Here at Morvah in Far West Cornwall you will find Wheal Rose – a beautifully re-furbished detached farmhouse with stunning views over the Atlantic to the lighthouse at Pendeen Watch.

Wheal Rose is situated in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty on a quiet lane 15 minutes walk to Portheras Cove – a lovely sandy cove and one of the last remaining truly local Cornish beaches. Seals are a common sight here and dogs are permitted on the beach. On your walk to the beach you join the South West Coastal Path which takes you eastwards towards Zennor and St Ives on one of the wildest and most beautiful stretches of coast in the country. To the west the path passes through historic mining scenery to St. Just, Sennen and Lands End.

We feel fortunate to own such a historic and unique house and hope that you will enjoy the mix of antique and comfortable contemporary furniture with art and photography by local Cornish artists.  On arrival you will find a cream tea with homemade scones, freshly cut flowers and a bottle of pleasant red wine. At Wheal Rose you can wander to the beach, walk the Coastal Path in either direction, explore the historic tin mines, discover the local ancient stones and monuments, surf at Sennen, spend an evening at the open-air Minack Theatre, simply relax with a book in the garden or cook a meal in the well equipped kitchen – Jamie Oliver recipes provided!

In land, Morvah Schoolhouse Tearoom and Art Gallery is a quarter of a mile walk across the fields along the footpath opposite the house.  Historic Penzance, with Newlyn harbour and the Newlyn Gallery, is six miles and St. Ives, with The Barbara Hepworth Garden, Tate St Ives, wonderful restaurants, galleries and shops all surrounding its pretty harbour, is ten miles.  There are two pubs within two miles and a shop within a mile and a renowned gastropub – The Gurnard's Head - within four miles.

Many of our guests come back time and again to relax and enjoy the spectacular beauty of this the real, undiluted, Cornwall.
