  • "Beautiful Rural Cottage We Love It have been coming Faraway for 20 Years."

  • "The track from the big house down to Bostistow Farmhouse is very bumpy and big pot holes right down to Faraway."

    I understand you would spoil the effect of leading down to Faraway if it was tarmaced . if it was gravelled all the way down would be more easy on our cars.

  • "We had a lovely stay at Faraway and perfect get away retreat."

    Thoroughly enjoyed the quiet, views and peace. The cottage was very clean and cosy and the locals we met on walks extremely friendly. Beautiful area to explore. Our down side would be the unmaintained access land to get to the cottage. We live in Devon in the country( near the Moors) so we are no towny(!) but found the lane extremely difficult to navigate especially after a huge amount of rain, huge holes in land thick in mud. Our car is filthy and it felt like off roading! Maybe a bit of maintenance on this, filling in some of the holes would make it a little more appealing. Unfortunately for this reason alone we decided not to rebook. Other than that we were very happy with the cottage.

  • "The facilities at Faraway Cottage were excellent and the cottage was warm and very comfortable, the bathrooms are modern and there was plenty of hot water."

    The kitchen is well equipped and although there were a few small maintenance issues they were quickly fixed. We were delighted to be staying at Faraway Cottage and hope to return!

  • "We've just had the most amazing stay here, and really did feel Faraway from everything."

    What a beautiful cottage, we felt at home straight away. Watched to Nanjizal cove, to Land's End and the Headland. We both had our birthdays here, and it was perfect. Low tide and high tide both worth spending time at Nanjizal. Cottage perfect, sea views, roaring fire, warm and cozy even with wind howling outside, 2 named storms in our week, with a day of calm in the middle. Sadly Barbara Hepworth garden was closed, so we'll have to return! Enjoyed St Ives and the Dog Rabbit cave was great for vegans and vegetarians. We are renewed and refreshed and very happy. Thank you very much for everything, we loved it all. Nita and Tony

  • "We booked Faraway Cottage at the last minute and knew it was the right choice straight away."

    As Aristotle said "The whole is greater than the sum of all it's parts." From the Awe inspiring location with amazing views, to little touches of "Bloom soap". The open fire, bedding and towels, the warmth and coziness of the heating. The attentive staff and attention to details. All individually important but together as a whole it created an Awesome Oasis for the soul allowing us to recharge and regroup. Thank you all for this Magical Experience! Jon and Vanessa

The property

Surrounded by endless fields and hedgerows, this two-bedroom cottage is tucked away in its own little world, and offers stunning views over the Nanjizal Cove. Sun-kissed window seats, bold pops of colour, and cosy bedrooms to retreat to - you'll find all this and more inside this secluded cottage.

Just minutes away from the South West Coastal Path, this beautiful bolthole boasts breathtaking views over Nanjizal Cove from its private garden and is a short walk from the shore's rockpools and the Song of the Sea, a natural arch in the granite cliffs.

Inside, you'll find two sea-view bedrooms, a bathroom and shower room, and a living room with an inglenook fireplace and wood-burning stove.

St Aubyn Estates Cottages

This property is part of the St Aubyn Estates Cottages Collection. Each cottage is relaxed, comfortable, and has breathtaking views. Perched high above the sea or nestled in an untouched cove, you’ll find them dotted along the unspoilt and stunning coastline of far west Cornwall. We are based down in Porthgwarra Cove, running the picturesque little Café, and always on hand to offer activities, assistance, or just friendly local advice.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

PORTHGWARRA

Sennen 3 miles; Land's End 4.1 miles; Penzance 12 miles.

The parish of St Levan derives its name from the 4th Century saint who settled here. The ancient ruins of his Chapel can still be seen today above Church Cove, one of three beautiful and secluded beaches on this wild, unspoilt, and staggeringly beautiful peninsular, the most South Westerly point in the UK. Porthgwarra, the next beach along, sparkles at the end of a valley. You’ll find tunnels hewn into the cliffs, and the Porthgwarra Cove Café, along with the Guest Hub. It is the place to go for breakfast, lunch, ice cream, cakes, cream teas, pasties, helpful advice, and arranging holiday fun. Seals are endlessly dropping by. Continue over the clifftops and you arrive at Nanjizal, accessible only by foot and without a road in sight. At one end stands the stunning Zawn Pyg (‘Song of the Sea’) a natural rock arch that has captivated people for centuries. If the fancy took you to go on, then Sennen is around the corner. As well as being nestled in secluded coastal locations, our cottages are just a stone’s throw from some of Cornwall’s best-loved sights. Porthcurno and the Minack Theatre are within walking distance. St Michael’s Mount, St Ives, and many of the area’s best beaches are just a short drive away.
