St Corantyn Cottage, sleeping four, is an exquisite holiday cottage set in the tranquillity and seclusion of the magnificent Bonython Estate. The cottage is beautifully furnished, earning a 5-star rating from the Cornish Tourist Board.
Guests can enjoy the tranquillity of the beautiful and renowned Bonython Estate Gardens beyond the cottage's own courtyards.
Situated six miles south of Helston, St Corantyn Cottage is close to the magnificent beaches and coves of The Lizard Peninsula. Eight minutes' drive brings you down to Poldhu Cove and the wonderful coastal paths.
St Corantyn Cottage has been updated and sympathetically improved in the last three years. Now comprising two bedrooms, each with a spacious separate dressing area and with a bathroom en suite for one and a shower room for the other, all the accommodation is on ground level. A large living/dining area with working wood burning stove, opening onto a well equipped kitchen completes the accommodation.
Decorated with restful style and taste, this most comfortable accommodation for one or two couples is completely private and surrounded by a walled courtyard on the southern side, a veritable sun trap complete with sun-loungers. Private parking is accessed from the Estate road and car spaces, adjacent to the entrance are a short distance from the front door, through an enclosed lawn garden. A wonderful space for a barbecue.

The Location:
Guests at St Corantyn Cottage can enjoy the tranquillity of the beautiful and renowned Bonython Estate Gardens beyond the exclusive privacy of their own courtyard gardens. Rated as one of the ‘Great Gardens of Cornwall', the gardens comprise 20 acres and offer excitement and surprises, with colour and interest in all seasons. Remodelled in recent years to include a contemporary water feature behind the delightful Georgian house, stroll through an eighteenth century Walled Garden, a traditional Potager Garden and an orchard of Cornish variety apple trees, on through parkland to a series of three small lakes, each with different atmosphere and planting with a stream cascade in a sheltered valley.
Bonython is a traditional, mixed agricultural Cornish estate with the 18th century Manor, farm and woodland stretching almost from one side of the peninsula (the Helford River) to the other (the beach at Poldhu Cove) with each shore just over a mile away.
For those who want to explore further, the magic of The Lizard Peninsula is close by with world-renowned beaches such as Kynance Cove and Kennack Sands, coastal paths, historic coves and numerous fishing villages such as Mullion, Coverack and Cadgwith. Mullion (2 miles), the largest village on the Lizard, is famous for Cornish crab and lobsters. Its many amenities include shops, convenience stores, inns, cafes and restaurants, craft shops and art galleries. The nearest supermarkets are in Helston (5 miles distant) - there is Sainsbury, Tesco and Lidl.
