About this cottage rental
The Old Ration Shop is a cottage for two. White and bright, stylish and contemporary with Farrow and Ball colours and a good mix of old and modern complemented with original art, plus all the mod cons for a comfortable year round holiday. Views are of the garden, fields and cliffs towards the sea. The South West coastal path is nearby (approximately 7 minutes walk through the village) offering beautiful walks in both directions passing fabulous beaches and overlooking the bluest of seas. The Halzephron Inn, the perfect place to watch the sunset, is a short stroll away with views over Mounts Bay and Fishing Cove.
The Old Ration Shop is arranged over two floors and is attached on one side to the owners cottage. There is a private enclosed Mediterranean style garden. In 2022 we converted the building across the courtyard into a garden studio with cosy seating, a dining area and a wood burning stove.

The accommodation was very clean and comfortable. Lots to do in the area and lovely hosts
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
The cottage was great. It was like advertised on Vrbo. The Old Station House is a cozy, stylish, comfortable, and welcoming place. Parking is easily accessible. The cottage is very clean with a mix of a modern and farmhouse-style interior design. Everything was working well, and the kitchen was sufficiently equipped to prepare meals. Amanda’s instructions are clear and easy to follow. Because the weather was warm and we toured throughout Cornwall, we only used the sunroom once. We did try out the oven, though, which worked very well. Since the location of the cottage is a bit remote, it is advised to having a car for getting around. Helston is a 10 to 20-minute car ride away depending on traffic. Altogether, we booked for 8 nights, and we loved staying at the Old Station House. We would always come back and highly recommend this special place.

Another great stay at a fantastic property in an ideal location to explore the Lizard and West Cornwall. We couldn’t ask for more and the cream tea welcome was much appreciated.

This is a compact, but cosy and beautifully furnished and decorated little cottage. The fresh cut flowers were a really nice touch, and Amanda and Ian were really nice hosts.
