For a relaxing coastal getaway head to this perfectly positioned home by the sea. With private access to the beach - and south-facing sea views from every bedroom - this warm and welcoming home is ideal for a family beach holiday. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up tasty post-walk meals, best enjoyed in the light-filled conservatory or at the dining table outside. Afterwards, relax in the living room where French doors open onto the lush garden. You're in a great spot for exploring Cornwall here with Charlestown Harbour a short walk away. The Eden Project is a quick ten-minute drive and The Lost Gardens of Heligan are also nearby.
