For a delightful Cornish holiday in an idyllic setting, stay at this two-bed cottage overlooking Whitesands Bay. It’s got stunning views of the wide sandy beach, Sennen Cove and Longships lighthouse – and even the Scilly Isles on clear days. With space for up to four, it’s an ideal base for families and walkers looking to soak up the coastline’s tranquillity and natural beauty, whether you’re lazing on the pretty Gwynver Beach or taking energetic walks along the South West Coast Path (both 200 metres).

The cottage itself is airy and filled with natural light, with light-coloured walls and attractive wooden accents. You’ll have a charming open-plan living area laid out over two levels, with the kitchen/diner set a few steps up from a dual-aspect lounge with garden access. Two stylish double bedrooms, both with south-westerly aspects, ensure you’ll wake up to spectacular views over the terraced garden and beyond. The master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom can be configured as a super-king or two singles to suit your group. The spacious family bathroom has a luxurious freestanding bath so you can enjoy a holiday soak. There’s also a separate shower if you’re in a rush. In good weather, make the most of the sunny terraced garden, lapping up the breathtaking sunsets and sizzling up BBQs. There’s plenty of furniture for eating and relaxing. A private path leads directly to the beach 200 metres away, and there’s a handy external shower complete with wetsuit hooks. You’ll have private parking for two cars.

Locally, head along the rugged cliff paths to iconic destinations like Land’s End (2 miles), Cape Cornwall (6 miles), and Porthcurno (4 miles) home to the famous open-air Minack Theatre. Your local area offers a variety of shops, cafes and pubs, or you can head to the bright lights of Penzance (9 miles), Newlyn (7.5 miles) and St Ives (16.5 miles) for galleries and excellent restaurants. Regular bus services make it easy to explore further afield without needing your car.
