Seagulls Nest
Description
At Whitsand Bay, about a mile from Millbrook, a detached, cliff-side chalet with stunning 'ships ahoy!' views from Rame Head to Looe. About 100 yards of steep cliff footpath, ending in 24 steps, lead to it from the road. To the side, a grassed area (picnic table) on two levels (small children beware) for sitting/sunbathing. Café/shop, about 70 yards; beach by footpath, about 200 yards. Inside, it is fresh, light and contemporary. Living/dining/kitchen (microwave, freezer, larder fridge, electric oven/gas hob, TV/DVD) with 180 degree sea views. Two small bedrooms - a double (5' bed, access to one side of bed only) with 'nothing between you and the sea' views, and one with two 2'6" single beds (zip-linkable to 5' double); bathroom (suite, shower over bath). Washing machine, sink and additional loo in shed. Mount Edgcumbe Country Park and foot/car ferries to Plymouth, 5 miles. A wonderful place, great for watching the sun rise.
Whitsand Bay: 5 miles of sand and rocks, uncrowded because no roads to the shore, between Rame Head and Portwrinkle. Cliffs slope down to the beach, with chalets in places, including Tregonhawke (acclaimed restaurant, beach café) and Freathy (playing field/tennis court, buses to foot ferry to Plymouth from Cremyll) hamlets. Good surfing; HMS Scylla (sunk for marine research) attracts divers. Beach fishing; coarse fishing nearby. Cliff-top golf. Coastal walks. Millbrook, 1 mile; Kingsand/Cawsand, 2.

Perfect Score Award This property is highly rated by our customers!
A beautiful chalet in a stunning place.
The chalet was incredibly well equipped with everything we needed, very comfortable and clean. Well positioned on the cliff so not too much of a walk back up to the top. A parking permit was also provided which was great as it can be difficult to find a place to park otherwise. The owners were very helpful and welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here.
Best place we’ve ever stopped in for location and view.
Bit of a trek to with luggage but well worth it. The fact people can’t park next to their chalets is actually a bonus , the whole area is so peaceful and quiet. We actually hardly used the car as there was so much on our doorstep and a few times used the local bus, which is very regular. The chalet itself is well equipped with plenty of outdoor private space for relaxing .
We had an amazing week away at Seagulls Nest.
The holiday home was comfortable and had everything we needed. I loved sitting outside every afternoon and reading my book, and listening to the sea. The beach is beautiful and considering it was the school holidays when we visited, it was never packed/busy. Places I would recommend visiting are St Michael's Chapel for a walk and then down to Cawsand, Polperro, Fowey (Foy) and Charlestown- beautiful, quaint fishing villages with great places to eat, lovely shops, and each one had a beach to enjoy. We also visited Mount Edgecombe, sat on the sea shore collecting sea glass, had a walk and lunch. None of these places felt too busy. Polperro was my favourite! The owners of the holiday home were communicative, friendly and helpful. Would recommend Seagulls Nest and this area of Cornwall. Beautiful!
