A superb hillside luxurious retreat with superb views across the sea from the conservatory and decked terrace, making this a relaxing retreat, ideal for couples and small families.

Set in a beautiful coastal location, within walking distance of the beach, this hillside detached property offers stunning sea views over the bay. Downderry is a much sought after, popular village on the south Cornish coast with a beautiful shingle and sandy beach and some fine eateries close by.

Why not take a day trip to the nearby fishing villages of Looe, Polperro, Kingsands and Cawsands. There is always plenty to do in this hidden corner of Cornwall, with The Eden Project, the National Maritime Museum and numerous National Trust properties all within easy reach. Or why not try an exhilarating day out for the whole family at the nearby Adrenalin Quarry or a trip to the Wild Futures Monkey Sanctuary for something a little less challenging!

The hallway leads into the light and airy conservatory with dining table and chairs, the perfect place to enjoy a good meal whilst planning the next days adventures and enjoy the wonderful views across the sea. The simply superb sitting room is a perfect social room along with amazing sea views, with a Smart TV to watch your favourite film or cosy up and read a book in front of the wood burner. Bi-fold doors open onto a peaceful decking area, extending the social living space, with the sound of wildlife not far away.

WOW! What a place! We fell in love from the moment we arrived... yes there are a few steps up to the property (38 I think I counted but they don't feel arduous) but they are Totally worth it for the views. It's great to have a decent pub not only a short walk away but that is right next to the beach. We did some great walks, we just had The Most FaRead morebulous and Amazing Time. Hide

Great base for exploring the local area, good walks to Portwrinkle, Seaton and Looe. The village cafe has great coffee and good cakes. The village pub has good views over Downderry beach. The Beach House cafe in Seaton is well worth a visit, great service and good food.

Beautiful views from terrace , very short walk to Downderry beach . Very clean and well equipped. Excellent location in which to explore surrounding areas. Nice quiet village away from the maddening crowds of tourists. I would definitely book this bungalow again! Owners were very helpful too.

Lovely cottage situated in an ideal spot for the exploring. We walked along the Southwest coast path and other numerous walks locally . Although we had some electric and heating issues the owner worked with us to resolve as quickly as possible. Stunning views, very quiet during the day and night. We'd happily return again. Please note there are 41 Read moresteps up from the car. Eden project, Loole, Liskeard to name a few right all within easy reach from the accommodation. The village Panto was great too Hide

Thank you very much. The best cottage and location we stood in Cornwall so far. The cottage itself is very clean, modern and has everything, what we needed. The conservatory is a gem to this property. The location is perfect - a couple minutes to the beach or very friendly pub. We had an amazing holiday, thank you.

Absolutely beautiful cottage with stunning views. The cottage was well equipped with all the necessities and more besides. Close to the beach and local shops and pubs. Spent 2 weeks here and enjoyed every minute, would have definitely gone back again but sadly cannot due to owner selling.

The cottage was lovely and clean. Everything you needed was provided. Very steep access to the cottage and a fairly steep hill to walk up from the beach. Area has lots of dogs. If your not a dog lover best to avoid the area!

Great accomodation, spacious bright and well equiped, with large balcony and great sea views. Location so close to a beach and local shop just a 4 min walk. The owners were very helpful and aproachable. Seaton close by about 40min coastal and beach walk, Looe is approximately 2.5 hr walk for those who like a more challanging walk with great views.
