Lot's to see

There's a lot to see in the cottage as there is an abundance of colourful paintings, eclectic artwork and ceramics dotted all over the cottage which have been collected from many countries over the years. The fresh décor is calming with a few feature walls to introduce warmth and interest and the neutral carpet adds to the tranquillity of the cottage.

You really are transformed into a peaceful haven where you can truly forget about the outside world.

Living room, dining room and kitchen

The living room is very spacious with open fire for those cosy winter evenings. There is also a TV and DVD with a selection of films, various books and games (such as Scrabble, Monopoly, Murder Mystery and Puzzles). Three large sofas mean that there is plenty of room to sit and chill, read, socialise without disturbing each other. The kitchen/dining room is perfect for family meals, reunions and special occasions.

Conservatory and outside areas

Leading from the dining room the conservatory is perfect for sun downers, afternoon tea or just watching wildlife and nature do what it does best. Surrounded by lush foliage and a pond behind it feels like you are at one with nature.

Outside the conservatory there are chairs and tables where weather permitting you can dine al fresco. Lack of light pollution means that you can usually see an array of stars on a clear night. Behind the conservatory there is a pond and gently sloping lawn. There is also a secluded garden and orchard with incredible views which can be reached going up the steps from the back door.

Charm and character - in all seasons

Harbourside House is a cottage for all seasons and all occasions, full of charm and character but with the benefits of modern living.

Spring

Come in Spring and you will see an array of wild flowers and fragrant blossom.

Easter

Come for Easter where if you're quick enough you might just see the Easter Bunny!

Summer

Come in the Summer and the place comes into its own with all the summer fun and the ever changing skies and stunning sunsets.

Autumn

Come in the Autumn and after a crisp walk through the woods hearing the leaves rustling in the wind and looking for sloe berries or blackberries, a toasty warm fire awaits.

Winter

Come in Winter to combat the blues and have cosy nights in front of the crackling fire looking at the flames dancing to their own tune. Just imagine the smell of toasted marshmallows and hot chocolate filling the air. You can sit on the window seat reading, listening to the owls hooting or just day dream.

Christmas

Come and celebrate Christmas or New Year. We put a Christmas Tree up and decorate the house accordingly leaving you to come and enjoy the celebrations Cornish style!

Picture postcard

Picture postcard villages such as Kingsand and Cawsand, glorious beaches such as Whitsand Bay and also the magnificent Mount Edgcumbe Estate, with its beautiful gardens, deer park and unusual follies.

It's far enough to get away from it all and close enough to Plymouth if you want the conveniences of city life. An excellent place to base yourself to explore Cornwall and Devon.

 

 

Mount Edgcumbe Estate and surroundings

Harbourside House is located in a peaceful waterside hamlet just outside the grounds of the Mount Edgcumbe Estate which also encompasses the stunning South West Coast Path. From here you can go on many leisurely coastal, forest or inland walks.

A short drive away and you are on the most stunning road on the cliffs overlooking Whitsand Bay where there are soft sandy beaches and safe waters where you can bathe. Lifeguards operate on some of the beaches.

 

A Pebble's Throw From Your Own Beach

From the moment you get out of your car just fill your lungs with fresh Atlantic air and smell the ozone coming off the sea and you know you have truly started your holiday where you know you will relax and rejuvenate.

With a private harbour and small shingle beach, Harbourside House is perfect for relaxing, watching the wildlife, paddling at low tide in wellies, crabbing, or just watching the sun go down over the water.

There is plenty of outdoor space and gardens to run around in and play your favourite games.

Cottage History

Built in the 18th century, this historic cottage has character and soul and is steeped in history. Indeed, has had some famous residents. John Rudyard who built the wooden Eddystone Lighthouse stayed at Empacombe Bay. The current Earl of Mount Edgcumbe also lived here for a while.

According to folklore and hearsay Lady Hamilton used to stay at the cottage in one of the top floor bedrooms and light a candle in the small window to indicate to Nelson that she was there. And when he was there he would use the same small window to look through his telescope to check up on his fleet at the Naval Dockyard. The small window/opening still exists and you can see it in the top floor blue bedroom.

Fact or fiction this lovely cottage evokes images of bygone days and romantic liaisons and you can imagine yourself being transported to those times. If only walls could talk!
