A Luxury Beach House Overlooking Windswept Landscape and Waterways
We love this luxury beach house rental in Cornwall with its classic design and timeless appeal. Elegantly restored with posh 21st-century luxuries, it still has the carefree beachy vibe of a casual seaside retreat and the lovely traditions of the English countryside.
Located on 14 acres of the far west shores, this luxury beach house rental in Cornwall is nestled into the fields just above Porthilly Cove in Rock with spectacular views across the Camel Estuary. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the property lies at the doorstep of the famous Camel Trail cycle path overlooking the windswept landscape and waterways. Built in the 18th century, the structure was originally a farmhouse and shares the site and facilities with the cottage next door, with ample room and privacy for everyone.
The owners' background in hospitality extends from England to Switzerland, with a portfolio of holiday rentals that focus on sophisticated interior design and creature comforts. Spacious and well appointed, the house is laid out over two floors with three separate reception rooms, an airy conservatory that leads onto a sheltered patio, and a large open-plan kitchen and dining area on the ground floor.
Outfitted with cleverly integrated state-of-the-art technology, the house is also a warm and welcoming family home with an eclectic mix of contemporary, vintage and traditional English furnishings and decor. With six bedrooms, the house sleeps up to 12 comfortably and is ideal for a seaside getaway for family and friends.
Surrounding by lush sheltered gardens, there are two outdoor terraces around a firepit designed for al-fresco dining, with shared access to the tennis court, vegetable garden, pool and jacuzzi.
