Mayflower Cottage

Steeped in charm and just moments from the water's edge, this historic pink-washed cottage offers a quintessential taste of coastal life in one of Cornwall's most picturesque corners. Tucked away among the narrow streets and winding alleyways of the pretty village of Kingsand, and dating back to the 1600s, Mayflower Cottage is one of the most recognised and treasured homes in the village.

From the moment you arrive, the cottage's pretty façade and traditional features set the tone for a cosy and memorable stay. Step inside to find a warm and welcoming sitting-room, where original character blends effortlessly with stylish modern touches. On cooler days, the electric wood-burning effect stove creates a snug atmosphere-perfect for curling up with a good book or unwinding after a day of coastal adventures.

A stable-door leads to the cottage's kitchen and dining area, traditionally styled and equipped with everything you need to prepare and enjoy holiday meals. That said, with a tempting array of pubs, cafes and restaurants just steps away, you'd be forgiven for letting someone else do the cooking.

When bedtime beckons, you'll find two delightful cottage bedrooms tucked away on the first floor, each thoughtfully styled to reflect the charm and character of the home. The main bedroom features a comfortable double bed, soft linens and calming decor that invites a restful night's sleep. The second bedroom, with twin beds, is perfect for children or friends sharing, and equally cosy with its cottage-style touches. The family bathroom completes the upstairs layout, offering a bath with fitted shower - ideal for a relaxing holiday soak.

Along with the wonderful selection of places to eat and drink just a short stroll from the cottage, there's also the village shops and galleries to explore. The South West Coast Path runs right through Kingsand, it's easy to leave the car behind and enjoy the area on foot. The local community is friendly and relaxed, hosting concerts, festivals and events throughout the year - making it a truly special place to settle in, unwind and feel right at home.
