Sleeps 6 – Old coastguard cottage

Coastguard Cottage is the seaward of a group of three cottages situated at the top of the hill leading down to the sheltered beach at St. Anthony and Gillan creek, a five minute walk away.

The cottage was originally built to house the coastguards who kept watch over the entrance of the Helford River. It has spectacular views across Falmouth Bay, and from the bedrooms there are lovely views over Dennis Head and Gillan creek.

The property is light, bright and very well equipped. The ground floor comprises a living room with wood burner and a dining room to accommodate 6, both of which provide plenty of space for a family to spread out in, while the good-sized kitchen looks out over the garden and towards St. Mawes. There is a utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer.

The first floor offers the master (king size) bedroom, and two twin rooms, one of which has zip & link beds giving the option for a super king bed configuration. There is the main bathroom with shower over bath, WC and basin, and also an additional WC.

There is a large, level lawn where children can play safely well away from the lane, and road-side parking immediately in front of the property. Coastguard is close to Tendera Cottage and the pair form an ideal combination for families holidaying together.
