Laburnham, Whitsand Bay

Coastal cottage in Cornwall

The incredible beachfront location is what makes this dog-friendly holiday escape such a unique, luxurious experience. Walk down the paved path and step straight onto sand each morning; watch the waves lap the shore as the sun goes down each evening. Surfers will love this luxurious lodge as there is wall storage for surfboards, so it’s a simple matter of grabbing your board and running straight down to the sea whenever the mood takes you.

If you choose to venture further than the spectacular sands of Whitsand Bay, Torpoint is 5 miles away and has shops, pubs and places to eat so you can enjoy evening meals out at your leisure, and you can even get a ferry across to the port city of Plymouth. To the south is the beautiful Rame Head Heritage Coast, perfect for walking with the dog, while there’s a golf club in Whitsand where you can play a few rounds while still enjoying the sea. If you’re hoping to relax, then you can lie on the loungers in your private front garden overlooking the sea, and when the evening gets chilly, there’s a wood burner inside and a fluffy animal print bed throw that is a lovely, cosy extra.

Escape to this luxury holiday cottage in the heart of Kernow countryside with vast views and an eclectic and intriguing interior. Dark hues and big windows offer a delightful contrast within the space and ensure you will feel a warm and welcoming atmosphere in this elegant Launceston holiday home. Old and new come together to create a great home-from-home for guests to enjoy; snuggle up around the roaring wood burner or make good use of the wonderful open-plan kitchen. Exposed stone brings another level of style to this unique space; it’s a great pick for family groups looking to get away together or big groups planning a special celebration.
