This is one of our favourite places to visit. It is great pub with a floating pontoon out on the water. In the summer there is no better place to go for a lovely big bowl of mussels and a cider. Their sandwiches are amazing. Their menu is great and if it's not such a nice day it is equally lovely to sit inside. Getting there by car may be a little daunting if you aren't used to our narrow roads but it is totally worth it. Alternatively hire a kayak in St Mawes and kayak there if you have the energy!

Pendower beach is less that 10 minutes drive from the hut. Go back on the main road past the Portscatho turning. Before you get to Ruan High Lanes there is a turning on the right for the beach. There is free parking. The beach is quite large and is popular with us locals for walking on a Sunday morning. You can find all sorts in the rock pools including star fish and hermit crabs.

This is a lovely secret beach on the road out to St Anthony Head. There is a chargeable National Trust car park and a winding path down to what feels like a Caribbean beach. Seals can be spotted chilling on the sand (please do not approach them). There is also a lovely coffee/cake stop (currently in a van) but soon to be in the old building over the road from the car park. Most definitely worth a stop for a nice coffee and cake.

Only a five minute drive away or a nice hour walk along the waters edge from the hut. A small fishing village nestled at the end of the Roseland peninsula. St Mawes is a lovely place to visit and an even better place to live with a strong community spirit. Surrounded by the sea and gentle hills, St Mawes is quite spectacular!

Narrow streets and steep valley sides lead down to the centre of the old Mevagissey where the distinctive twin harbour provides a safe haven for the many fishing boats that land their daily catch of skate, lobster, plaice and sole. In typical picture postcard style, pubs, cafes, galleries and shops cluster around the harbour walls and line the pretty streets. Named after two Irish saints, St Meva and St Issey, the village dates back to at least 1313 and during the 1800s Mevagissey prospered on the back of the abundant source of pilchards out to sea. Around the maze of streets you’ll find plenty of seafood restaurants that the village is renowned for and there is nothing more sublimely Cornish than tucking into some local scallops and mackerel and ending the evening with a walk along the harbour wall with lights of the village twinkling on the water. Things to do in Mevagissey Learn all about the history of the village at the Mevagissey Museum on the harbour. Stacked to the gunwales with memorabilia and local artefacts, the museum brings the history of the village to life Experience Mevagissey Feast Week - a wonderful festival, though to be the longest surviving in Cornwall, with a blend of traditional and contemporary events which bring the community and visitors together to share in the celebrations. Mevagissey Aquarium is full of fascinating marine life and is situated on the West side of the harbour At Mevagissey Model Railway any child is going to be fascinated by the dozens of trains whizzing past tiny houses and people set against a detailed backdrop. There’s an alpine scene, a harbour and Cornish tin mine and a Junior Junction layout featuring all the kids’ railways favourites. They can even have ago at operating some of the larger trains themselves The Lost Gardens of Heligan once billed as the ‘Sleeping Beauty’ of horticulture, underwent its famous restoration after decades of neglect and now brims with an amazing array of sub- tropical flowers, trees and plants Swim at Gorran Haven beach a few miles from the village. One of the attractive and safest places to plunge into the water, the beach here is secluded below high cliffs and shelters in a narrow gorge that heads down from the lush south coast countryside Cycle or walk on the Pentewan trail through to St Austell. An easy-going 5 mile round trip from the beach at Pentewan to the village of London Apprentice and back. The trail runs along the bed of an old narrow gauge railway which once took clay and tin ore to the harbour at Pentewan until it silted up and the railway ceased operation in 1916. Bikes can be hired at Pentewan Polmassick Vineyard was the first to be planted in Cornwall over 30 years ago and today its well established vines produce consistently good vintages.

St Just Veg Stall

If you are looking for some veg to cook up in the hut or to take home with you then our village veg stall is worth a visit. It sells the freshest veg picked from the field behind. It works on an honesty box system. You can walk there from the hut across the fields behind following the footpath that goes through the garden and up over the fields. It will take about 10 minutes. Alternatively the drive will take about 2minutes. Drive out of the village towards Truro and the veg stall is on the left.
