The Experience

The cottage retains its granite barn feel with a large open plan dining and sitting room, a kitchen area with Everhot stove, a separate shower room downstairs and, up on the mezzanine floor, a very comfortable, light and airy bedroom. A wood-burner with unlimited logs, games to play and a TV mean dull weather days can still be fun. You’ll find everything you need in the kitchen and a very generous welcome hamper with a cream tea and your breakfast for the next morning.

Outdoors you have your own little patio and lawn which feel very private but explore further and you’ll find a shared barbecue area in the potager garden (with fresh produce for guests in season), greenhouse, orangery and pool. Stride out on lovely walks from the door, bring binoculars to watch many birds, hire bikes for days out with a picnic, find plenty of good places to eat.

Even though there are other holiday cottages there are plenty of private spaces to find in the pretty gardens.

Reviews

A really beautifully thought out and put-together studio cottage in the heart of the beautiful countryside, the extras like the pool add a touch of glamour and luxury. Everything has been thought of to provide a really low effort and comfy stay and when I visited I didn't want to leave!

Ennys exceeded expectations in every respect. The bonus was meeting Karen and Nick, the owners who are so welcoming. We hope that we will be blessed with the opportunity to return many times to this beautiful part of the world. The stay was so restorative and the elegance of Ennys is captivating.


Sandra, Antwerp

We've spend 10 days in Well cottage. What a lovely welcome we had. With a basket full of enjoyable things for breakfast and delicious scones! The cottage is very stylish decorated. The kitchen well equipped. With a little garden/patio, you really have enough privacy. The swimming pool with his loungers and Oriental inspired parasols are very welcome when the weather is nice. A stay here is highly recommended. Karen and Nick, thanks again. Sandra & Alain


Anthony, Llanfrechfa

The cottage was beautifully appointed with the highest quality fittings and furnishings. We could not have been made more welcome and I would recommend the property to anyone looking for a stay near Penzanze. Lovely gardens and pool. A word of caution. If you have a physical disability then do not book Well Cottage but otherwise what a lovely place to spend a relaxing few days (or more).


Jens, Hannover (Germany)

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Well Cottage, and the long journey from Germany was absolutely worth it. We were delighted by both the lovingly designed and high-quality interior, as well as the beautiful grounds with garden, pool, and meadows. The central but peaceful location in the southwest of Cornwall is perfect for day-trips. The two hosts, Karen and Nick, have created a wonderful place to relax and unwind.


Location

The neighbourhood

You're up a long farm track so the feel is very rural and quiet. Gwithian beach is a 10-minute drive, the South West Coast Path can be joined nearby for stunning walks in either direction. The nearest towns are Penzance, seven miles and Hayle, six miles. Both have beaches, restaurants and shops. St Ives is 10 miles for the Tate, Barbara Hepworth museum and sculpture garden, lots of places to eat.

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 the growing buzz in Penzance & eat at places like Barbican Bistro and 45 Queen Street. Further afield, the Gurnard's Head near Zennor is worth a trip or try out St Ives and sip great wines and tasty plates at St Eia
  • Drive to Porthleven for a selection of pubs/ shops/galleries, cafes /restaurants including Kota, Kota Kai, Origin Coffee Roastery, not forgetting the renowned Porthleven Food Festival in May
  • Book tickets for a play at the breathtaking open-air Minack theatre with its broad sweeping ocean views. 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.
