THE COUNT HOUSE
Occupying a superb setting between the road and Bosigran Crag (10 minutes walk), the Count House is a most beautiful granite building. Originally built for a local mine, it is now the only climbing hut in Cornwall. Its situation is perfect for climbing on the North Coast, and the South Coast and Lizard are readily accessed. The bedrooms are named to honour past custodians of this fantastic hut.
