Hi, Hellangove is about an hour and 15mins north east of St Agnes. The cottage is in the beautiful village of South Petherwin, 2 miles out of Launceston. The scenic north coast is 20 minutes away with Bude being the nearest beach. We are right on the edge of Bodmin Moor which offers fantastic walking. South Petherwin is 2 miles off the A30 which makes it ideal for exploring the length of Cornwall easily and quickly. We live 30 minutes south near St Austell and can reach Penzance in 40 minutes from here so in an hour and 10 mins you could be looking at St Michaels Mount. Hope this helps you and thank you for your interest.
Sorry forgot to say the village is generally very quiet. Obviously there is traffic at school run times as it is a rural area and cars are needed. When I was working on the cottage from January through to May it was very peaceful and you could hear the birds singing and the new born lambs bleating.
