Actually nothing to do with Winnie The Pooh ! (sorry about that) … but a modern conversion of an old Cornish Piggery situated in the parish of Gwennap - an area rich in tin and copper mining history. You'll find beautiful, unspoilt countryside, ramshackle mining stacks, and traffic-free trails that follow the routes of the old mineral tramways- ideal for walkers, cyclists and nature-lovers to explore the region.
PigLet is perfect for a couple, but the sofa can also be opened up to use as an occasional bed, thus sleeping three. There's a bright open-plan living area incorporating the kitchen, dining and living areas. Patio doors lead onto the substantial decking from both the living room and double bedroom, especially super for both the views and evening sunsets. You might even see the local fox having a wander through the fields at tea-time! Beautifully located for those who want to relax and reconvene with nature, PigLet is also within easy access of the A30, opening up most of the county within an hour's drive. Locally, you'll have Gwennap Pit, an open-air amphitheatre where Methodist Minister John Wesley first preached to a Cornish congregation in 1773. There's Carn Brea, a Neolithic hilltop settlement with a 90ft granite obelisk on its summit. Local legend tells of a giant called Bolster who, when standing, could put one foot on Carn Brea and the other on St Agnes Beacon over ten miles away! Whether true or not, the views from here are outstanding. You'll also have Carn Marth, just to the south of Piglet, and one of the highest points in Cornwall at 235 metres above sea level. The area is a designated wildlife sanctuary and accessed via one of the many local footpaths and bridleways.
Further afield, the beautiful dog-friendly beach at Perranporth is 10 miles from Piglet, as is the bustling harbour town of Falmouth. The city of Truro is 8 miles away, and other popular places such as as St Ives, Penzance and the Lizard are all within an hour's drive.
There is wifi or internet access available at PigLet in Gwennap. Perfect for searching for things to do whilst on holiday, catching up on emails or even work if you have to.
On nice days, when you want to relax you can sit out in PigLet's garden and enjoy the sun shine. Children also love the outdoors so it can be a great place for them. Although, with young children you should always check any garden is safe for them.
Why waste part of your holiday doing the washing up. PigLet has a dishwasher installed to save you time, and family arguements, about the washing up. Everybody hates doing the washing up and the last thing you need is a big family arguement about who is going to do the washing up while you are on holiday.
If you have a dog and you want to bring them with you on your holiday in Cornwall then... Great news! PigLet welcomes dogs. Often cottage owners have some restrictions on where your dog can roam in the property and there may be a small extra charge. However, there is no reason why your pet needs to miss out on the family holiday.
