About this property
ON THE BEACH holiday home
You couldn’t get much closer to the beach with this holiday property which sits in a magical location just above the golden sands of Harlyn Bay with breathtaking sea views. Sleeping up to eight guests in four bedrooms, this welcoming home is the perfect spot for a Cornish seaside holiday. Imagine evening BBQs with the sun setting over the water, salty hair and sandy feet, and the promise of another day of fun on the horizon.
Inside -
The interiors at The Cot are set up for family living. The spacious hallway provides a perfect place for beach gear, flip-flops (or wellies!) and coats, and leads into the large, light kitchen. Vaulted ceilings draw in that incredible coastal light and echo the light blues and sun-bleached colours that feature in this space. The family’s practical needs are catered for, with a huge fridge freezer, perfect for those BBQ essentials! French doors lead out onto a side patio which has a large table and chairs for outside dining, and a huge window floods the dining area with light and once again, the epic views of the bay.
Stairs lead up to the mezzanine living area, a cosy space in the eaves of the house. Kitted out with a telescope and binoculars, this a perfect vantage point for wildlife watching, and is a special place to be if the weather turns and a storm rolls in! An equally lovely room for movie nights or just relaxing, whilst still enjoying those coastal views.
All four bedrooms are on the ground floor, two on the ocean side and two facing the front of the house. There is one king size bedroom and three twin rooms, sleeping up to 8 guests in total. It is possible to have one of these twin rooms pushed together to make a large double, please enquire when booking if this set up is required. There are two bathrooms adjacent to the bedrooms, both with WC’s and baths with shower over.
Please note that bed linen is provided, but not towels - please bring towels with you.
The ground floor layout also includes a sunroom, which provides another lovely space to curl up with a book, a utility room with drying rack and a handy wet room, perfect for when those sandy feet have come right from the beach! The utility room has access from the front of the home, creating a great space for storing boards, wetsuits, and other beach gear.
Outside -
This is what beach holidays are all about. The Cot sits right on Harlyn Bay, with a large lawned garden stretching right to the sand. A patio sits off the kitchen, perfect for dining al fresco, and a fire pit provides the perfect spot to toast marshmallows. The huge garden is the perfect place for everything from ball games to book reading, all with the stunning backdrop of the bay. There is a spacious gravelled parking area to the front of the property with room for three to four cars.
Access -
The Cot has level access to the front door, across the gravelled driveway. All bedrooms, bathrooms and the kitchen are on the ground floor, with the living room on the first floor. Please refer to access statement for detailed property plans.
Pets are not permitted.
