Halsetown is a beautifully located village on the South West coast with an intriguing recent history. By booking a holiday cottage in this picturesque part of the world, you’re guaranteed a coastline and countryside at its finest, as well as a special slice of traditional Cornish life.
Nestled in a perfect location that’s just two miles away from surfing seaside town St Ives, Halsetown was a village built for housing miners in the early 19th century by James Halse, a former Member of Parliament for the nearby popular tourist hotspot. However, now it’s more well known for its abundance of scenic walks such as the 5km rambling route on the South West coastal path from Lamorna, renowned for its rocky little cove that’s still used for fishing over to Mousehole, a peaceful village with character and charm coming out of its ears. An ideal day out for eager strollers and dog lovers!
The peace and tranquillity of outside can certainly be felt inside your traditional tin miner’s cottage. With beamed ceilings and a natural stone slate fireplace that can be turned on after a day of exploring the local area, you will undoubtedly feel at one with Mother Nature throughout your trip. Want to carry on appreciating the sensational Halsetown scenery? Wake up refreshed from the perfect night’s sleep in your comfy double bed and hear the weird and wonderful wildlife calling to each other outside of your window before making your way down to prepare a breakfast fit for a king in your fully furnished kitchen. If the weathers cracking the flags, why not dine al fresco at a picnic table in your large garden? Now that’s definitely food for thought when starting your day in this tiny corner of paradise!
