Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday cottage in Sancreed - Dairy Cottage
2 bedrooms, sleeps 4, 1 bathroom, garden, rural location yet near the sea

This charming single-storey, spacious cottage has been tastefully converted from a traditional 18th century milking parlour. Situated down a narrow country lane with views overlooking fields, the cottage has a large, enclosed garden facing west and enjoys full sunshine all day. It has its own drive and plenty of off road parking. The interior of Dairy Cottage is furnished with both modern and antique furniture and the paintings are either from Penny's studio or by her friends. The sitting room has a cosy wood burner and French windows opening out onto a terrace with lovely views and the kitchen/diner is open plan with ample crockery and cooking equipment. The bedrooms and bathroom are large and stylish and the whole building has a Mediterranean atmosphere of space, warmth and tranquillity. A well-behaved dog is welcome.

Penny is a working artist and has her studio at Tregonebris where she paints and sells her work. Visitors are welcome to call in and browse.

About Penny Rumble

Simon and I came to Cornwall in 2008 and bought Tregonebris Old Farm as a series of derelict cattle sheds and an old dairy. We devoted two and a half years to the careful renovation of the buildings and the Old Dairy is now a successful and attractive holiday home. We wanted to give holiday makers a feeling of space and freedom so the cottage has large rooms and there is a huge field in front.

I am also a full time artist and my studio is in the converted piggery. Everyone is welcome to browse in the studio/gallery.

Simon and I live next door to Dairy Cottage and we love this tiny hamlet in West Penwith which is so quiet and rural and yet so close to the sea.

Penny Rumble purchased this cottage in 2008
Why Penny Rumble chose Sancreed

Both Dairy Cottage and our own farm building are listed. They were built in the 17th century of huge blocks of granite and are typical of the Cornish vernacular style. We needed plenty of heavy machinery to help us with the task of restoration and both properties have a tremendous atmosphere.

What makes this cottage unique

Dairy Cottage has great views across the fields and the surrounding farm land is home to many bullocks that graze the fields throughout the long summer months. There is a wild wood and dashing stream across the lane and one can step outside and walk to ancient sites such as a Stone Circle and an Iron Age village. The buildings are nestled in a valley and protected from the full force of the winds. We are four miles from the south, west and north coast so one could say - the area is almost an island!

Dairy Cottage is situated in the tiny hamlet of Tregonebris, an ancient settlement of only a few houses. It is part of the parish of Sancreed and lies in the heart of protected countryside designated as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Across the road are unspoilt bluebell woods where the bubbling stream forms the head of the Lamorna Valley. The cottage is also very close to one of Cornwall's finest stone circles:-Boscawen-un ,and the Iron Age village of Carn Euny is just a short walk uphill as it sits above the sheltered hamlet of Tregonebris.

Dairy Cottage is in the far west of Cornwall and is near every available coast. The magnificent surf beaches of Sennen on the north coast and the sheltered coves of Porthcurno and Mousehole on the south coast are within a few miles. The vibrant fishing port of Newlyn and the market towns of St Buryan, St Just and Penzance are within easy reach. Picturesque St Ives, famous for its community of artists is only a short drive away.

Great cottage in a peaceful setting

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 31 May 2012 Date of Stay: May 2012
We found Dairy cottage a very well equipped cottage, in a very peaceful location. The interior has been beautifully restored with great taste. The garden is private and ideal for dogs and children, safe and secure.We watched the sun go down with a glass of wine in the garden every night. The cottage is ideally located for all the surrounding attractions: Sennen Cove is a must with its wonderful beach and great dog friendly restaurant as is the Minack theatre, Penzance, Newlynn, which are all close by. We will be returning next year without a doubt.

Charming cottage in an ideal location

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 14 April 2012 Date of Stay: April 2012
Penny and Simon have converted this former dairy with love and in doing so provided an ideal retreat from the world. The cottage comes well equipped, is warm, cosy and dog friendly. Set within walking distance of ancient sites and a delightful blue bell wood this is the place to come to get away from it all. The fact that there is no mobile phone reception or internet adds to the wonderful feeling of letting go and just being - we are already planning our next visit.

Review Submitted: 18 August 2011 Date of Stay: July 2011
We really enjoyed our stay at Dairy Cottage, Sancreed. The cottage is beautiful and very well equipped, very clean and well maintained with ample parking and lovely gardens.
Set in the countryside there is plenty of wildlife close by - great for birdwatching. Dairy Cottage is not far from the A30 which means easy access to a wealth of attractions/locations as well as the town of Penzance. It is also lovely to just sit and relax in the peaceful surroundings of the garden after a busy day of sightseeing.

Simon and Penny's knowledge of the local area and coastline is vast including wonderful locations to visit and good pubs and restaurants.

Thank you Simon and Penny for a lovely holiday - can't wait to visit again.

August stay in Dairy Cottage

5 out of 5
Review Submitted: 17 August 2011 Date of Stay: August 2011
Dairy Cottage provided the perfect base for our family holiday this year. It is ideally situated for the many different beaches and coves, yet is only a short distance from Penzance. The cottage itself is gorgeous, comfortable and very well equipped. The view out over the surrounding countryside is lovely. Penny and Simon have done a great job and are genuinely nice people. The information pack in the cottage was comprehensive. We visited lovely Lamorna Cove, Porthcurno beach(park early), St Ives, Lands End, The Minack Theatre, Penzance for deep sea fishing on the Mermaid with Adrian (caught plenty), St Just, Cape Cornwall and surfed at Sennen. All these were located under 10 miles from the cottage.
We had a great week and will definitely be returning to Dairy Cottage at some point.

Review Submitted: 03 May 2011 Date of Stay: April 2011
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Dairy Cottage. The cottage is beautifully finished an is located in a stunning little hamlet. The hamlet - Tregonebris, boasts a great location, both close enough to the main road for access to all amenities,( including The town of Penzance and several gorgeous beaches ), but far enough away to enjoy all the peace and quiet you could want. The hosts, Penny and simon, couldn't have been more friendly, helpfull and accomodating, I would reccommend a stay at Dairy Cottage to anyone and everyone. Thanks so much to Penny and Simon, I had a great time and i cant wait to come back!
