Coastguards

Nestled in the pretty hamlet of Bohortha on the stunning Roseland peninsula, Coastguards is a beautifully restored cottage, surrounded by peaceful countryside with captivating views towards Gerrans Bay and the approaches to Falmouth and the Carrick roads. Whilst retaining many original features, Coastguards has been lovingly restored and now offers stylish, contemporary living at its very best. With gorgeous walks through stunning scenery to Place where you can catch the ferry to the vibrant seaside village of St Mawes from the doorstep, this beautiful cottage is the perfect holiday retreat for extended families or groups of friends looking for a traditional Cornish getaway, and even your four-legged friend is most welcome.

Coastguards sits at the end of a quiet unmade country lane (not suitable for low slung vehicles) with parking for two cars. The layout of the ground floor is typical of Cornish cottages with interlinking rooms, traditional beamed ceilings and sash windows giving views towards the sea from the front elevation. The kitchen is beautifully crafted along the rear of the cottage and fully equipped including a swish electric range cooker and the all-important dishwasher. A handy utility-room off the kitchen is home to the washing machine/drier and there's plenty of space for beach equipment. The adjoining wet-room is perfect for washing salty toes after a beach day.

From the kitchen, two steps lead down into the first of two, cosy sitting-rooms. The first sitting-room is a lovely area with original feature ornamental fireplace and perfectly placed window seat. The second sitting-room has a comfy corner sofa so guests can spread out and relax. Coastguards has been elegantly restored by the creative owners and beautiful traditional furniture sits perfectly with contemporary finishings, evident from the fabulous lighting and accessories. Look at the unique framed artwork above the doorframe into the second sitting-room and on closer inspection you can see it is years and years of old paint, carefully sanded back to great effect. The snug sits at the far end of the cottage, with a gorgeous desk (perfect if work comes calling) and a fabulous fireplace with wood-burner. This cosy room is the place to be in cooler months!

There are two staircases leading to the first floor, one at each end of the cottage. Both are typically steep as is traditional in Cornish cottages. On the first floor you will find four bedrooms, elegantly furnished with luxury linens for a great night's sleep and all with views across the garden towards the sea. The first bedroom is a gorgeous double room with king-size bed and the prettiest armchair for a quiet moment of peace. Bedroom two is a delightful twin bedroom, perfect for either adults or children. Both a shower-room and a second bathroom with shower can be found on the first floor, newly fitted and beautifully crafted. Bedrooms three and four are a twin room and double room with king-size bed. The landing between the bedrooms has steps and there are also steps to the bathroom and shower-room.

Outside, Coastguards is a total delight. The gardens are lawned and enclosed to the front, ideal for children and the family dog to let off steam, and a perfectly placed patio with furniture catches the Cornish sunshine. Views from here take in the gorgeous countryside and sea views over Porthbeor beach and the western approaches to Falmouth harbour so you can sit in dreamy seclusion and take in the scenery all day. Behind the cottage steps lead to an orchard which you are welcome to wander round and parking for two cars is right next to the property.

With blissful views, gorgeous interiors and a tranquil location, Coastguards is the perfect place for an extra special getaway for you, your family and your friends.
