We hope if you stay at Stippy Stappy it adds to some wonderful memories for you. Parking: Like the majority of cottages in the centre of St Agnes we do not have private parking. There are four spaces on the roadside directly outside with space to unload. These spaces become available regularly as they are often used whilst people pop into the bakery a few doors up. Alternatively there are many roads nearby with free parking. Our preference is Trevaunace road less than 100 yards away where there is a always lots of roadside parking. There is also a large free car park in the centre of the village, 3 mins walk from the cottage.The cottage is on a one way street. Also of note is that the village is set at the top of the coastline, so it is a steep walk down to the beach and stippystappy itself. Have a look for historical photos to get an idea - stippystappy is very much a landmark for the village :-). The cottage is unfortunately not suitable for mobility impaired individuals.
