1 Bedroom Cottage in Helford Passage, St Keverne

Little Trembraze was built in 1840 as a mill workers’ cottage, and has been recently renovated. With its log burner and air source heating, it's wonderfully warm and cosy in the autumn and winter months. In the summer, it's been described as a tropical paradise, due to the profusion of colourful wild flowers, gunnera and banana trees(!) in the private garden. Perfect for walkers and wildlife watchers, it offers a get-away-from-it-all experience. It has its own entrance and parking area, and no other properties in sight. Just one mile from the sea and SW Coast Path, and 0.5 miles from the traditional Cornish village of St Keverne.
Wildlife
This rural idyll is a haven for wildlife – you're likely to see fox, badger, stoat, rabbit, pheasant and deer from the cottage. You'll also see and hear many different species of birds, including song thrush, woodpecker, tawny and barn owls. From the beaches and coast path, look out for seals, basking sharks and dolphins. (Bring binoculars!)
Walking
This part of the Lizard peninsula is criss-crossed with public footpaths and bridleways that go on for miles, and it's easy to plan circular routes. There are many places close by where you can join the SW Coast Path.
Local beauty spots
The stunning Helford River, and Frenchman's Creek, full of yachts, sailing boats, Cornish fishers and cove boats, is just a few miles from Little Trembraze. Bordering this are many beautiful walks through National Trust land, including the historic Tremayne Quay. A few miles in the other direction you'll find the tiny valley of Poltesco, with the remains of the ancient serpentine stone works in the cove. Lizard Point, the UK's most southerly point and home to the rare Cornish chough (red-legged bird), is another few miles on.
Year-round appeal
Little Trembraze is a wonderful place to stay at any time of the year. There is a wood chip area with a log seat on one side of the cottage, next to the wildflower garden. Plus a slate terrace in front of the cottage, with a huge piece of granite which we found inside(!) the cottage during renovation, now used as a seat. There's also a wooden table and chairs in this area. This enables you to catch the sun at different times of the day.
For when the weather is not so great, we've made inside the cottage as cosy as possible. There's a really comfy Parker Knoll sofa, a log burner (we'll give you enough wood for your first fire, but you have to purchase thereafter), and air source heating upstairs and down. The latter is supremely efficient in terms of heat production and eco-friendliness.
The local village
St Keverne is small, but has two pubs, a paper shop, post office and general store, a butcher's and a small but fantastic restaurant, The Greenhouse – booking essential!
Fat Apples cafe, in nearby Porthallow and close to the beach, is a delightful wholefood cafe with vegan options, and outside seating.
Gear Farm, in St Martin, 4 miles away, sells lots of lush local produce including game in season.
The nearest town is Helston, 10 miles away. Falmouth is 18 miles away. There is a bus service.

The bedroom can be set up with a kingsize bed, or two singles.
We do not have wi fi or internet at Little Trembraze. There is scanty mobile reception if you are prepared to wander around a bit!

Summary: Great little trembraze. Loved it. Secluded, good base cosy and comfy. X
TheHarvan C. May 23, 2024 02:58:15 PM
Summary: The cottage absolutely delivered! The cottage and the grounds are immaculately kept. If you're looking for an inviting base of operations for your time in west Cornwall, you'll be hard-pressed to find better. The hosts are very accommodating and friendly, and some of our best evenings were spent just enjoying the silence after a long day of adventures.

Summary: Lovely peaceful cottage. Very comfortable - set in a beautiful location. Great place to relax and explore the area.
Paul Robert C. Sep 29, 2022 11:51:16 PM
Summary: Overall the place was lovely. Has access to various places of interest. House was small as advertised, but perfectly ok for two people. A lovely fire upstairs and downstairs the bed was very comfortable. Highly recommend for short or longer stays in any season.
Wendy C. Mar 8, 2022 03:35:53 AM
Summary: This cottage is so lovely, secluded and peaceful, with no phone signal or data so you do feel completely off grid. Very clean and everything you need. Location is great. In the 4 days we were there we travelled round the west coast to St Ives and Falmouth too.
Colette R. Oct 27, 2021 04:41:10 AM
Summary: We had a lovely stay here. The cottage is clean, comfortable, cosy and has everything you need to get away from it all. The hosts were on hand and very helpful. The village of St Keverne has 2 good pubs, a butchers and a local Spar shop. However it is a bit of a treacherous walk up the very narrow country lanes especially at night! Lots of lovely coves and bays to explore nearby too.
Linda B. Sep 29, 2021 12:18:09 PM
Summary: The cottage is lovely, set in secluded woodland with fabulous vegetation typical of that part of Cornwall. It is small but has everything you need for a quiet holiday. All the appliances work well and the bed is very comfortable. It is so peaceful with only the horses for company! Deanne and her husband made us very welcome and were really helpful. Good places to eat locally are definitely The Greenhouse in St Keverne (book first)and Big Apples, a cafe that opens during the day only and is not far away. We will hopefully visit again.

Summary: peaceful ,idyllic cottage in the woods with it's own tropical garden and 2 horses in paddock as neighbours. A truly wonderful relaxing setting with 2 pubs and shop in nearby st .Keverne. We had a wonderful time and hope to return in future. Deanne (the host) lived approx 50yards away and was there if we needed her help or any information.
Paul S. Jun 28, 2021 08:37:33 PM
Summary: We had a great week at Little Trembraze. The cottage is very comfortable, atmospheric and it has been tastefully renovated. The garden is delightful. The location is in a beautiful, green and calm part of The Lizard. Access to all parts of the Lizard coastline is swift and unproblematic. Superb walking in the whole area. Walking into St. Keverne from the cottage is easy if one wants to leave the car behind for any reason! Deanne and John were great hosts. Foxgloves all along the lanes, buzzards in the sky, an occasional owl at night, choughs on the western cliffs. What's not to like!
Kate R. Nov 2, 2020 07:19:18 AM
Summary: Turn up, wind down, switch off. Recharge. Just perfect.
