Often overlooked by the masses, and all the better for it, Whitsand Bay and its four miles of golden beaches spread across the southeastern coast of Cornwall. With views along the shoreline and out across Devon, giant cliffs flank burning sunsets and gorse flowers diffuse a heady coconut perfume, lingering heavy on the air. It is here where some of our most romantic properties reside, so follow us into Cornwall’s unknown for a fanciful hideaway, cliff-walker’s retreat or tropical escape.
Best for: Dog owners
Why? Fully enclosed garden
A cliffhanger in every sense, Breakers sits within the rocks just above the beach with uninterrupted views of the horizon and in prime position for hazy sunsets. Bright, fresh and with everything focused towards the huge windows and giant views beyond, this beach hut makes the most of inside-outside living. Sway in hammocks with your favourite novel in hand, dolphin spot over breakfast in bed and snooze to the sound of the waves gently teasing the sand below.
Best for: Lovers
Why? Iconic location, private hot tub and seclusion
This crisp, white-washed beach hut overlooking the surf and a never-ending coastline was built with romance in mind. Kick off your shoes and sip morning coffee on the sea-facing deck, plunge into the hot tub and giggle under the bubbles or throw open the doors to slumber with that glorious sea air washing over you. Time at The Edge is for you, and you alone; throw caution to the wind, leave inhibitions at the door and fall in love with being alive.
Best for: The adventurer
Why? Slightly difficult to get to, but well worth the trek
Sleek, slender and not-so-subtly gorgeous, Moontide is the perfect base for stomping the coast path and exploring this wild corner of Cornwall. On bright days, ramble to the Rame Peninsula and feel as though you are standing at the end of the world and on stormy nights, pour a glass of red and watch the weather roll across the horizon. This cosy, scandi-inspired bolthole tucked into the cliffs is a wanderer’s delight and dreamer’s haven.
Best for: The tropical traveller
Why? Bright colours and swaying palms throughout
Change your name to Lola, wear feathers in your hair and run away to Copacabana. Or Islander on Whitsand Bay, whatever takes your fancy. This Tropicana beach hut is a paradise for escapism where coconut cocktails reign and salsa dancing on the sun bleached deck is standard. Drink mimosas for breakfast, forget about the real world and immerse into a world of tropical Cornish fun in the sun.
Best for: The gentle traveller
Why? Simple, elegant, classic interiors
Daydreamer is best for doing just what it says on the tin: daydreaming with summer rays on your face and sea breeze running through your hair. With simple, classic seaside interiors and a view to die for, you’d be hard pushed to want to leave this clifftop hut for anything more than wandering to the beach. Curl up, blanket round your shoulders on the outdoor snuggle chair as the skies turn from cerulean, to tangerine to velvet blue and sink into a night of wine and good conversation.
