The Experience

With roots possibly as old as a hermitage for the monks from St Michael’s Mount, these beautiful stone buildings blend seamlessly into the landscape. The Garden Cottage, originally the dairy, has an upstairs living room which you can also enter via outside steps. Along one wall is the newly-refurbished kitchen, a joy for cooks with all the kit you need. Two bedrooms are downstairs, both a good size and they share a bathroom with underfloor heating and a walk-in shower.

The generous welcome hamper includes a cream tea as well as fresh and local goods for breakfast – there’s often a chocolate treat too. On warmer days you’ll be out on your own terrace or finding a bench in the gorgeous gardens, cooling off in – or lying beside – the pool.

This is deep countryside, midway between the north and south coasts and just a quarter of an hour’s drive to either so pack up a picnic and head to lovely beaches. There are superb gardens to explore and much mining history to discover.

Reviews

When I arrived at Ennys I felt an immediate sense of calm. I can imagine staying here, swimming in the pool, watching the sun go down with a glass of fizz in the fields and looking out over the valley after a day on the nearby beaches, or walking for miles in the beautiful countryside.

A wonderful, tranquil place to escape from it all – yet close to some of Cornwall's best coastline, so a great base to explore from. The beautiful, tasteful and high quality accommodation was matched by the gorgeous garden. We loved all the homely touches, the eclectic selection of books and decorations, the welcome gifts and the super quality bedlinen. Karen and Nick have created a luxury home from home, with a warm welcome to match. We visited late in the season, so didn't get a chance to sample the pool but we hope to be back at some point as it looked incredibly inviting!

This was our second stay at Enny’s in a different cottage but was equally as brilliant as our first time. The cottages are perfect and the gardens and pool beautiful. Karen and Nick have created a sanctuary from which to explore this part of Cornwall - or to say in and rest, if so inclined. Their attention to detail; their warm and friendly welcome are second to none. Everything is done with a huge generosity of spirit, which makes for a very relaxing break - worth driving five or so hours for.


Yvonne, London

Ennys is wonderful oasis. Beautiful gardens and a stunning pool. Luxurious cottages with everything you might need including a delicious hamper of Cornish treats. Super comfortable beds with gorgeous bed linen and freshly picked flowers from the garden in every room. A perfect spot for hiking the South Coast path. We have visited a few times now and always look forward to our return.


I, London

We stayed at the Garden cottage in Aug 2023 and despite not being able to fully enjoy Ennys wonderful gardens and pool (bad weather) we still had lovely time. Garden Cottage is immaculate and beautifully appointed with quality furnishings, fixtures and fittings. Everything feels well thought out, wholesome and stylish. Karen and Nick are great hosts, friendly and helpful and really eager to make sure we had the best of time. Welcome hamper was a nice touch, filled with local and tasty treats; baked scones, jam, bread, eggs, bacon, sausages, etc. We'd happily return to stay at Ennys again.


Location

The neighbourhood

The roads around here are narrow and winding so the feeling is much more remote than it actually is. You're on the edge of a valley with the River Hayle and there are many footpaths to wander. Two good farm shops can be found in a 10-minute drive, Trevellyan and Trevaskis. Porthleven is about 8 miles away and has a really good choice of places to eat, as does Newlyn, just a mile further.

Local points of interest from Karen West

  • Visit St Michaels Mount at low tide. Walk the Causeway in the moonlight. Or join the South West Coastal path and explore the Tin Coast and Zennor for a more bracing walk
  • Swim at nearby romantic Prussia Cove with its secluded coves or the sandy beach of Perranuthnoe. Admire the dramatic scenery and the historic mining history of West Penwith. Learn to surf at Godrevy overlooking the lighthouse, or kitesurfing at Marazion
  • Within a few miles of Ennys, enjoy delicious dishes at The Gurnard's Head near Zennor, sip great wines at St Eia in St Ives or choose from a number of interesting places to eat in pretty Mousehole
  • Drive to Porthleven for a selection of pubs/ shops/galleries, cafes /restaurants including Kota, Kota Kai or Origin Coffee Roastery with its summer pop ups and growing reputation for great coffee, uber tasty food and delicious cocktails.
  • Take in a play and picnic at the world famous open-air Minack theatre. Tour the galleries of St Ives, including the Tate and Barbara Hepworth museum and don't forget to drop in at the Leach Pottery too while you are there.
  • Visit National Trust property Godolphin House, Glendurgan Gardens, Trengwainton Gardens and the Penrose Estate. The Lizard peninsula and famous Kynance Cove are a short drive away.

Introducing

Karen West

Karen and Nick moved to Cornwall having spent holidays here and gradually being drawn to the area. They initially lived near Truro before deciding to make West Cornwall their permanent home. They fell in love with Ennys at first sight and continue to develop and nurture it. This is a calming place to stay with a huge amount of history - do ask Karen and Nick about it.
