Coverack is a delightful Cornish seaside village, its little cottages strung out along the road which winds from cliffside to harbour, overlooking the sparkling blue waters of the bay. A charming 300 year old terraced cottage, Cliffside is reputed to have been used by smugglers in days of yore; more recently, it belonged to the coxswain of the local lifeboat. Inside, the cottage boasts oak beams, an open fire (not available Easter to October) and a little window seat in the sitting-room which looks out to sea, and there are glorious sea views from the dining-room and the two main bedrooms (see photograph). From the extremely well-equipped kitchen a door leads out onto a tiny enclosed sun-trap of a courtyard at the rear of the cottage, a perfect spot for breakfast al fresco. Just a stone’s throw from the front door, which opens directly onto the street, there are steps leading down to the beach where a lovely stretch of sand is exposed at low tide. You can be on the beach or down at the picturesque harbour, where fishing trips can be arranged, literally within seconds; many other enticing beaches such as Kennack Sands and Kynance Cove, surrounded by acres of National Trust land, are just a short drive away.
