About this property

Finest Retreats | Western Watch

Western Watch is a fabulous property located in the heart of Poldark country with incredible, 180-degree sweeping views out across the sea. Inside the bungalow, guests will love the characterful interiors with the vintage-style kitchen, original artwork adorning the walls and the cosy lounge with its wood-burning stove for the cooler autumn evenings. The owner is a local artist who displays her work around the cottage and which can be bought by guests - so you can take a memento home with you should you wish!

Both the kitchen/diner and the living room have concertina doors which open on to the patio and large garden which has the incredible sea views. The garden is enclosed making it an ideal property for guests bringing young children and/or pets. Guests will love sitting out of an evening and enjoying a glass of wine watching the sun set over the sea.

All three of the double bedrooms are located on the ground floor along with the family bathroom which has both a fabulous roll-top bath and a walk-in shower. There is an additional WC.

Guests can enjoy off-road parking with space for up to two cars, as well as wireless internet available throughout the property. Up to two well-behaved pets are welcome.

Western Watch is ideally located for West Cornwall’s incredible coastline and beaches. There are many pubs, restaurants and cafes within easy reach. Pendeen itself is a linear settlement, with an attractive church and an award-winning pub, the North Inn. There are plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes within walking distance and every other Saturday there is a farmers' market in the centre of the town. Geevor and Levant Mines are popular tourist attractions only a short distance away.

The sandy beach at Portheras Cove is just down the road where the white lighthouse of Pendeen Watch stands on a headland overlooking the bay. The hidden beach of Portheras Cove was recently voted ‘Best Secret Beach’ by The Times newspaper and is an absolute gem within walking distance of the front door.

We enjoyed a great 3 night stay at Western Watch
Exploring the coast path, Cornwall's Tin Mining history and discovering beaches and coves we've not been to before. Coming back to a warm, spacious, comfortable and stylish bungalow at the end of each day and waking up to views of the sea really made our holiday. Timber, our dog, really enjoyed racing around the garden too! Wish we had been able to stay longer. Thank you.

Needs to up it's game
This property was very expensive for what it is. The house gives the impression very much of being someones home or rather cobbled together holiday let. It was not equipped to the standard that one has come to expect from any holiday let. One white wine glass plus an assortment of others. No kitchen scissors and a jumble of other equipment. Whilst appreciating that the decor was supposed to have vintage appeal the overall effect was dated and Spartan and drab. The view from the kitchen was good but the garden was scruffy and unkempt as was the next door property which I understand is lived in by the owners of this property let. One pint of milk left for us on arrival ... mean we thought. We had spent the previous week in a Sykes holiday cottage at half the price and it was superb. This place needs to make more effort to justify it's price. The only positive thing I could say is that it's location is very good and so this meant that despite of the above we enjoyed our stay. If they wish to continue letting this property, (which I imagine anyhow is a temporary way of making money for the owners) I would suggest a complete update. The current reviews on your site are very misleading and whilst not wishing to be mean I would suggest that this is a more honest one.

First time at Western Watch
Beautiful Location, Stunning Views and great walks for the dogs. Very relaxing. We also met the owners of the property. They could see that we were having difficulty with the garden gates and we had 3 small dogs who could get underneath them. They very kindly fixed this problem for us by applying some wire to the bottom so that they could not get out. Overall a brilliant stay and will be booking for next year. Thanks Canovi Family Maybe a small washing line to hang washing to dry. We did use a clothes rack but had to bring it in when out as the breeze would blow it over
