"Mowhay" (it rhymes with "Cow-ee" ) is the Cornish word for a place where hay is stored. Usually it describes a small barn with a hayloft upstairs and a stable or cowshed below. An Mowhay was a very typical example of that kind of rural building, now newly converted to provide a comfortable 2-bedroom cottage. An Mowhay is quietly located in the tiny hamlet of Brane, right in the centre of the far tip of West Cornwall. It's at the end of a 1-mile cul de sac, so there's no through traffic, yet it's only 15 minutes by car from Penzance, or slightly more to any of the beautiful sandy beaches to the south, west and north. Or leave the car at home: footpaths run from the door to every point of the compass.



The upper floor, which was the former hay loft, is now a large single room, comprising living and dining space and kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped, with fan and microwave ovens, electric hob, refrigerator and dishwasher. The living area is comfortably furnished with sofas and rugs on the polished wood floor, Satellite TV, stereo, and multi-fuel stove. A dining table and four chairs are provided. Downstairs, you will find the two bedrooms and shower room - the Master bedroom has a King-size bed and its own French windows to the sheltered patio area outside, while the second bedroom has bunk beds (80cm size) and wardrobe; this room would be ideal for two children but it is adequate for adults. For safety reasons, we do not provide a cot, but there is room for a travel cot in either bedroom. The house is heated by storage radiators, with additional panel heaters in the bedrooms and a multi-fuel stove upstairs.
