About this property
Situated in the quaint village of Illogan, near Redruth, Cornwall, lies this fabulous holiday home, Cinders Loft. Perfect for families or even sharing friends, this property makes terrific base for exploring Cornwall, and boasts an excellent position to nearby attractions and amenities. As you step inside, an open-plan living space offers everything you need for a self-catered stay. Cook up a storm in the well-equipped, fully-fitted kitchen before settling down to enjoy your meals around the dining table, or instead take a seat in the well-furnished rear garden if alfresco eating is more suited to what you fancy.

If you fancy exploring your surroundings, pay a visit to the Robartes Arms for some classic pub fare before taking a walk in Illogan Park. The coastal town of Falmouth is a short journey by car, home to Pendennis Castle and Pendennis Point, as well as the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, a perfect day out for history buffs. St Ives is a brief drive away, offering up popular attractions such as the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden and Tate St Ives for those cultured art enthusiasts, whilst the St Ives harbour serves as great location to grab some fish and chips whilst you soak in the beautiful, Cornish seaside. Further afield you will find Newquay, where the lush sands of Fistral Beach and Porth Beach can be thoroughly enjoyed on hot summer days, whilst the Newquay Zoo offers a day's worth of entertainment all year round. All of this and so much more awaits you during your stay at Cinders Loft, the perfect Cornish getaway.
A little village in Cornwall called Redruth has roots that go back as far as the 12th century. It is presently at the centre of a unesco World Heritage Site and was formerly the epicentre of Cornish mining history. There are several stores, bars, and restaurants, and the town hosts numerous continental markets all year long. The Great Flat Load, which is great for cyclists and dog walkers both, the Tolgus Tin Stream Works, and the Tehidy Country Park are attractions close to Redruth. Redruth is 2.5 miles, or 10 minutes, from the beach in Portreath. With places like St Ives, Falmouth, the Roseland Peninsula, and the entire Lizard Peninsula within easy reach, the entire magnificent North coast is a suburban paradise for surfing and other watersports. An excellent location for your Cornish vacation.

Convenience store within walking distance and supermarket 5.minutes drive away. The private enclosed garden is perfect for young and old alike and the outside shower is brilliant. Our 5 year old grandson made use of it every night! Would definitely stay here again. Many thanks.

Well situated for easy access to beaches and attractions but there are also footpaths beginning within a very short distance of the front door, which was ideal for our two doggies. The cottage is comfortable and cosy and contained everything we could have wished for. In fact we could have happily lived there forever! The outdoor shower (with temperature control) is a great boon both for muddy dogs and muddy footwear. There are dog-proof fences all round the garden which, in certain spots, is not overlooked by neighbours. We would certainly recommend this property to anyone and hope to return in the not too distant future!
