# The Dairy Shed, Gwennap - Your Perfect Cornish Escape

Welcome to The Dairy Shed - a charming stone cottage nestled in the historic mining village of Gwennap in Cornwall's captivating countryside. This lovingly converted former dairy offers the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort for your holiday retreat.

## A Cosy Haven in Cornwall's Heart

Step into this characterful cottage where original features harmonise with contemporary amenities. The beautifully appointed living space welcomes you with exposed wooden beams, a comfortable lounge area, and a wood-burning stove – perfect for those cooler Cornish evenings. The well-equipped kitchen features everything needed to prepare delicious meals using local Cornish produce, while the dining area provides a wonderful setting for memorable holiday gatherings.

Upstairs, two tastefully decorated bedrooms offer peaceful sanctuaries for rest, with sumptuous bedding and country views. The stylish bathroom boasts both a rainfall shower and a deep tub for long, luxurious soaks after days exploring Cornwall's treasures.

## Perfectly Positioned for Exploration

The Dairy Shed occupies an enviable position in the picturesque parish of Gwennap, an area steeped in Cornwall's rich mining heritage. Within minutes, you can explore the Gwennap Pit, an extraordinary amphitheatre where John Wesley once preached to thousands, now a fascinating historical landmark.

Our central Cornwall location provides unparalleled access to both coastlines. The rugged north coast beaches of St Agnes and Perranporth are just a 20-minute drive away, while the gentler southern shores around Falmouth can be reached in similar time. The vibrant city of Truro, with its magnificent cathedral, boutique shops and fantastic restaurants, lies just 5 miles from your doorstep.

For walking enthusiasts, the nearby Great Flat Lode trail offers spectacular views across the mining landscape, recognised as part of the Cornwall and West Devon Mining Landscape World Heritage Site. Nature lovers will appreciate the short distance to Bissoe Valley Nature Reserve, a haven for wildlife along a former mining tramway.

## Local Treasures

The nearby village of Lanner provides excellent amenities including a well-stocked shop, a traditional pub serving hearty Cornish fare, and a friendly café. For a broader selection, the historic mining town of Redruth is just a short drive away, offering supermarkets, independent shops, and a glimpse into Cornwall's industrial past.

Food lovers will be delighted by the proximity to Cornwall's renowned food scene. From fresh seafood at Falmouth's harbour restaurants to traditional Cornish pasties in local bakeries, culinary delights abound.

## Your Home Away From Home

The Dairy Shed welcomes you with thoughtful touches – a complimentary welcome hamper filled with Cornish treats, cosy underfloor heating throughout, and a private garden perfect for morning coffees or evening glasses of wine under star-filled skies.

Whether seeking a romantic retreat, a family adventure, or a peaceful base to explore Cornwall's diverse attractions, The Dairy Shed offers the quintessential Cornish holiday experience.
