Moorings is a spacious four bedroom beach-side house, with rustic character and set in the heart of Cawsand. This holiday home offers a simple, comfortable stay with stunning views that make it a perfect retreat. It has a great terraced garden with a view of the sea, a convenient laundry room, plus it's super feature of having breath-taking sea and beach views from all of the front facing windows, with the beach itself being only 1 minutes walk away. The house is close to restaurants, tea rooms, traditional Cornish pubs and shops, which are set amongst the pretty, meandering streets of Cawsand and Kingsand, a beautiful 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.
Please note that this property sleeps a maximum of 6 adults and 2 children, due to the 4th bedroom being bunk beds.
Accessed from the top floor, through the conservatory/laundry room, there is a small terraced garden with seating.
Just the other side of the Tamar Bridge or reached by ferry from Plymouth is the Rame Peninsula – a wild headland studded with fishing villages, golden sandy beaches and pretty coves. It is home to Cawsand, a little haven of pastel-coloured cottages encircling a shingle beach and bay that overlooks the stunning Plymouth Sound. On clear days, you can catch a glimpse of all sorts of wildlife from birds to seals and dolphins, and even the famous Eddystone lighthouse.
Holidays in Cawsand are slow, peaceful and relaxing. Explore its narrow streets, shops and galleries, buy fresh sourdough bread and pastries from the Old Bakery and enjoy fish and chips or seriously good pub grub at old sailors’ haunt the Devonport. Cawsand’s twin village of Kingsand is equally as charming: while away a lazy afternoon wandering its historic streets with an ice cream in hand.
With its colourful wooden boats, shingle beach and woodland border, holidays in Cawsand are ideal for those who wish to escape the crowds in this idyllic little bay. The crystal-clear, calm water is perfect if you want to enjoy a morning dip, SUP or kayak. Kayaking and stand-up paddleboards can be hired on the beach. Enjoy a day out in the bustling city of Plymouth with its enticing array of restaurants, cafes, pubs and shops – just catch the Cremyll Ferry from the beach.
If walking is your thing, Whitsand Bay is just over five miles away along the South West Coast Path. These long, golden sandy beaches are often quiet even at the height of summer and are perfect for surfing, sunbathing and sand castles. Picnic in the dreamy riverside gardens at Port Eliot, a boho stately home which hosts quirky events such as the Dog Festival & Whippet Tea Party in May and a popular literary festival in the summer, or head to Mount Edgcumbe park, where you can rent bikes or Segways for a fun afternoon out.
Tea and cake at the Long Gallery, the beautifully restored old school house in St Germans, prepares you for a bracing walk around Rame Head. In medieval times monks were said to have retreated to its chapel – a tiny stone building far out on the headland. You feel you might be swept away with the seagulls. Afterwards, the Rod and Line in Tideford serves a lovely Sunday roast.
Sea air, a hint of nostalgia and peace: holidays in Cawsand are a wonderful tonic all year round.
