Access Statement

Introduction

Cobblestone Cottage is a barn conversion next to our own farmhouse. It is about 1 mile from the nearest village of Heamoor.

The cottage is fully equipped for self-catering. The sitting room and kitchen/diner are large, light and spacious. There are also 2 separate bedrooms, one family bathroom with shower attachment, and one ensuite shower room.

Pre-Arrival

Take the A30 towards Penzance. Go straight over the Sainsbury’s roundabout and take the second exit at the Tesco roundabout. Straight over at the next roundabout. At the next roundabout take the 4th exit to Heamoor. Go through the village and past the Sportsman pub. As you come out of the village turn right at the crossroads signposted Gulval. This is Joseph’s Lane. Take the first left signposted Bone Valley.

Go past a campsite on the left then through a woody area. You will come across a nasty S bend with Higher Boskinning on the right. Continue round the S bend and take the next right turn. There is a boulder with a slate sign ‘Lower Boskinning’. Go up the drive and the cottage parking is the first entrance on the right.

Should you require parking for a second car, continue up the drive and park close to the hedge on the right at the end of the cottage.

There is a key safe on the gate in the parking area and the code will be shared with you prior to your arrival. Please keep the gate locked to prevent cows from entering the garden

Our house is the next one on the right if you have any problems.

We are 10 minutes from Penzance station and 60 minutes from Newquay Airport. Hertz Car Hire operate from Newquay Airport and Europcar from Penzance train station where there is also a taxi rank.

There is a bus station in Penzance but there is only one bus a day past the cottage so a car is essential.

By car, we are 5 1/2 – 6 hours from London and about 3 hours from Bristol.

Car Parking and Arrival

Parking space for 1 car is available on a gravelled area off the driveway. The parking area is lit by a motion sensor light.

Access from the car park to the cottage is via two sets of granite steps.  The first set has two steps which are 10cm and 20cm high.  A granite chipping pathway joins these to a second set of steps which are  20cm and 25cm high.

There is a light outside the door, the switch for which is just inside the cottage on the right hand side. The width of the front door is 68 cm and fully opened 130cm.
