Tiffy's

Tiffy’s started life as the workshop of the artificer or the ‘tiffy' on the former military fortification site at St Anthony Head. The cottage is surrounded by preserved military history, with the former officer’s quarters (now also holiday cottages) just next to the cottage and the gun battery close by. The defences were built to protect against invasion, from Napoleonic times up to World War Two, and you can book onto a tour to explore them.

St Anthony Head sits on the very tip of the Roseland Peninsula, an unspoilt landscape of cliffs, creeks, woods and beaches - the cottage's nearest coves are Great Molunan and Little Molunan. Wildlife thrives in Roseland's many quiet spots - ponies who graze to support a healthy balance of plants, and down at sea level, the common seals who like to visit Gulf Rock. Look out for peregrine falcons, fulmars and shags from the bird hide tucked away near the ramparts.

You'll find the coast path and many walking trails near the cottages - the St Anthony Head circular walk is a good place to start for a short, circular walk with dramatic scenery. To go further afield, jump on a passenger ferry and visit the coastal towns of St Mawes and Falmouth. 

Tiffy's is near three other holiday cottages, The Lieutenant’s Quarter (sleeps two), The Major’s Quarter (sleeps four) and The Captain's Quarter (sleeps two), which can be booked together for a group of up to 10 guests. The money you spend on your holiday helps maintain and preserve this special site.
