Morvah - St Ives - Lands End

On the winding coast road from St Ives to St Just Keigwin Farmhouse sits among gardens facing the broad Atlantic near the small village of Morvah.

Around 300 years old, the house is on the site of much earlier dwellings and moorland which was farmed by our stone-age and iron-age ancestors. Their hedges of stone still surround the acre fields here and there are many fascinating ancient stone circles, quoits and burial mounds in the vicinity.

ACCOMMODATION

The farmhouse is warm and comfortable with much-loved and much-used Welsh country furniture inherited from Gilly's forbears in many of the rooms.

There are two double bedrooms and one single, furnished simply with old wood or iron bedsteads, new mattresses and organic white bedlinen.

Downstairs the small sitting room (a typical farm parlour!) is exclusively for the use of guests whenever they wish. Here there is a piano, open fire and small television, as well as many books to dip into.

Breakfasts are generous, with organic and home-made food wherever possible.

The household is vegetarian, but bacon is on offer if required (and given notice to procure it!) Gilly greets guests with a tea of home-made scones or cake on arrival. Fresh herbs and vegetables come from her organic potager and eggs from her ducks and neighbour's hens. Packed lunches can be supplied if requested in advance.

LOCATION

There are good places to eat nearby, memorably the Gurnard's Head along the road to Zennor (which Gilly supplies with saladings!) St Ives is a few miles further on, full of interesting restaurants and galleries and beaches. The nearest beach however, Portheras Cove, is a mere walk away from Keigwin, as is the South West Coast Path, which can take you to St Just and Land's End.
