Burra Heritage Cottages

These row cottages are National treasures.

Constructed in 1856 by James and Emma Tiver they are listed on the Register of State Heritage Items, the Register of the National Estate and are regarded as unique examples of Cornish/British architecture. Barry and Maureen Wright have carefully restored all six cottages for bed and breakfast accommodation. Winners of two regional tourism awards as well as the 1995 St George Bank/National Trust Conservation Award in South Australia, they offer an opportunity to experience a genuine heritage cottage with modern comforts or, as one person wrote in the visitors' book "a journey to the past, travelling first class". Each cottage is fully self-contained. Four cottages have two double/queen bedrooms and two have a double and a twin. (See more information for bed configurations)

Breakfast can be taken in the private cottage garden under the old almond trees, with a view of the rolling hills and the historic Redruth Gaol. Each cottage has its own TV.
