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.

Excellent stay in this little cottage. We love, love, love the view and sound of the sea from every room and watching gazillions of swimmers! Very entertaining. (Dog was baffled by disappearance of beach at high tide though!). Beautifully clean village. Lovely friendly place. Great pubs. Best food at The Devonport. And delicious, huge pizzas delivered to our door from The Old Bakehouse (opposite) - hilarious! Car parking was easy in September (£25 a week). We stopped outside Erical to drop our bags on arrival with no problem. (Note extra L on door name. Brilliant lock on front door for ease of use - ignore key box!). As others have mentioned, the stairs are challenging, especially for tall people with big feet! Perfect for two (only three lounge seats) but we had friends to stay for a couple of days and it was fine. Bring your own kitchen essentials: salt, pepper, clingfilm, vinegar etc and more tea towels. No beach towels and house towels are getting tired. Note that you can lock patio doors open a smidge for air at night and sea sounds - heavenly! Big hooray to Classic Cottages for sorting out minor glitches. Very well done and thank you. I’m sure we’ll return. Make sure you walk on Rame Head out to the medieval chapel. Gorgeous!...

Beautiful and convenient location for two. Lovely feel to the cottage, quiet yet in the centre of things close to shops , pub, ferry and beaches, but also managed to feel tucked away Would recommend

We stayed at Erica for 5 nights and really enjoyed it. It’s centrally located with walks, shops, and pubs just down the street. The views were fantastic and we spent a lot our time looking out the window and reading about some of the history of the area. Maybe not ideal for the vertically challenged - going up and down the narrow stairs but the cottage’s character and location are certainly worth it! We would definitely stay again....

We have stayed in many cottages in the village over the years and found Erica provides great views of the sea from all rooms and it’s great to eat breakfast on the large balcony in the sun. However the property could benefit from some TLC
