Morva Self Catering Holiday Cottage
Porthcressa Beach, Isles of Scilly
Description
Picture a white washed Scillonian Cottage with brightly coloured flowers in the garden and a view straight out to sea, then you’ll know what Morva looks like!
Morva oozes charm and character and is a gorgeous cottage from where to enjoy your stay, across the road from Porthcressa Beach, just five minutes walk to the town and then just a few minutes on to the main harbour where you get the boats to all the other islands from.
Attached to the orginal cottage is Morva's two storey granite built extension. On the ground floor there is a small but fully equipped kitchen area at one end and a cosy second sitting room with a TV at the other end. Upstairs there is a large double bedroom (can be set up as a twin room on request), with an ensuite bathroom. The room enjoys views across the town to the Star Castle and some spectacular sunsets

If you fancy a morning stroll, join the path to Penninis headland just outside your front gate, this walk takes in the coastal scenery with views across to St Agnes and Gugh, make sure you walk up to the lighthouse on Penninis headland and then drop down the other side towards Old Town, where you can stop for an ice cream or afternoon tea before taking another route back to Morva.
In the evening take a seat in the patio garden and enjoy a drink or two as you watch the world go by, before maybe heading out for tapas in Dibble and Grub just around the corner.
