Tucked away on iconic Stippy Stappy, a terrace of Victorian cottages that feature in all seven 'Poldark' books, this is a stunning dog-friendly retreat for couples and families alike set in a UNESCO World Heritage coastline setting. Walk through the door and you'll step into a timeless home stay complete with all its original features but with all the modern, luxurious touches that make it a boutique retreat. Original slate flooring (heated, of course!), a wood burning stove and cute kitchen all add to the cottagey feel, whilst the original wooden stairs lead to two gorgeous bedrooms - think bed knobs and broomsticks - and two fabulous bathrooms.

Outside, it's a leisurely walk down to Trevaunance Cove, a wonderful sandy beach where it's dog friendly all year, and a short walk into the heart of St Agnes - complete with artisanal shops, great pubs and excellent restaurants.

Living

A gorgeous, airy room with beams, thick stone walls and fantastic artwork, this lovely spot is super-cosy in winter with underfloor heating and a delightful wood burning stove. In summer months, the cool original slate floor and simple whitewashed walls provide a haven from the heat. The hefty, sumptuous sofa is just perfect for cuddling up on with a glass in hand, watching the embers of the fire burn. The pretty south-facing window seat is perfect for cat-napping in the sunshine, or reading a book on, a la Jane Austen. For something a little more up to date, there's a Roberts DAB radio with Bluetooth and a television for those times when only a film night will do.


Eating

The super-cute country style kitchen and dining area lies to the back of the house. We adore the lovely Farrow & Ball 'Stiffkey' blue cabinets, butler sink and vintage finishing touches such as the antique store cabinet. But don't be fooled - there's every modern convenience you'll need to rustle up tasty meals - maybe visiting the fabulous butchers, traditional greengrocers and fishmonger in the village first to buy super-fresh goodies. Additionally, there's a Nespresso maker for coffee lovers, underfloor heating to keep tootsies warm and a fabulous pine-scrubbed dining table, pew bench and Eames style chairs for long, lazy lunches. French doors open into the idyllic garden and lets the fresh sea breeze waft through.


Sleeping

Climb the original wooden stairs and you'll find two peaceful and luxurious bedrooms. The master en suite bedroom at the far end has a scrumptious king size Loaf bed, huge antique wardrobe (it's not hard to imagine Narnia lurks behind the doors) whilst the second bedroom has a lovely snug double, complete with brass bed knobs plus an antique walnut dresser. Both beds are swathed in sumptuous goose-down bedding (hypoallergenic available on request) and luxurious 500-count Egyptian cotton linens, guaranteeing you a blissful nights' sleep.


Bathing

The en suite bathroom has a stunning, contemporary bathtub for two - perfect for long soaks after a day's exploring where you can gaze out of the window over the glorious gardens. The second is a wet room, complete with drench-head shower, made to wake you up in the morning after a long lazy lie in.


Outdoor space

French doors lead from the kitchen out to the paved courtyard where you'll find a dining area with a Weber gas BBQ. Follow the steps up and you'll find sunny spots to sit, surrounded by lush historic woodland. There are places to sit for a lazy summer's breakfast or evening glass of wine, a spot of sunbathing or simply for chilling out and enjoying the holiday vibe. The front south-facing garden is a wonderful place for an evening sundowner or two, with a glass of well-earned fizz in hand and the sound of birdsong in your ears. The front and rear landscaped gardens are well-stocked with both mature shrubs and climbers, and flowering summer perennials.


Utility Room

There is access from the courtyard to a small utility room with a washing machine/drier and space to hang wetsuits or store boogie boards.


Parking

There are a few free parking spaces on the right at the top of Stippy Stappy (Stippy Stappy lane is on the left just after you have passed the church on the right and start to head downhill). Otherwise there is space to pull in, drop your cases down to the cottage and then head to the Library car park on Trelawny Road - about a five-minute walk away - which is a pay and display car park.


WiFi

Seven Stippy Stappy has super-fast fibre broadband so if you need to stay in contact with the outside world you can.


Dogs

One well-behaved dog is very welcome at Seven Stippy Stappy. St Agnes is a fabulously dog-friendly village and the beach is dog friendly all year (they must be kept on leads during the summer months). Please note, there is an additional fee per dog, per week or short break.


In the Area

St Agnes is a wonderful spot to stay. With a laid-back, surfy vibe and a host of fabulous places to eat and drink, plus Trevaunace Cove, a gorgeous sandy beach, all close by, there's no need to get in a car if you don't want to. For drinkies, head to The Tap House or The Driftwood Spars, whilst Schooners, Genki, Taste and The Cornish Pizza Company serve incredibly tasty food. Up the road is the fantastic Miner's Arms in Mithian - well worth a visit.

If you like to cook at home, there's two butchers, a fishmonger, a greengrocer and a deli or two, plus the wonderful Times-featured St Agnes Bakery only a short walk from the cottage.

A walk from St Agnes to Chapel Porth is a must, following the South West Coastal Path passing Wheal Coates (which features in BBC's Poldark) on the way.

Pop in the car and head west for St Ives, Sennen and Land's End. Head east for the wild beaches of Holywell bay and Crantock, or head to the south coast for Falmouth, Truro and the fabulous Roseland Peninsula.


Pretty as a picture and with a unique literary connection, this tranquil Grade II listed haven in the heart of gorgeous St Agnes is a part of Cornish history.

We know how gorgeous our retreats are, but don’t just take our word for it – here’s what previous guests say about Seven Stippy Stappy:

Thank you for a lovely restful week. For all the thoughtful touches, especially the flowers and the groceries they were very kind.

Super time in this lovely cottage. Really enjoyed exploring the area. Had a wonderful day today in the winter sunshine. Popped over to Porthleven and had an alfresco lunch at The Square restaurant. After a wander around, we ended up in the wonderful Ship Inn at the end of the harbour. We cannot wait to return.

Thank you for the use of this lovely cosy cottage. We had a wonderful week. The location is great for both the beach and the centre. We arrived to scones and bubbly! What a lovely surprise to celebrate our anniversary! We had delicious meals in the Peterville Inn and The Taphouse, where we enjoyed artisan pizza with a Cornish touch from the Cornish pizza company. We braced coastal walks on the path to Perranporth and Porthtowan, along with easy drives out to Hayle, Crantock, Watergate and Padstow.

Thanks for a lovely stay! Really great beer and chips at the Driftwood Spars down at the beach and excellent flapjacks at the bakery!

Thank you for the use of your lovely cottage. We had a lovely stay and really appreciated all the goodies.

Thank you for a lovely stay, your cottage is beautiful, and the décor is lovely! The perfect stay with our teenagers and the dog.

Wonderful location, beautiful and characterful cottage with classic and thoughtful interiors.

Thank you for a very lovely stay at your beautiful cottage! We will most definitely be back!

Perfect retreat in beautiful location. We had a great stay in this beautiful cottage and the weather was kind too!

What a place - a lovely cottage with a bakery, butcher and pub all within a few hundred yards. Not to mention stunning scenery just a few mins from the front door with the coast path, beaches and st Agnes beacon. The Stippy Stappy way of life is very appealing. Thanks for creating such a special cottage.

Thank you for a wonderful second stay at Stippy Stappy! We absolutely love visiting St Agnes and staying in this cottage!

Thank you for thinking of everything in your gorgeous cottage. We really appreciated the lovely extras in our hamper, including the champagne and local produce. Our Labrador had a fab time too. Thank you!

Seven Stippy Stappy is as charming in its name as it is inside and out. It’s an extremely well-equipped cosy cottage in a brilliant location in the heart of adorable St Agnes.

Thank you so much for a fabulous holiday. A beautiful cottage and St.Agnes is such a lovely village with fabulous pubs and all our meals everywhere were delicious! Loved the beach and cafes being so close. Thank you!

Absolutely stunningly beautiful house in every way and extremely comfortable. Loved all the welcoming touches - cream tea, etc, magazines, flowers.

Beautifully decorated and a really cosy place to stay. The welcome gifts that were left were brilliant and a really nice touch! Loved our stay!

Stippy Stappy is a gorgeous cottage, beautifully appointed. Little touches like unrestricted access to logs, coffee machine with plenty of pods and welcome pack were very much appreciated. Out and about there are so many dog friendly walks/ tracks. Loved it!

Beautifully renovated and very comfortable. Very pretty terraced garden with garden furniture.

This is a wonderful cottage. The owners have gone above and beyond to make visitors feel at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay

Thank you so much for the use of your beautiful cottage. We've enjoyed every moment in the comfortable and beautifully laid out 'home from home' and we are sad to have to return to normality. Lola the labrador says thank you too.

Beautiful cottage and great location. Great customer service too. Also, the housekeeper was amazing allowing us to check out later due to the storm (her suggestion, not ours) Attention to details and all the little touches made our stay in St. Agnes all the better. Norman particulary enjoyed the wood burner after our long walks.

Perfect, cosy, comfortable cottage with fast broadband for working away from the office. Ideally located in an historic location for enjoying gorgeous local walks or as a base for further exploration in Cornwall. The woodburner is the perfect focus in a relaxing space, and the well equiped kitchen and modern bathrooms ensure comfort.

The cottage was the perfect winter retreat, it had everything we needed and was super cosy.

A wonderful week in St Agnes, wild swimming, long walks and fantastic evenings by the fire. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful cottage, in a very special place.

We loved staying here! Thank you for sharing your beautiful cottage.

Absolutely perfect stay - St Agnes is so delightful, and we have loved every minute of our time here - and on our honeymoon too! Thank you.

We have had a lovely stay in your wonderful cottage. The cottage was superbly presented with welcome fizz and scones, even the dog got treats. We moved straight in, such was the way it feels, homely yet on trend and with all the necessary comforts. St Agnes itself is a jewel within Cornwall. We will be back in a flash.

A lovely cottage ideally situated between the village and the beach.

Spectacular cottage and village and scenery and holiday!!!

A beautiful cottage in a wonderful part of Cornwall!

An amazing place to stay. The extra little touches made it extra special for us staying for our honeymoon we cannot wait to come back
