Built about 100 years ago and on the edge of a long wooded valley, all of which is National Trust land which contains St. Piran’s Well, St. Nectan’s Kieve, his spring, his washing place and a number of other wild and beautiful wooded spots, St. Yse Cottage has, over the last four years, been beautifully renovated and fitted out.

Backed by a steep hillside, facing south, and with terraces that go down the valley through bluebell woods to the stream, with gardens, play areas and sun traps. It also has clear views down Rocky Valley to the cliffs and sea near Tintagel. It is 1500 metres, as the crow flies (but further by car), from the very beautiful and sandy beach at Bossinney.

The house has three double bedrooms and an extra small room has a ‘make up’ bed, which can take a child. There is a large triple glazed sun room, slate floors, a modern kitchen, good bathrooms, three wood burning stoves, under floor heating and the interior was fitted out by a designer who works on both sides of the Atlantic.

This could be a comfortable retreat or a good family holiday base. It is so close to so many famous facilities but yet seems remote and hidden.

It does, however, have a fairly long drive, which is not tarmacked and is NOT suitable for low-slung cars.

Tintagel is famous for its cliffs, landscape, castle, facilities, romance and beauty. St. Yse Cottage is charming, simply and beautifully fitted out, comfortable, warm and both a wonderful retreat and a great holiday.
