Originally one of the terraced Coastguard Cottage’s the property was refurbished to create a wonderful and well-equipped holiday home.

This cottage could be the perfect base for your special family holiday or romantic couple’s escape.
LOCATION
Porthgwarra is an idyllic spot, away from it all, yet not far from anything. It's a favourite swimming spot, and you'll often see the seal who has been resident for years. The tiny fishing cove has a tidal beach as well as interesting caves and a tunnel. The caves were once used to store shellfish before the weekly market, and the tunnel was cut to allow farmers to access the beach at high tide to harvest seaweed. Today it's a quiet place that's well managed by the St Aubyn Estate and adored by us all.
It's great walking country with the dramatic cliffs of Lands End stretching out from above the cottage in one direction and in the other you come to Porth Chapel Beach, before the dramatic cliff top Minack Theatre and then the stunning beach at Porthcurno.
Even when the cove is bustling it's quiet up on the hill where the four Coastguard Cottages are lined up beneath the actual coastguard's watch house.
LIVING
The beauty of a separate kitchen, then dining room, then living room is that everyone can have their own space, while still all being in earshot. The house is tastefully decorated in calming greys hues and the sumptuous sofa and chair in the lounge is sure to cause many of its guests to slip into a dreamy slumber. There are good facilities for children and babies, including a cot and high chair.
COOKING & EATING
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to cook up a feast with an electric cooker, fridge / freezer and dishwasher. There is a washing machine in the kitchen.
SLEEPING
Wherever you stay the quality of the bed is vital. No.3 Coastguard offers supreme comfort for a great sleep, ideally with a gentle breeze from an open window. With two bedrooms the larger bedroom has a zip and link bed that transforms from twin beds into a super king for the ultimate in luxurious sleeping space. The second bedroom has a double bed. The view from the front bedroom is lovely too - you won't want to get up!
BATHING
There's a bathroom downstairs, (no WC) and one upstairs too. That's great when you come in from a day on the beach and can strip off wetsuits outside and get under the shower in no time. The upstairs bathroom is simple, but beautifully decorated.
OUTSIDE
There’s a sweet little garden with a picnic bench and the French doors open from the living room, bringing the outdoors indoors with the gentle coastal breeze. Typical of Cornish cottages the garden although private is not enclosed so you may see a neighbour from one of the other cottages venturing out onto their part of the garden- feel free to say Hello! Everyone is super friendly and discreet.
