1 Bed in Torpoint (oc-93517)

Whitsand Bay, Cornwall’s “Forgotten Corner” on the south-eastern coast, offers over three miles of stunning sand, stretching from Rame Head west to the former fishing harbour at Portwrinkle and is considered one of Cornwall’s hidden gems. The RNLI-monitored beaches are ideal for swimmers, surfers and for walkers as the coastline stretches for miles (subject to tides). Lots to explore on foot on the SW coastal path or by car – villages Cawsands/Kingsands, Mount Edgecombe Country Park, Looe (famous for filming BBC’s “Beyond Paradise”) to name just a few.

Scattered across Tregonhawke Cliff overlooking the Bay are a restricted number of timber chalets, some dating back to World War 11. Many fell into disrepair in the 1960/70s but, in recent years, have been upgraded or rebuilt, including – Driftsands.Driftsands boasts spectacular, breathtaking, uninterrupted vistas across the Bay and the sea to the renown Eddystone Lighthouse and the horizon beyond. Two sets of bifold doors cross the length of the open plan living/dining area, making a seamless connection between the inside and out. Open the doors to the front “dining” deck with bistro table set, wicker sofa and outside kitchen with Ninja Woodfire BBQ. Or, close the doors, sit inside in comfort and watch the weather go by: there’s a log-effect gas fire to keep you warm and cosy, come rain or shine, whatever the time of year. The bedroom is to the side of the lounge, with a king-size bed, perfect for a lazy morning lie-in. Sea views from the picture window and a stable door to the side deck, with pergola, sun blinds, loungers (which convert to a full-size bed) and a raised eating area to catch the evening sun to the West or al fresco dining under the stars To the rear is the fully equipped kitchen and the bathroom with shower over bath (double ended for ultimate relaxation) completes this luxury retreat. Take a look at the gallery to appreciate what’s on offer. Guests have been coming to Driftsands for over 10 years giving lots of positive feedback – perfectly positioned … outdoor spaces wonderful, sitting outside reading and listening to the sound of the ocean, heaven sent … comfortable in all weathers … stunning sunsets … everything just perfect, couldn’t ask for more … very well equipped, everything you needed, spotless … peaceful, tranquillity.Parking is provided near the top of the cliff and then a 500-metre walk to the chalet down a sloping tarmac track, which is steep in places. There are 10 steps up to the chalet. Please note - this property is not suitable for guests with restricted or limited mobility.
