  Bursting with character, beautifully appointed, deceptively spacious and very pretty are all adjectives that accurately describe this traditional Cornish cottage located deep in the rural heartland of West Cornwall. Nestling on the outskirts of St. Buryan village, this charming granite property has been completely refurbished to a very comfortable standard using charming period furniture and decorated in soft neutral colours. The owners have ensured that as many original features as possible have remained during the refurbishment so as not to loose any of the traditional characteristics of the property including beamed ceilings, a large granite inglenook fireplace and Victorian coloured glass panels above the doors. Cariad, which translates as sweetheart in Welsh, also benefits from a spacious rear extension with an open plan kitchen/dining area and an en-suite double bedroom above. Guests are able to relax in the pretty rear courtyard and lawned garden which is fully enclosed with suitable garden furniture and brick built BBQ. The thriving little agricultural community of St. Buryan is adequately served by a good pub, garage, two general stores (one with a Post Office) and an antique shop! The fabulous beaches of Sennen and Porthcurno are but a short drive from the village.

  West Cornwall abounds with a rich selection of traditional country villages and hamlets. They are, quite simply, what makes this part of the world so special. Set among rolling farmland and located three miles inland from Porthcurno, the delightful village of St Buryan can be found. Named after the Irish Saint Buriana, the centre of the village is dominated by the 14 century church which acts as a distinctive landmark for miles around together with its and its circular graveyard. The church is a grade 1 listed building and its six bells are said to have the heaviest peel in the country. Legends state that the 6th century saint (Buriana) was buried here after perishing whilst trying to kidnap a local king, despite Cornwall's patron Saint Piran's attempts to save her. Agriculture is strong in St Buryan, with ploughing competitions and horse shows still a regular part of summer festivities. This rural village is surrounded by several stunning ancient monuments. The famous Merry Maidens stone circle and The Pipers standing stones, to name a few, and there are ancient Christian crosses all around the neighbouring area. A few miles to the north of St Buryan lays the Carn Euny Prehistoric Village, an ancient settlement dating back to the Iron Age, which was active during Roman times.
