About this property

The Snug - Beautiful Grade 2 listed barn conversion

  • Set on the beautiful, unspoilt Cornish coast in the grounds of Penwarne Manor is a collection of lovingly converted barns. The Snug is one of five, Grade II listed stone cottages, renovated to a high standard.

    Penwarne Manor nestles, secluded in the Portmellon valley and yet less than a mile from Mevagissey. An historic fishing village with plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants.

    It's just a 10 minute walk to the beach at Portmellon with the newly renovated Rising Sun pub, coffee shack and paddle board and kayak hire shop.

    Close to The Lost Gardens of Heligan, and The Eden Project. You can get the ferry to Fowey and hopefully spot some dolphins, drive along the Roseland Peninsular and visit the many beaches along the way. The North Coast is only a short drive away if you fancy trying surfing.

A gorgeous property in an extremely beautiful area. The living area is very spacious and both bedrooms are very comfortable. The track down to the property is a little bumpy and rough but of course it is a country lane! Vicky and Nathan provided some lovely touches and were very helpful with queries regarding local taxis etc. Would highly recommend and would love to return!

I was looking for a peaceful break in a pretty place where I could do plenty of walking. The Snug was perfect for me; it was in a lovely location - very quiet but not totally isolated (important as I was travelling solo), was very clean and had everything I needed. I generally drove from the property to my chosen walking locations - and this area of Cornwall (new to me) does not disappoint. Vicky and Nathan were perfect hosts - there if needed but not intrusive. They were really lovely and helpful and provided some delicious lemon drizzle for me on arrival!. They also very kindly got me some essential groceries as I had arrived quite late - very much appreciated:) The only point I would mention is that due to the significant rainfall in the weeks prior parts of the long driveway may now be a bit difficult to navigate in a car that sits very close to the ground - though this may now have been rectified. I had an amazing time and would thoroughly recommend The Snug. Thank you so much to both of you for a fabulous stay.
