If you’re looking for a memorable seaside escape with panoramic sea views from all windows, then this gorgeous cottage could be for you. For the colder months, there’s a wood burner to cosy up in front of too. You can enjoy the wonderful vistas from outside as well in the large garden with its terraced seating area, perfect for watching the sun set. If you want to explore this stunning location, the South West Coast Path is just beyond the garden. Or spend the day on beautiful Praa Sands, 3 kilometres away. A little further afield there are attractions such as St Michael's Mount, The Minack Theatre and Penzance to discover.
