The details
Perched above the sheltered waters of Gillan Cove, Carne Haven is a wonderfully secluded coastal escape where sea views, subtropical gardens and a private cedar sauna set the scene for a blissfully relaxing stay. Sleeping six and welcoming dogs, this spacious Cornish house puts you just two minutes from the water, with the South West Coast Path passing the gate and beautiful coastal scenery in almost every direction.
Inside, the large open-plan living space invites everyone to settle in together. Sink into the deep sofas beside the log burner and gaze through the enormous picture window towards the sea, or find a quiet corner with a book after a day exploring the coast. Alongside is a well-equipped Shaker-style kitchen and dining area that's perfect for leisurely breakfasts and long evening meals, while the glass-roofed conservatory catches the sunlight throughout the day and offers another lovely spot from which to admire the garden.
Carne Haven sleeps six across three comfortable bedrooms. The first has a super-king size bed and views towards the garden and sea, the second has a king size bed overlooking the garden and the third features a flexible zip-link bed that can be arranged as a super-king size or twins. There's an ensuite bathroom with a deep bath as well as two shower rooms, including a handy downstairs shower that's ideal when you return sandy-footed from the beach.
Outside, palms, ferns and mature trees give the sheltered garden an almost subtropical feel, with decking and terraces positioned for making the most of the sunshine and views. Tucked among the greenery is a private summer house containing a cedar sauna, complete with a circular window framing the cove and sea beyond. Warm up after a wild swim or winter walk, then cool down in the garden or linger in the summer house with a book.
Gillan Cove itself is wonderfully peaceful, with sheltered waters that are ideal for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. Walkers can join the South West Coast Path straight from the gate and head towards Nare Point, while Flushing Beach is just around the corner. Further afield, explore the Helford River and Lizard Peninsula or play a round at cliff-top Mullion Golf Club.
