atmosphere. Keep an eye on the shoreline and bobbing waves — seals are frequent visitors here — and four-legged companions are welcome too! 

Head east and discover one of the country’s most dramatic and untouched stretches of coastline, winding towards Zennor and the artistic haven of St Ives, with sweeping sea views, heather-covered cliffs and hidden coves along the way. Turn west and the landscape becomes steeped in Cornwall’s rich mining heritage, leading you through atmospheric engine house scenery towards St Just, Sennen and the iconic beauty of Land’s End.

LIVING

Wheal Rose blends relaxed coastal elegance with thoughtful design and quiet luxury. The spacious sitting room centres around a crackling wood burner, with deep, inviting sofas made for slow evenings after days spent exploring the coastline. A cosy snug area is at the far end of this room which creates an additional retreat for watching TV (the TV has a firestick)  reading, or just quiet conversation. One of the cottage’s two separate wooden staircases rises from the living space, adding to its character and gentle sense of flow.

COOKING & EATING

At the heart of the home, the light-filled kitchen and dining space is designed for gathering. Fully equipped for long, leisurely meals, with a rangemaster oven and an induction hob the stone floor has under floor heating and a large farmhouse dining table which easily seats eight. At breakfast, lunch and dinner you have stunning views across the ancient walled fields to the Atlantic and the lighthouse at Pendeen and you may also see cattle grazing in the fields. A second wooden staircase leads from the kitchen, creating a charming and slightly unexpected layout that gives the cottage both practicality and a wonderfully unique personality
