Location and directions
Quicks Cottage is in the Hamlet of Trowan which lies just outside St Ives. It is just off the road to Zennor down a traditional Cornish lane.
Off the beaten track, but not remote, Trowan enjoys the best of both worlds. The attractions of the town are within easy reach, but its secluded position offers tranquility (and easy ample parking) during the busy summer periods.
It is just 5 minutes by car from St Ives, or about 30 minutes by foot following the beautiful coastal path. A taxi costs about £5.00 telephone 01736 796633 or 01736 799200.
From the A30 enter St Ives and then follow the B3311 towards Zennor. As you reach the edge of St Ives you will see St Ives Rugby Club on the right and the Round House (which is actually octagonal). Bear right at the Round House following the road (B3306).
Take the second Cornish lane on the right where you will see a Granite stone saying Folly Farm and a dead end sign, follow the lane to the car park and cottage.
