The details
Higher Trowan is a single-storey cottage built in traditional Cornish style that sleeps four. With its designer amenities and decor and its balanced colour scheme, the property has an air of stately, yet humble, elegance. This all works to complement the views from within the property, too; from both inside the cottage and the private garden, Higher Trowan provides snapshots of both local farmland and the gorgeous Cornish coast.
The property also offers guests access to a beautiful, quaint private garden and patio, both of which are the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful Cornish weather with some privacy. Outdoors, you'll also find a BBQ; ideal for guests who enjoy dining al fresco.
Accommodating parties of up to four, with a king size and twin bedroom, Higher Trowan is perhaps best suited for smaller family retreats or couples looking to spend some quality time on the Cornish coast. The property is ideal for self-catering, with an extensive, fully-equipped kitchen available onsite, as well as outdoor cooking facilities. Higher Trowan's open-plan kitchen and living area gives the cottage a sense of flow and openness and makes entertaining feel like second nature.
Higher Trowan's luxury bathroom is sumptuous, too, replete with a rainforest showerhead, roll-top bath and heated tower rail. And, if you find yourself feeling chilly, you can enjoy the rustic warmth that the cottage's woodburner provides.
While the cottage is located in a quiet tract of rural land, guests are only a short walk away from the bustling town of St. Ives. In this sense, Higher Trowan offers guests the best of both worlds; when you've had your fill of relaxing and enjoying the amenities on offer, you can simply make your way into St. Ives to sample some of the local Cornish art scene, as well as ample independent shops, restaurants and cafes.
As if that wasn't enough, St. Ives is also a hub for exploring Cornwall's coast. The town boasts some of the region's finest surf beaches, including easy access to the renowned Porthmeor Beach. Animal enthusiasts may want to visit Seal Island from St Ives; accessible via boat, the island is home to a significant colony of Atlantic grey seals.

Loved Higher Trowan :) It had the remoteness we were looking for but with the reassurance there were neighbours in reality ;) So close to St Ives and easy access to Penzance and everything west. The property is well appointed, friendly and welcoming. We did not come across anything we needed that wasn't provided. Good communication with Sam and the team. One wee point... it is a walk from the communal car park to the property on gravel with luggage (and we had luggage for a month away, first ten days at Higher Trowan. At previous similar properties there has been ball wheel wheelbarrows to men that task easier... just an idea.
