A collection of granite homes, barn conversions and farmhouses, surrounded by fields. There is a path to St Ives that takes around 30 minutes, partly along the coastal path. The nearest shops are a 5 minute drive to a Coop in St Ives or 10 minutes to Tesco (St Ives town centre is closer). The nearest pubs would be The Halsetown Inn and The Tinners Arms at Zennor. Lots and lots of places to eat in St Ives! Trowan is a rural destination. The nearest bus stop is a good mile away. Best to arrive here by car or by bike has been known to. Trowan Lane is quite narrow and has some grass growing up the middle of the lane, usually lower in summer. The property is on a private drainage system and restrictions on what goes down the drains apply. The rural location of Trowan means the water is serviced privately via a borehole to the hamlet. In rare instances the supply can be disrupted, a maintenance contract is in place to rectify issues as soon possible. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the cottage: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 538 square feet ## Similar properties ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69370000/69366500/69366441/8b092f5a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### WOODLAND RETREAT - Summer school holiday dates still available.

Lovely any time of year and a cosy retreat from the (sometimes) wild weather of late October. Ocean Holidays were really helpful and we really appreciated their flexibility with regard to arranging an extension and to the departure time. ##### Rob V.
