Spriggans Holiday Cottage - Carnyorth, Cornwall

Spriggans is a charming early 19th century granite miner's cottage, close to St Just, in the beautiful wild west of Cornwall, and is newly available for self-catering holidays in 2012. It is situated in the peaceful hamlet of Carnyorth, and has recently been gently restored by artist Frankie Webb and her archaeologist partner Reg Jackson, to retain its history and character and originality.
