CARN VIEW, CAPE CORNWALL

Overlooking the Carn's rugged moorland and with sea glimpses of the Atlantic ocean this stylish and cosy reverse level retreat is set on the outskirts of St Just and is a short walk from the sea and coast path. Carn View is the perfect base for a small family and couples to enjoy west Cornwall with stunning views and sunsets which can be enjoyed from the balcony. At any time of the year Carn View is comfortable and welcoming with everything you need nearby. Walkers will love it here with the coastal footpath moments away and if you enjoy a swim, Priest Cove has a man-made tidal pool, which is accessible at low tide. This little rocky cove sits just below Cape Cornwall and has a pebbly beach with a slipway for the small fishing boats that work from here. 

Carn View offers reverse level accommodation and you enter straight into the ground floor hallway where you will find two bedrooms both with en suite shower rooms. Bedroom one is a double (with one side against the wall) and bedroom two has two single beds (which are perfect for our younger guests). Take the carpeted stairs up to the open plan living area, where you will find a well equipped kitchen, sweet dining area and two sofas to snuggle up on. Patio doors lead onto the balcony where you have a little bistro table and two chairs. Why not enjoy an aperitif with your favourite person watching the sunset over the carn- pure bliss!

A real retreat with a garden and private parking Carn View is a great base where you can leave the car parked and enjoy so much from the doorstep

Carn View is tucked away in the little hamlet of Boswedden, blink and you may miss this cluster of houses as you drive down the windy road towards the Cape. Peaceful and quiet yet only five minutes from St Just and the delights it has to offer! You arrive via a narrow little track taking you past several houses as you drive into your gravelled parking space. Unload and take the path to the front door.

The nearby town of St Just is a friendly place that feels lost in time with a good selection of local shops, a deli, butcher, three pubs and a small local supermarket for your everyday needs. Sennen with its glorious surfing beach is a short drive away and Portheras, a hidden and stunning locals cove is only ten minutes’ drive past Pendeen travelling east. Travelling back within twenty minutes you can be in Marazion with its fabulous beach overlooking the famous St Michael's Mount, St Ives, Mousehole or Penzance.

WHAT GUESTS ARE SAYING...

“A beautiful place to stay, in a fantastic location for accessing Cape Cornwall and nearby St Just on foot. The cottage was clean, cosy and very well kitted out with a washer dryer, outside space, BBQ, and a fully equipped kitchen. Instructions were all extremely clear and helpful. Would definitely stay again!”

Kerry – September 2024 

“Our family have just returned from a wonderful stay at Carn View. We were lucky enough to be the first guests to stay here so everything was immaculately presented and clean. The location is perfect to explore stunning Cape Cornwall and the village of St Just. We spent time on the beach at Sennen, took a train from St Erth to St Ives which we would recommend if you are wanting to visit St Ives. We visited Lands End and Penzance, exploring St Michaels Mount and Jubilee pool and visited beautiful Mousehole. Carn View is the perfect location to visit many wonderful places. We would 100% recommend staying here, you will not be disappointed. Thank you to Seb and his team for the service provided, you were all so helpful. We hope to return again soon!”
