Welcome to Erica - just sit back and take in that view.
You can enjoy the view from every room.
The cottage kitchen is on the ground floor with direct access to the upper terrace area.
Bedroom 1 is on the lower ground floor with direct access to its own terrace area.
The view is very special.
The kitchen is well equipped for all you need to rustle up a feast.
The view stretches across the beach to the village's iconic village hall and clock tower.
Double aspect the kitchen s light and airy.
Erica is set over four floors to make the most of the view. The open-tread stairs are a little steep and may not be suitable for all.
The sitting/dining-room is on the first floor.
The dining-area takes pride of place soaking in that view.
The cosy sitting-area with its toasty wood-burner makes this a great retreat all year long.
Bedroom 1 on the lower ground floor has a super-comfy king-size bed.
Steps lead out from bedroom 1 to a utility-area, shower-room and the stairs to the upper floors.
The shower-room is situated on the lower ground floor.
The bed in the second bedroom is adorned with lovely linens, cushions and throw.
The view is framed perfectly in the second bedroom.
The second bedroom has an en suite cloakroom with a hand-basin and WC. Please note there is limited access to one side of the bed.
Erica sits in the heart of the twinned villages of Kingsand and Cawsand.
You are so close to the sea it will send you to sleep at night.
The Old Bakery Cafe is opposite Erica - how convenient is that, you can smell the bread as it's baking!
The old Devon/ Cornwall border sign which used to run between the two villages - there is now a more obvious border - the River Tamar.
The villages have a great choices of places to eat and drink. The Halfway House is only a few yards down the road. On a Wednesday night you might hear the Halfway Harmony singers singing a tune or two.
The villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are utterly charming.
Another pub in the village offering good old traditional hospitality.
At low tide there is a large expanse of beach - your four-legged friends will simply love it.
Watch the comings and goings of the water.

Enjoyed yet another stay in this marvellous house in fantastic location. I'm sure we will return again.
Mrs Tether October 2023
Stunning views from two separate terraces overlooking the sea - the position and view of Erica is excellent. The beds were very comfortable and the property spotlessly clean. However, we were disappointed with the overall condition of the property which would benefit from a facelift, in particular the kitchen. This is not the property for you if you have any mobility issues as the three staircases are narrow and steep. In addition, if the weather is inclement rendering the terraces unusable, the property does not have adequate inside space for four people, for example there is only comfortable seating for three in the sitting room. ...

a cosy cottage with wonderful views, good pubs and bakery, in a village(s) with a real community feel
Mrs Faria August 2023
Erica is a lovely cottage in many ways, and in a beautiful situation. The bottom terrace is a stunning place to sit out in the evenings overlooking the sea. It is narrow and steep inside, and it is characterful. Be aware there is a lack privacy in the master bedroom if you forget to shut the curtains! It is not the most comfy holiday cottage, but this could easily be remedied with new mattresses on both beds (one extremely saggy, one hard and lumpy!) Maybe another comfy footstool in the lounge too. Fortunately we had lovely weather so this did not matter as much as it could have done had the weather been poor....

Mr Macfarlane September 2023
The house has fantastic views but is let down by its poor state of repair and many parts of the kitchen do not work. Not really suitable for four adults. We have stayed for many years but this will be are last stay, in need of extensive work to modernise and deal with defects reported to Classic ( roof leak). ...
