Whitsand Bay, located in Cornwall within the South West of England, offers a picturesque retreat for two, boasting breathtaking sea views that stretch from Rame Head to Falmouth. This hidden gem, often referred to as 'This Forgotten Corner of Cornwall,' features miles of dog-friendly beaches, making it an ideal spot for both swimmers and surfers. The beach is typically uncrowded, allowing visitors to enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Notably, the area has inspired many works by author Rosamunde Pilcher and served as a filming location for the movie "Turner," directed by Mike Leigh and starring Timothy Spall.
Guests can explore nearby coastal walks to Cawsands and King Sands, or opt for a leisurely drive to enjoy local coffee shops and cafes, perfect for a relaxed afternoon. The closest village, Millbrook, provides essential amenities including shops and pubs, enhancing the convenience of the location. Upon entering the property, visitors are welcomed into an inviting open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner, featuring a cozy sofa and chairs ideal for reading or enjoying a movie by the wood burner on cooler days. The space also includes a dining table for four, perfect for enjoying meals or morning coffee together.
The well-equipped kitchen features modern appliances, including an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge, and a Nespresso coffee machine, catering to all culinary needs. A utility shed located to the side of the property houses a washer/dryer and freezer for added convenience. Further into the accommodation, guests will find a master king-size bedroom complete with a TV and direct access to a private decked area, offering stunning views that greet them each morning. A shower room with a shower and WC completes the indoor amenities.
Outside, the property reveals its true charm, providing complete privacy for relaxation on sun loungers or alfresco dining at the garden table after a day of exploration. With minimal light pollution, aside from the distant Eddystone Lighthouse, guests can enjoy spectacular night skies. The property also includes parking for one car and provides a wheelbarrow to assist with transporting luggage down the steep path, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay in this idyllic Cornish retreat.
