A delightful 19th Century semi-detached cottage near Chapel Porth beach, ten minutes' walk to St. Agnes village. Sleeps four guests, with one super king bedroom and one twin bedroom.
This delightful early 19th century semi-detached cottage has been sensitively and stylishly renovated to retain its Cornish character and charm. With beamed ceilings and a wood burner in the sitting room, Pen Mor is a cosy and comfortable cottage throughout the year.

Cutlure and History
St Agnes got its name from the legend of the Bolster giant. He fell in love with local girl Agnes who eventually managed to rid the village of Bolster’s tyranny, the story of which is re-enacted each May in a village pageant. The local landscape shows the mining legacy of the area, and is recognised as both a World Heritage Site, and an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

What our
Guests say
Pen mor cottage is in a brilliant location and if you love st Agnes like we do then it’s perfect. The floor space downstairs is very comfortable for 4 people. The log burner is very effective. It is a cosy space. We managed well cooking Christmas dinner in the kitchen. It could do with another coffee table for playing games infront of fire though.
Upstairs the large double room is spacious and comfy but the second room very compact for 2 adults and only one bedside light. It’s not easy to work out if there is enough water for 4 peoples showers every day or indeed how to boost this with storage heaters. Overall we liked the cottage and beautiful views out of the back.
Mrs Rolls
A very comfortable, well equipped cottage only a short walk from the centre of St Agnes. The first stretch of road has no pavement so care needs to be taken. The stairs are steep and this is clear from the cottage information.
It is a lovely area and St Agnes is a great village.The local museum is interesting to visit.
Mr Nash
The cottage was lovely, just as we had hoped it would be, very clean and well equipped.
St Agnes is a beautiful place to stay and we could not fault the team at Aspects holidays. We’ve already booked a place in St Ives with Aspects, for next year as we need a bigger place for extended family, but we hope to be back at Pen Mor this winter
