A sturdy, spacious house with stunning views over the garden and ocean, originally built in the 1800s as one of a row of Coastguard cottages

You'll feel at home the minute you walk in – this is a lovely house for families or groups of friends to relish their time together and have fun. Picture windows show off far-reaching views and there are plenty of places from which to admire them – a comfy sitting room, conservatory, open-plan kitchen and dining room and a separate snug. You shouldn't ever need to feel on top of one another here.

Four bedrooms upstairs have goose down, crisp cotton and more of those views – lovely to sit in bed with a morning cuppa and watch the weather unfurl. Even if you're stuck indoors you'll feel relaxed here. The well-stocked family kitchen is a sociable spot for cooks and everyone can join in. You're left a hamper of bits and bobs but it's a short walk to Pendeen for stocking up.

Join the rugged Coast Path from the garden gate, hop into the wood-fired hot tub, fire up the barbecue in the garden while children safely gambol.

Local points of interest from Patrick & Sue:

Puntos de interés sobre la región de
Patrick & Sue:

The South West coastal path is directly opposite the front gate - head off through tin mining country to Cape Cornwall and Sennen.
To the South, the house looks towards Levant Mine, made famous in "Poldark". To the North, Gurnard's Head is clearly visible - 2 1/2 hours' walk (Stop for refreshment at the Gurnard's Head pub, then catch the Lands End Breezer open-top bus back to Pendeen).
Mermaid's Pool, a local swimming hole, is 10 minutes' walk, just by the tiny Boat Cove. 15 minutes further on is the spectacular and little-visited Portheras beach. Several other "secret" swimming places are listed in the welcome folder at the house.
West Cornwall is renowned for its proliferation of ancient monuments - check out Lanyon Quoit, Carn Euny and the stone circle at Bostraze to name but a few and all within 10 minutes' drive.
The Captain's House was built for the Captain of the coastguard whose main job was apprehending smugglers - there is a cellar (now sealed) at the property, where all the contraband was stored after confiscation.
Sit in the conservatory and watch the birds on the feeding station - bird food supplied. We've seen ravens, kestrels, peregrines and even the elusive Cornish chough pass by our windows!
