Self-catering Cottage and Bed & Breakfast
Lamorna Cove - Cornwall
Pretty, secluded cottage
Sleeping 4/6
Set in 7 acres of private woodland
A mile from the beautiful Lamorna Cove
Many Sandy beaches nearby
Iron-age Boleigh Fogou
Rosemerryn Cottage is set in the grounds of Rosemerryn, a former artists residence, built at the turn of the twentieth century.
It shares its seven acres of woodland with a two thousand year old man made cave or temple, the Boleigh Fogou, which 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.
Natural pathways run through the wood, which is bordered by a stream that tumbles down through the valley to reach the sea at Lamorna Cove.
ACCOMMODATION
Standing in its own secluded garden, bordered by woodland, Rosemerryn Cottage comprises;
- one double bedroom
- one twin bedded room
- a lounge with open fire
- a kitchen-dining room
- bathroom, with bath and shower
There is a comfortable sofa-bed in the lounge, and an extra bed or cot can be added to either of the bedrooms if required.
The cottage is equipped with a washing machine and central heating, and all heating and electricity costs are included in the price.
Although the cottage has its own garden, guests are welcome to wander through all of Rosemerryn's gardens and woodland, and of course to visit the Fogou.
A well-worn path through the wood provides a short cut to the local pub, The Lamorna Wink, and to the cove, where at low tide there is a small harbour beach. Here you can simply enjoy a coffee and watch the divers heading off to explore the mysteries of the deep, or take the coast path; east to the picturesque harbour village of Mousehole, or west to the tiny fishing cove at Penberth.
Boleigh Fogou
The Boleigh Fogou is considered to be one of the best remaining monuments of its kind in Cornwall. Found to be part of an iron-age site, this man made underground cave has survived pretty well intact for 2000 years. The word 'fogou' is derived from the Cornish word for cave - fogo - and indeed these fantastic constructions do not occur anywhere else in England. There is much debate about the original purpose of the fogou. Some believe they were ancient grain stores, others housing for cattle; but many people believe that the fogou contributed far more to the spiritual rather than the practical life of the community it served. It is thought that birth and death rituals were carried out in the fogou and that it was used for initiation and spiritual ceremonies. Now many people visit the fogou to experience for themselves the tremendous power it seems to hold, and feel the presence of the previous inhabitants of this ancient land.

Bed and Breakfast is offered at the main house, Rosemerryn, in large airy rooms filled with light and warmth. The double room offers a king size bed and en suite facilities, the triple room offers a king size, and a single bed, and has a private shower and toilet. Both rooms are south facing and overlook the garden. An extra bed or cot can be added to either room if required.
Breakfast consists of fresh fruit salad, yogurt, fruit juice, cereals, homemade bread and scones, croissants, tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and is served in a beautiful lounge, which was originally the artist's studio. Tea and coffee making facilities are available here throughout the day and evening for guests to help themselves as they please, and on chillier evenings you can relax here in front of a roaring, log burning stove.
Adjacent to the lounge is the conservatory, also equipped for relaxing, and from where you can make your way out into the gardens and woodland, and to the fogou. Having once been cultivated, part of the wood is graced with beautiful camellias and azaleas, and huge rhododendrons. There are well worn paths to follow through the woods, many made by badgers and foxes, down to the stream that tumbles down through the valley to reach the sea at Lamorna Cove.
