About this property
St Just 0.9 miles. Resting in a breath-taking setting of Bollowal between Cape Cornwall and St Just, The Riblows is a stunning, three-bedroom farmhouse, offering elegance and luxury. A wood fired hot tub and timber barrel sauna make for the ultimate getaway experience. Enjoying sea views from the pet-friendly garden, whilst thoughtfully-furnished throughout with state-of-the-art appliances, plush soft furnishings, complimentary toiletries, and renowned, local artwork, The Riblows offers a magnificent dwelling for a family of six, looking to explore the delights of Cornwall. Arrive to a gated, private driveway, providing plenty of space to park up, unload your belongings and benefit from the free electric car charging; take this time to appreciate the pretty blooms, luscious lawn and tranquil setting enveloping your new home. Step indoors and turn left to be welcomed by the fully-equipped kitchen/diner, housing a selection of appliances to ease your stay, with original beams overhead and a lovely bench-style dining table to gather around; a utility and cloakroom reside nearby for convenience. On cool evenings, retire to the sitting room featuring a rustling woodburning stove, sumptuous sofas to sink into, and a wide selection of books to delve into with a glass of wine in hand; film fanatics will love the chance to spend the evening in the private cinema room, offering a wonderful ambience as you watch your favourite movie. The Riblows even has an incredible Scandinavian sauna for the ultimate relaxation experience to make your holiday all the more special. If the weather allows, spend your time outdoors by dining upon the decked area, lighting the barbecue, enjoying a picnic upon the lawned area, or simply soaking in the wood-fired hot tub, with sea views in the backdrop. Three well-appointed bedrooms await, starting with a ground-floor king-size bedroom, with elegant furnishings and a sleek en-suite shower room. Travel upstairs to reach the twin bedroom (zip/link can be king bed on request),, whilst the master super-king-size features an indulgent, roll-top copper bath for late-night soaks; plush bath robes are on offer to cosy up in after your pamper. If you can tear yourself away, your nearest hub of amenities lies in St Just, a short walk or drive away, where you'll locate a selection of bakeries, art galleries, convenience stores, cafes, and pubs, or join the South West Coast Path, ready to discover an abundance of secret coves and breath-taking bays across the Cornish coastline. Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site, with rare breed cattle grazing the surrounding farmland, the landscape really doesn't disappoint. Direct access to the South West Coast Path means the abundance of secret coves and breathtaking bays are only a short walk away, including Cape Cornwall, England's only Cape. If you're a fan of music and the arts, be sure to coincide your visit to the summer months to attend the annual Lafrowda Festival, a vibrant festival held in St Just in July. For further seaside vistas, spend the day in Penzance, a haven for foodies with winding streets dotted with independent shops and eateries, art galleries and taverns, or if you'd prefer a leisurely afternoon, Cape Cornwall Golf Club is nearby, featuring an indoor swimming pool, gym and golf course. Carefully furnished with a taste of luxury throughout, book your own Cornish retreat at The Riblows. Guests are welcome to explore the farm's wild flower meadows when they are in season or take a visit with the farmer to see the award winning animals.

St Just is the nearest town to Land’s End and is situated approximately eight miles west of Penzance. The town itself is an ancient settlement that has a strong mining history and there are several monuments and prehistoric antiquities to visit including the Bronze Age settlement at Cape Cornwall. St Just is ideally located for visitors to explore the far west of Cornwall as it is situated on the edge of the moors and close to the beautiful north coast. In the centre of the town is Plain-an-Gwarry, a theatre used for miracle plays in medieval times, and in more recent times for the Lafrowda Festival.

Such a beautiful place inside and out and it has everything you need and more for few days stay. Lorna and Harvey were both there to help whenever we needed and were really good hosts. We loved the hot tub and the sauna and Jodie the pony was the highlight of our trip! A perfect stay and we will definitely be back!

Lorna was extremely helpful and generous and it appeared that her primary concern was that we had a good week. The cottage and facilities were amazing and there were lots of nice personal touches around which we appreciated. We would have no hesitation at booking another week here. Thank you.
