Aurora

Introduction

High on a cliff with the ebbing and flowing sands of Whitsand Bay stretching out beneath the tides, Aurora is akin to sitting in a ship captain’s chair; uninterrupted views of the waves, sun radiant on the water like a golden pathway to the horizon ahead. Whether days on the Cornwall coast are spent soaking up the sun or with wind tangling hair on the South West Coast Path, rest is guaranteed at this luxury self-catering cabin.

Inside

A pared-back, white-washed interior adorned with simple coastal décor allows the panoramic sea views that flood in from the triple-aspect windows to take centre stage, while the decking doors, when flung open, create seamless inside-outside living on balmy summer afternoons. Wake to a flamingo pink sky from the king-size bed, brew rich coffee whilst mist swirls across the view and curl up by the fire as salty storms whip the clapperboard façade.

Outside

Fierce community abounds across Whitsand Bay and the Rame Peninsula; a wander through the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, hopping from inn to inn, is sure to reward in rosy cheeks and friends made for life. Outside the cabin, the coast path traverses sweeping cliffs, dipping down to hidden coves where there’s only the seals for company. As the sun makes way for the moon, sink into the hot tub, chinking glasses to salute the day.

• PracticalitiesParking is available on a first-come, first-served basis along the main coastal road that winds along the cliffside. There’s also a long-stay parking option a little further away if you prefer. The path down to the cabin is quite steep — an adventure in itself! It isn’t lit at night and can get slippery when wet, so we recommend wearing shoes with good grip and perhaps bringing a torch. Backpacks are easier to manage than suitcases on the path. Please note, because of the nature of the trail, it isn’t suitable for those with limited mobility, so take care as you make your way down. Inside, the open-plan kitchen has everything you need: an electric oven, hob, fridge with freezer drawer and dishwasher. In the garden, you’ll find an external utility shed with a washing machine and tumble dryer for your convenience

Whitsand Bay
