Set in the heart of Cornwall’s rugged North Coast, Gwennel Nook is the perfect base for nature lovers, walkers, and those seeking a peaceful coastal retreat. Surrounded by wild beauty, it offers easy access to the stunning beaches of St Agnes—Trevaunance Cove, Chapel Porth, Trevellas Porth, and Porthtowan. These sandy, unspoiled spots are ideal for swimming, rock pooling, surfing, or simply relaxing with a picnic as the waves roll in.
The Southwest Coast Path runs nearby, offering breathtaking cliffside walks with panoramic sea views, historic mining landmarks, and wildflower-strewn heathland. Don’t miss St Agnes Head, a designated Dark Sky Discovery Site, perfect for stargazing on clear nights.

A short walk from here brings you to Wheal Coates, a beautifully preserved engine house perched above the sea, offering a glimpse into Cornwall’s rich mining heritage. Just four miles down the coast, Perranporth boasts three miles of golden sand, ideal for surfing, beach games, or even a horseback ride along the tide’s edge. Surf lessons and equipment hire are widely available, making it a popular spot for all abilities.
This is the perfect base to unwind and explore rugged Cornwall. Please note, there is quite a big step to enter the property, from quite a narrow alleyway. The property may not be best suited to those with very limited mobilit
