A luxury dwelling in a lesser-known part of Cornwall, this glorious cottage in pretty Whitsand Bay offers glamorous and stylish accommodation for up to four guests. Its magazine-worthy interior, coupled with commanding views over the surrounding countryside, is sure to impress. The property is located within the owners’ private grounds, so you’ll be tucked away in a glorious bubble with your loved ones. When it’s time to head out, you’ll find the welcoming local pub within 150 metres and a delightful sandy beach just over 0.5 miles away – you won’t even need to take the car!

You’ll enter into an airy and elegant hallway, the first glimpse of your wow-factor holiday home. The two themed king-size bedrooms are located on the ground floor. Head upstairs to discover the pièce de résistance, a magnificent open-plan living area boasting a beamed vaulted ceiling and awe-inspiring rural views. The kitchen is a modern space featuring a huge breakfast bar that’s great for prepping cooked breakfasts and sandwiches for tomorrow. Switch on the coffee machine and make yourself a welcome brew as you relax into your temporary environs. After days out at the beach, sink into one of the sofas and view a film on the Smart TV. You can enjoy leisurely meals at the large dining table, positioned next to huge glass doors and balcony so you can admire the wonderful views as you dine. The enclosed garden is wonderful for enjoying the Cornish fresh air and sizzling up yummy BBQs for al fresco feasts.

When it’s time to head out, borrow the owners’ kayak and stand-up paddle board for a fun afternoon down at Portwrinkle Beach. Golf fans can enjoy a round at the course right next to the village (0.5 miles), while walkers will be keen to join the South West Coast Path for magnificent strolls. Six miles away, join the Torpoint ferry for a trip across the River Tamar to Plymouth (8 miles).

This cottage is exceptional and the pictures don't do it justice. It was built by the owners for their family before being let out so everything is as they would have wanted it so it's a true home from home with no expense spared (I've never been to a cottage with Miele appliances!).
