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.
