Set right on the waterside in the pretty seaside village of Portscatho, this gorgeous cottage is holiday heaven. With a feather-filled sofa set before a toasty wood-burner and superb views out over the water, this is the place to relax and enjoy a fabulous restful holiday. Wonderfully comfortable beds, lovely linens and beautiful furnishings all add to the experience.

The pretty front garden is perfect for morning coffee looking out to sea while the sloping rear garden needs a little careful negotiation with steps leading to a private decked dining area, but the unrivalled views stretching all around Gerrans Bay make it very worthwhile! The sandy beach, coastal footpaths and all the village amenities are just a short stroll away.

Number Four is a real delight, a former fisherman’s cottage styled with laid-back coastal chic, overlooking the tiny harbour in the quaint former fishing village of Portscatho. With its own private deck and superb sea views, it’s just a stone’s throw from the pub, village store, harbour club and coffee shop, with fabulous coastal walks right from the door.

The stylish living area has a large feathered linen sofa and buttoned leather chair, with lovely soft woollen throws to snuggle up with in front of the wood-burning stove. The light-flooded kitchen is modern with a rustic twist, with chunky, reclaimed kitchen shelves and a small breakfast-bar with retro stools for dining. Cookery books and ample kitchen equipment will have you cooking up a feast with deliciously fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.

Eating out is easy too, with the Plume of Feathers, the Boathouse, Tide and Thyme and The Hidden Hut within walking distance and Michelin-starred dining at Driftwood just a few minutes’ drive away. The contemporary bathroom on the ground floor boasts fluffy white towels, waterfall taps and a rainfall showerhead (with reduced head-height due to the low cottage ceiling, but perfect for sitting under if necessary!).

Painted pine stairs lead up to the two bedrooms (take care on these, especially with small children) where the lovely main bedroom has a window seat looking over the bay and a memory foam bed you won’t want to leave. The second bedroom has stylish nautical bunk-beds that little ones (and older ones!) will love, and a beautiful shuttered mirror and vintage painted chest of drawers.

A table and chairs in the front garden provide the perfect spot for reading the papers with your morning coffee as the sun rises over the bay, or wander across to the slipway opposite and watch little boats bobbing on their moorings in the water. The steeply rising garden at the back of the cottage (take care here as well, especially with small children) offers unrivalled views from the wooden deck over the water to Nare Head and Gull Rock. Hoist the parasol and relax on sun loungers, enjoy lunch at the dining-table, or sundowners while gazing at the stars glittering above.

With footpaths to walk, beautiful Cornish gardens to explore nearby, and beaches to discover there is plenty to do; pack your binoculars, walking boots and a few chunky novels and find your own little sanctuary at Number Four.
