Captain Blake's Retreat is the ultimate get-away-from-it-all hideaway.
Wow, just look at this location!
The entrance leads straight into the sitting-area, with the kitchen and bedroom beyond.
What a view to wake up to.
The perfect place to enjoy the sun rise and set over the glistening blue sea.
Perched high on the cliff, above stunning Whitsand Bay with no near neighbours and reached only by foot, this is second to none.
Room to relax and gaze at the view, or catch up on some TV.
Sit back, relax and watch the comings and goings of coastal life - from sailing vessels to dolphins.
Located on Captain Blake's Point, named after a 17th Century Commander of the Commonwealth who took his last voyage past this coastline.
The panoramic views look towards the Rame Head Heritage Coast in one direction.
Enjoy lazy mornings and breakfast in bed.
Dive into the king-size bed after a day out and about exploring this 'forgotten corner of Cornwall'.
Lie back and take in that view.
Captain Blake's, our stunning coastal escape.
The open plan living-room is both spacious and stylish.
Have a leisurely lunch in the great outdoors with the stunning view reaching out in front of you.
The incredible view can be enjoyed from the dining-table too.
The interior is just gorgeous.
The toasty wood-burner will keep you cosy out-of-season.
Very well-equipped, the kitchen includes an electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher and fridge (with freezer).
The colours throughout perfectly complement the setting.
Seeing as you are staying at Captain Blake's Retreat, why not try and learn some Royal Navy lingo?
There's a surprisingly spacious shower room,
A hot shower awaits after a day exploring the coast path.
Will you spot any dolphins or porpoises?
The theme runs throughout.
Whether you're a captain or not, this is the place to escape from modern life.
Your four-legged friend is more than welcome to join you here.
The outdoor shower is ideal for rinsing off sandy dogs and bodies.
At low tide, there is a 3 mile stretch of golden sand.
The coast path heads over to the Rame Head Heritage Coast in one direction (the Mount Edgcumbe Estate is well worth a visit).
Exploring the coast path is a must - tracks lead from the path down to the beach below.
Truly a one-of-a-kind location.
The beach never gets busy, so you can enjoy it as you wish.
Wander along Wiggle Cliff to Captain Blakes's Point.
The perfect getaway.
Lose yourself in this landscape.
A stay here is worth every step from the parking-area.
The nearby pretty twinned villages of Kingsand and Cawsand.
The folly on the Mount Edgcumbe Estate with views across Plymouth Sound to the city of Plymouth.

Absolutely stunning location... Love, love, love!! The cottage was kitted out with everything we needed and was exceptionally clean and tidy on our arrival...a big thank you to the lovely cleaner and to the maintenance guys who delivered and installed a new TV when the old one stopped working!! ...

Loved the remoteness of the accommodation and the tranquility of opening the doors and looking/listening to the ocean. The property was of a really good standard which also makes it feel home from home.

As frequent Whitsanders, can honestly say this was one of the best - we had a fantastic time, and every village/pub/cafe we went to is very dog-friendly. Gorgeous walks and fantastic views from every point. For short legs (mine!) it's 800 steps to the cabin from the parking area but easy walking. Would have no hesitation in recommending Captain Blake's - indeed, we hope to book again. ...
