About this property

Rockhopper Cottage | Lower Largo

Shoreline Cottage with Direct Beach Access from the Patio and Panoramic Sea Views | Sleeps 4



Perched right on the shoreline with direct access to the beach from the patio, Rockhopper Cottage is a little coastal gem made for sea lovers. Panoramic views stretch across the water, and inside the cottage has been recently modernised with bright, fresh décor and all the comforts of home — the kind of place where you can kick off your shoes, breathe in the sea air and properly switch off.



Sleeping up to 4 guests across two bedrooms and one bathroom, the cottage is a superb spot for families, couples on a romantic break, dog walkers and golfers looking to combine links golf with life on the water.





The Space



Set over two floors and offering 51 m² of accommodation, the ground level is all about relaxed, easy living. An entrance porch leads into the open-plan living room and kitchen, where comfy seating, a TV with DVD and a gas stove (with the look and feel of a wood burner, minus the effort) make things wonderfully cosy on cooler days.



A dining table is positioned by the patio doors so you can eat with uninterrupted sea views, while the modern galley-style kitchen has all the mod cons you need for simple self-catering. From here, patio doors open onto a small south-facing terrace and lawn, with a gate and shared steps leading straight down to the sand — morning dips, rock pooling and shoreline walks are quite literally on your doorstep.
