In the heart of Cawsand, this cottage puts one of Cornwall's prettiest fishing villages on your doorstep. The beach is less than a minute's walk away, while a pub is even closer – just down the street and perfect for a nightcap. Dating back to the 18th century, this cottage is brimming with traditional character. An open fire takes centre stage in the living area, while steep stairs lead up to the cosy bedrooms. Those lucky enough to claim the main suite will enjoy sea views and a freestanding bath – a dreamy way to start the day.
