Crotchet Cottage

Nestled in the heart of Cornwall's Roseland is Crotchet Cottage, a double fronted cottage at the end of an attractive row of mixed thatched and slate roofed dwellings adjacent to a working farm.

Crotchet Cottage is located in the pretty rural hamlet of Bohortha which is just a few minutes walk from the dog friendly, sandy beach at Porthbeor (almost at the tip of St Anthony's Head).  Currently, Porthbeor beach is not accessible due to landslides rendering the cliffs unstable however, Towan beach (a relatively secluded shingle and sand beach) is just a short drive away or better still, accessed via a stunning walk across the cliffs.

Owned by the National Trust, this dog friendly beach has a car park and easy access by a sloping path.  Just remember to bring your National Trust membership cards with you to park free of charge.

The nearby village of Gerrans is just a couple of miles away and has a super pub and most famously, its ancient church, St Gerrans.

The local area to Crotchet Cottage has lovely coastal and rural walks with the pretty coastal fishing village, Portscatho just 3 miles from Crotchet.  Portscatho has a selection (some may be seasonal) of pubs, cafes and shops to cater for your holiday needs as well as a beach (part rock and sand).  The walk to Portscatho over the cliffs is a great way to work up an appetite and the Plume of Feathers pub in Portscatho is a firm favourite with walkers. A little further beyond Portscatho is the famous Hidden Hut cafe.

St Mawes is a short 7 mile drive from Crotchet Cottage and is well worth a visit.  From St Mawes you can catch the foot ferry across to Falmouth. The ferry operates all year round with frequent crossing to and from St Mawes to Falmouth.
