As the name implies,
this is a conversion of two of the three cottages originally built for the
coastguard and it is easy to see why; the spectacular panoramic views
allow you to see for miles out to sea and along the coast. The Trevose
Head lighthouse is just down the road, as is the lifeboat station and both
are occasionally open to the public to view – well worth a visit. The
beaches of Mother Ivey's Bay and Booby's Bay are about a 10 minute walk
but there are several beaches in the locality - one for every day of the
week! – and most are wonderful for families and surfers alike. Trevose
Golf and Country Club is also only 2 miles down the road; weekly
membership is available. Coastguard Cottage West is beautifully furnished,
well equipped and complete with a large garden, a sun-trap of a courtyard
and a balcony to take advantage of the glorious views; what more could you
want?
During low season and at short notice mid season the main
house may be booked without The Barn at two thirds of the normal weekly
rent.
