This charming 200-year-old cottage blends historic character with modern comfort, featuring direct access to the sea and beach through kitchen French doors. It’s ideal for early morning swims, peaceful beach strolls, or tide-timed seaside picnics.

The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped and includes a dedicated coffee station to start your mornings right.

Upstairs, a luxurious shower room with a unique rock basin adds to the charm, while a cleverly placed toilet offers “the best seat in the house” with stunning views. The spacious master bedroom exudes boutique elegance, complete with a roll-top bath positioned by dual-aspect windows offering panoramic vistas.

Staying at a waterfront location offers a unique sense of peace and connection with nature that’s hard to match. From the moment you arrive, the soothing sound of the waves and the ever-changing sea views create an atmosphere of calm and escape. In Plymouth, the waterfront provides not just breathtaking scenery but also a vibrant and historic setting that invites exploration at every turn. Stroll along the harbour and watch the boats pass by, or take in the fresh sea air from the Hoe, where Smeaton’s Tower stands proudly as an iconic landmark. The panoramic views from this spot are unforgettable with Drakes Island on show in Plymouth Sound.

Just a short walk away, the cobbled streets of the Barbican offer a rich mix of history and charm. Here, you’ll find plenty of cosy pubs, stylish bars, and welcoming restaurants serving everything from fresh seafood to artisanal coffee. A holiday here also opens up endless opportunities for day trips. Use the waterfront as your base to explore further into Devon’s rolling countryside or cross into Cornwall to discover dramatic coastlines, hidden coves, and picturesque fishing villages. Whether you spend your days relaxing by the water, wandering through local markets, or setting off on scenic drives, the blend of coastal beauty and cultural richness makes this a perfect destination.

Nature lovers can hike the South West Coast Path, taking in panoramic views of the sea and cliffs, while history enthusiasts might visit ancient castles or historic manor houses dotted throughout the region. Nearby beaches offer everything from quiet sunbathing spots to opportunities for kayaking, paddleboarding, and sailing. In the evenings, return to the peaceful waterfront to enjoy a meal and sip a drink as the sun sets, or simply listen to the gentle rhythm of the tide. With so much to see and do within easy reach, a stay here promises not only rest and relaxation, but also adventure, discovery, and unforgettable memories at every turn.
