The tiny hamlet of Kemyel Wartha is accessed via a private track and surrounded by open countryside leading down to the sea with no near main roads or any light pollution and is very safe for children.

Within our complex we have our own stabling and enclosures housing a host of farm animals including a variety of chickens, guinea foul, ducks, geese, pygmy goats and ponies. A grassy paddock is also available to visitors at The Stables for kite flying , picnics and ball games and includes a children's play area for all to enjoy.

With our own Kemyel Cream Tea Garden overlooking the paddock, play area and the sea you may wish to relax and enjoy one of our lovely home made cream teas whilst the children are happily playing.
A very tranquil and beautiful location with the added benefit of being close to all amenities. Lots of fresh clean air, beautiful scenery, stunning sea views, adjacent beautiful Lamorna woods, fields, sandy coves and many coastal paths, all to explore at your leisure. Many major attractions in Cornwall are only a short journey away.

From the cottage which overlooks the magical Lamorna Cove you have the chance to explore many beautiful coastal paths and inland walks with breathtaking scenery. The 15 minute walk heading west from the cottage down to the cove, takes you through Lamorna woods filled with many wild flowers, wildlife and rocky outcrops with some lovely photographic and artistic view points. Once in the Cove you will find a picturesque little harbour with its cafe' serving daily lunches and beverages, restaurant and shop.

A great spot to just sit and relax and take in the stunning surroundings, from the granite strewn cliffs of Lamorna's bygone mining industry to the beautiful crystal clear blue waters and small sandy beach. Lovely and safe for swimming or you can hire little boats from the cafe'. If you feel a little more adventurous you could try out a diving lesson with one of the many instructors who visit each year.

By following the river up the narrow road out of the cove for about a mile you will reach the local pub the  famous Lamorna Wink Inn. Perfect for a pint and a spot of lunch, especially in the summer months when you can sit out in the garden or amongst the shade from the trees.

Another great place to visit is the lovely historic  fishing  village of Mousehole. From the cottage heading in an easterly direction on the coastal path for about 2 miles it takes around 30 minutes. On the way there are views over Mounts Bay to the Lizard and St Michael's Mount. With its many winding streets lined with pretty little old fishing cottages and quaint harbour and pub its a must see! There is a small sandy beach and even a tidal swimming pool that is great for kids. Little gift shops and galleries line the pretty streets as well as cafe's and fine sea food restaurants.

Every year Mousehole hosts a fantastic Christmas Lights Display where the whole village and harbour comes alive every evening from mid December.

The main towns of Newlyn and Penzance are only a 10 minute drive away and contain all the necessary facilities including a good variety of shops, many fine restaurants and eating houses, art galleries, leisure and gymnasium centers and everything else one would require.

Both towns host numerous events throughout the year which brings in many visitors. The Newlyn fish festival is famed for its wonderful cuisine and visiting chefs showing off their culinary skills. The Golowan festival lasts for a week and has a carnival, street entertainers and a fairground on the promenade.

Also based in Penzance you will find the British International Helicopter Service and the Scillonion III passenger ferry, both offering excursions to the beautiful Isles of Scilly located 28 miles south west off Lands End.
