“We’ve holidayed in Kingsand for many, many years, and stayed in pretty much all of the rental properties in the village, so we eventually decided to buy our own. We wanted somewhere within walking distance of the sea with lots of character.” Owners Will and Lucy
They love
“Being so close to the sea, and the fact our kids can be carefree here. We love seeing them running up the hill, wet, sandy and smiling after being in the sea, to sit by the woodburner and drink hot chocolate.”
We loved
Waking up in the top-floor bedroom and catching that glimmer of sea in the distance. It’s such a lovely reminder of where you are.

- Paddleboard and swim in the wide, sandy bay, then go rock pooling round at Girt Beach, a sheltered shingle cove backed by Kingsand’s landmark clock tower.
- The owners recommend friendly locals The Devonport Inn (amazing food) and The Halfway House, and The Old Bakery for lunch, halfway between Kingsand and next-door-village Cawsand.
- For surfing, head over to Whitsand Bay, just a short drive from the cottage. Refuel at the Clifftop Café overlooking the beach.
- Take a coastal walk along the peninsula (a certified AONB) to the breathtaking Rame Head, with its 14thC chapel on top.
- Explore nearby Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park. Wander around the beautiful 16thC manor and grounds, before having Cornish afternoon tea at The Farriers in the old stables (jam first, down here).
- Sandways towards Fort Picklecombe is a great place for a late-afternoon beach BBQ before the tide comes in.
