'Beautiful' Cornish cottage with cinema room and sauna has 'stunning' sunset views
The 'stunning' luxury property boasts a sauna, hot tub, and cinema room, along with sea views from the garden
Holidaymakers seeking sunshine and sandy beaches in Cornwall have fallen in love with a luxury cottage near Britain's most westerly town. The nearest town to Land's End, St Just boasts miles of stunning coastline and epic views, perfect for adventurers taking on the South West Coast Path.
Meanwhile, The Riblows, found between Cape Cornwall and St Just, offers a "beautiful and well-equipped" place to rest and recharge. Shortlisted for the 2024 Sykes Gems Awards, the luxury property is equipped with a sauna, hot tub, and cinema room, along with all-important sea views from the garden.
The Sykes Cottages listing for the holiday home explains: "The Riblows is a stunning, three-bedroom farmhouse, offering elegance and luxury. A wood fired hot tub and timber barrel sauna make for the ultimate getaway experience.
"Enjoying sea views from the pet-friendly garden, whilst thoughtfully-furnished throughout with state-of-the-art appliances, plush soft furnishings, complimentary toiletries, and renowned, local artwork, The Riblows offers a magnificent dwelling for a family of six, looking to explore the delights of Cornwall."
The property has a ground-floor king-size bedroom, with an en-suite shower room, plus a twin bedroom and a super-king-size bedroom, complete with a free-standing copper bath.
Along with a private driveway and wrap-around garden with a barbecue, there's the aforementioned sauna and hot tub. The dog-friendly property also offers four bikes for guest use, and visitors can expect a complimentary luxury welcome hamper, with toiletries and bathrobes provided.
There's plenty to do in the local area. The listing explains:"If you can tear yourself away, your nearest hub of amenities lies in St Just, a short walk or drive away, where you'll locate a selection of bakeries, art galleries, convenience stores, cafes, and pubs, or join the South West Coast Path, ready to discover an abundance of secret coves and breath-taking bays across the Cornish coastline.
"Within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a World Heritage Site, with rare breed cattle grazing the surrounding farmland, the landscape really doesn't disappoint. Direct access to the South West Coast Path means the abundance of secret coves and breathtaking bays are only a short walk away, including Cape Cornwall, England's only Cape."
The Riblows is popular with guests, earning lots of positive reviews. One reviewer said: "We had a lovely relaxing week at the Riblows. The property was as advertised and very spacious, clean and comfortable with lots of extra touches It more than met our expectations.
"The property is in a beautiful location, minutes away from the coastal path with fantastic views. We watched stunning sunsets without leaving the garden. Would highly recommend the Riblows."
A second replied: "This is the loveliest cottage we have ever stayed at for a holiday. The accommodation is beautiful, of a very high standard, warm and cosy. It is located in a wonderful part of Cornwall with fabulous beaches only a short distance away. The owners live near by and provided a very warm welcome and extremely helpful."
Another shared: "The property is very comfortable, spacious and just as it appears on the website. I particularly enjoyed being able to warm up in the sauna after a day out on the coastal path. If you like walking, it's about 5 mins walk out of the farm to get onto the south west coastal path and seriously good views. We spotted seals throughout the week so don't forget your binoculars."
However, a different reviewer with mixed feedback wrote: "We had the pleasure to meet our hosts and their lovely family who were really welcoming and couldn't do enough to help us enjoy our stay. The welcome gifts were delightful and appreciated.
"The hot tub and sauna were easy to use and worked like a dream. The property had everything we needed. The only downside were the uncomfortable beds and sofas."
Someone else commented: "Love the property and the area, hope to revisit again soon. Slight problem with the outside lights but the hosts were really helpful."
Alternatively, next year, you could book May 1 to May 8 for £1,971 or June 19 to June 26 for £2,636. Other properties near St Just include Dyji, found on Cottages.com, which sleeps two; Cot Valley Cottage, found on Cornish Cottage Holidays, which sleeps two; and The Barn, found on Booking.com, which sleeps two.

Stunning waterside home sitting above unspoiled Cornish harbour and metres from one of Britain's most revered coastal paths goes on market
A stunning waterside home sitting above an unspoiled Cornish harbour and metres from one of Britain's most revered coastal paths has gone on the market. The property, named Tregwyn, has stunning views of the Port Quin cove and an eye-watering price tag to match - at £1.5million. It is also has easy access to the South West Coast Path, the 630-mile trail featured in new popular biopic film The Salt Path, starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs. The four-bedroom, one-bathroom detached house, made from Cornish stone, boasts a whopping 2,168 sq ft of living space. Its unique features include a sea-facing patio terrace in the fenced front garden; a 'naturalised area' with a bench to take in the views; and land to the rear leased from the National Trust, with a shed and vegetable boxes. The home also boasts a wood burner, French doors, large dining room, snug, sun room, shower room, detached garage and a gated driveway with room for up to three cars. Gorgeous pictures show this 'waterfront oasis' at its best, with a view of an astonishing sunset and clear blue waters below, with the cove just 50 yards away. Near popular tourist villages Polzeath and Port Isaac, where ITV drama Doc Martin was filmed, estate agents dubbed this home 'the ultimate coastal dream'. Josephine Ashby, from John Bray Estate Agents, who are selling the property, said: 'There are a few properties that get under your skin, and this is one of them. 'The breathtaking, timeless location is second to none. 'This magical harbour is a very well-kept secret tucked between the popular villages of Port Isaac and Polzeath, with the water lapping at the foot of the cliff beneath you.' The house, used in recent years as a private holiday home, is described on its listing as 'a very well-presented stone house commanding exceptional water views'. It also offers 'front row seats to north Cornwall's sensational sunsets' and 'enjoys a light and sunny aspect in a peaceful and idyllic setting'. The waterfront outdoor space is 'perfect for soaking up the fresh sea air'. Port Quin was once a bustling fishing port, but is now a peaceful, sheltered inlet facing the Atlantic Ocean. It is popular for walking, wild swimming, kayaking, picnics and barbecuing - and boasts a discreet wood-fired sauna, run by a local business. Nearby Daymer Bay, as well as the close-by village of Rock, offer sailing, water skiing, canoeing and windsurfing. Rock also offers a ferry and water taxi across to the popular tourist town Padstow, while shops are near at hand in the market town Wadebridge too, just six miles away. Golfers can enjoy high-quality 18-hole courses at the renowned St Enodoc Golf Club or The Point at Polzeath. The location will likely prove popular for the growing fanbase of the The Salt Path film, based on Raynor Winn's best-selling 2018 memoir. It tells the story of Ray and her husband Moth, who decided to walk the South West Coast Path after their lives unexpectedly took a drastic turn. The failure of a friend's business venture, which they had invested in, saw them evicted and left homeless. And that same week, Moth received a terminal diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration, a rare neurological disease.
