Stairs up to first floor Queen Size double bedroom and bathroom with roll top Victorian bath and separate, walk-in shower. Up again to the second floor the pretty double bedroom in the eaves has just a glimpse of the sea and we can set it up with a single bed if needed. A travel cot and highchair are available if required, at no extra cost. A really comfortable self-catering cottage with full central heating (not night storage) all within walking distance of beaches and several good pubs with excellent food. 100% cotton bedlinen, towels, electricity and high speed wireless internet access are included. You can arrange food deliveries with Waitrose or Tesco. Although we have no carparking or outside space, there is a carpark within 75 yards and you may park right at the front door to unload. Cawsand/Kingsand villages are situated on the Rame Peninsula which is also known as Cornwall s forgotten corner - and long may it be so! A village with many ancient and true stories of smugglers and shipwrecks, the pretty colour-washed cottages and narrow streets of these ancient villages have a magical feeling. Once the dividing county line between Devon and Cornwall, one almost feels in a time warp. Here are the holidays of British childhood - picnics on the beach, fishing, paddling and crabbing in rock pools.. Spectacular scenery, walking, birdwatching, painting or just lazing - it is the perfect place for the traditional family holiday. For the more energetic, there is sailing from Cawsand beach and surfing at Whitsand Bsy. An historically rich area too: King Charles and Lord Nelson both came to the village. You will notice Palmerston s Follies (military forts) built in the 18th century to keep the French at bay and the 14th-century chapel at Rame Head where a beacon blazed at the time of the Armada. Things to Do: Do look at our own website which has a comprehensive description of things to do, come rain or shine. There are several dates when it is special to be in the village: 1 May - May Day - dating back to the 19 Century, the village is bedecked with flowers and the flower-covered Black Prince (boat) is carried through the village eventually being cast into the sea. There are children s flower garland competitions and a great community spirit celebrating the arrival of Spring. Mid August is the time for the British Fireworks Championships which take place in Plymouth and easily visible from the village. An amazing sight, not to be missed. 31 December - New Year s Eve is a special time in Cawsand when all the villagers don fancy dress and go promenading around the pubs. There are fireworks on the beach, a disco at the hotel and a fancy dress swim for Charity on New Year’s Day ! The sea temperature is usually several degrees warmer than the air - promise! The twin villages of Cawsand and Kingsand are a convenient base for visiting many of Cornwall s tourist attractions. Google the following for more information or take a look at our website and follow Things To Do tab. The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Eden Project, newly opened Pentillie Castle, Minack Theatre and many National Trust properties: Cothele, Lanhydrock and Antony House are just a few. The South West Coast Path is a dream for walkers taking in the whole of the coast of Cornwall and beyond so don t forget your walking boots and binoculars. Visit the beautiful Grade I Listed gardens of the 800-acre Mount Edgcumbe Estate just 10 minutes walk from the house, particularly lovely in Spring. Birdwatching and sea fishing are popular too and Golf is at Whitsand Bay Country Club (wonderful views) Looe and 2 courses at St Mellion (Niklaus). Surfing nearby too (see below). The ferry from the village takes you straight into the ancient Barbican area from where the Pilgrims left, here also theatre, shops and National Marine Aquarium Secluded Coves and Surfing: Whitsand Bay beach is an enormous stretch of sand nearly 7 kilometres long, which separates up into little secluded coves at low tide, including Tregantle, Sharrow, Freathy and Tregonhawke beaches. This is a great beach for finding your own bit of privacy if you are a couple or family. In
