Lamorna Cottage


Between Penzance and Lands End, Rosemerrynwood nestles in the sheltered Lamorna Valley, a mile from the sea at Lamorna Cove.

Bed and Breakfast is offered in the main house, Rosemerryn, which is a former artist's residence, built at the turn of the twentieth century. Rosemerryn Cottage, separate from the main house, but within the grounds, and with its own private garden, is available as a self-catering holiday cottage.

Fogou in LarmonaBoth the house and cottage are set in seven acres of woodland, which they share with a two thousand year old man made cave or temple, the Boleigh Fogou. This was once part of an iron-age settlement; just one of numerous such Ancient Celtic Sites to be found in the far west of Cornwall.

Lamorna woodsHaving once been cultivated, part of the wood is graced with beautiful camellias and azaleas, and huge rhododendrons. Natural pathways, bordered by daffodils, bluebells and irises follow a stream that tumbles down through the valley to reach the sea at Lamorna Cove.

Off the beaten track, and yet close to both Penzance and St Ives, as well as some beautiful sandy beaches and coves, Rosemerrynwood and cottages offer the perfect holiday setting.
