Luxury coastal cottages in Cornwall

We do like to be beside the Cornish sea, don't we? Sweeping sands and long coastal rambles, paddling in the shallows and watching as the children jump over foaming waves. Family days by the seaside are as iconic as the soft-whip ice cream with which they go hand-in-hand. With freckled faces, salt-kissed skin, and tousled hair, retreat to the serenity of one of our luxury coastal cottages in Cornwall, from artsy St Ives to sandy Whitsand Bay, where the only thing left on the agenda is to recline with a chilled glass of wine from the fridge, as children dream of tomorrows surf adventure and the sun melts into the ocean. 

Whether you opt for a romantic cottage for two in Mousehole or a big gathering house in Perranporth, blazing summer days invite skinny dips and afternoons of sunbathing under a vintage parasol, whilst cooler months bring winter banquets prepared by a private chef and brisk dog walks across soaring sand dunes. In summer, you'll catch up on your book pile and stir frozen margaritas by the poolside. In autumn, it'll be hot chocolates and blankets as wild Atlantic winds whip sea foam against the windows of your cabin or cliff house, the crackling fire or gurgling hot tub as the only soundtrack.
