Cheerful colours, a wood-burning stove, and large windows letting in plenty of light, will make you feel right at home the second you step into Merry by the Sands. The location is also more than convenient -- a two-minute walk will bring you to the very heart of coastal village St Merryn, where you’ll find an array of cosy pubs and local shops for essentials. This little bungalow invites guests to spread out and make the space their own; to enjoy drinks on the patio under the Cornish sun, play a round of boules on the lawn, spend an afternoon with your nose in a must-read plucked from the home’s extensive bookshelves, or to arrive home tired and happy after a day of exploring the local beaches.
