Property code: OC-B588812

Set against a backdrop of sweeping sea views on one side and Cornwall’s undulating valleys on the other, this marvellous annexe provides exceptional scenery from every angle. It’s a fantastic base for two guests hoping to slow things down, escape the everyday and get truly stuck into life on the Cornish coast. The beach is just 250 metres away, accessed via the coast path, while a handy outdoor shower and surf storage at the property make it an ideal destination for a surfing escape. It’s also dog-friendly, making it perfect for couples holidaying with man’s best friend.

This single-storey space is homely and inviting throughout, complete with an open-plan living area that flows effortlessly into the large, enclosed patio via bi-fold doors. The lounge/kitchen/diner enjoys sea views even when the patio doors are closed, meaning you can still take in the scenery while curled up beside the living-flame stove with the TV/DVD switched on. When the sun shines, throw open the doors and move into the well-furnished patio area, complete with a chiminea and gas BBQ. Back inside, the double bedroom and its en-suite bathroom sit across the hall, offering a restful space to recharge between days out exploring. Private parking is also available for two cars.

Explore Whitsand Bay’s rugged cliffs and stunning beaches, following the steep, uneven path from the property down to the beach before joining the cliff path from there. The Rame Head Heritage Coast (4 miles) offers breathtaking scenery, while across the peninsula, Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park (4.5 miles) is well worth a visit. Make your way across to Plymouth (6.5 miles via passenger ferry, 9 miles by car), a vibrant cultural hub with shops, eateries, a cinema and theatre, or head in the opposite direction to visit the charming Cornish town of Looe (13 miles).

Good points: - Very good value for money, especially in the summer holidays - The beach never ever gets busy - Very comfy bed - Sheep on the field next to us which we very much enjoyed watching whilst lying in bed - Beautiful view with great sunset right in front of you - Right next to the beach - Nice, quiet area Bad points: - TRead morehe soap bottle at the kitchen sink was just a completely empty bottle, and the one in the bathroom was about a quarter full - There is no respite from the sun most of the day and feels a bit like a greenhouse - Following this point, the patio area was very intense under the sun, we found a parasole in the utility room, but there was no umbrella base so we couldnt even use it - We used the washing machine once and it leaked everywhere, and my clothes were dirtier when I took them out then when I put them in - Quite a few signs of wear and tear - The Cliff Top Cafe was advertised a short walk, it is very much not and is at least a 20 minute walk, some parts quite steep and not forgiving in the sun. Not somehwhere you can just pop down to Hide
