Two families. One cottage. Sheldrake has its own path leading straight to the shore – and stunning sea views from almost every angle.

Picture windows in the lounge frame Whitesands bay; separate from that, a large farmhouse kitchen and dining area designed for family meals with chaos and laughter. Two double bedrooms have their own en-suites. A family bathroom plus six beds in three rooms sleep the kids. Stone walls, leather sofas and wood-burner make a perfect space for fun evenings whilst the sun set provides an idyllic view.

The garden wraps around in three south-facing terraces, planted with Cornish palms and Echium – a private sun trap where the adults watch the children on the beach.

150 metres from the sand. No cars. The kind of place where two families can find their own corners, or hang out together, either way sharing the view.

"To see again that breathtakingly beautiful view and breathe the fresh Atlantic breeze is worth the wait – stunning!" – Kathy, fifth visit

Travelling with a baby? A travel cot and high chair can be waiting for you. Dogs welcome 🐾

Girl Annie arrives across a nautical bridge – you're barely at the door and already you know this cottage has a story. A former fisherman's net loft, reverse-levelled to grab the light: the first-floor living room, kitchen and dining area flow as one open space – exposed beams, a working wood-burner, and a large picture window that doesn't stop showing you the sea. Sunsets here are the kind people talk about for years afterward.

Downstairs is all peace – a double bedroom with its own sea view, a cosy bunk room for the kids, a bathroom that feels tucked away. Outside, a pretty cottage garden with uninterrupted sea views, seats and a BBQ for long evenings.

200 metres from the sand. The kind of spot where four of you can spread out, by day, kids build forts on the beach, by night, you watch storms roll in across the Atlantic from the safety of thick granite walls.

"The view from the cottage window was amazing, I so enjoyed watching the sun set over the sea. The cottage is so well equipped and the little garden was perfect." – Catt, guest

Welcome to Tresillian. A double-fronted stone house full of charming character – beautiful stone walls inside and out, beams catching the light, a stunning inglenook fireplace with a log burner for cosy evenings.

Eight of you across four bedrooms. The kitchen has an island and the garden doors fold open to a sun-trapped courtyard. A master suite holds a freestanding roll-top bath at the foot of a four-poster bed with a sea view. There's a spacious twin room, a double with an antique iron bed, both with sea views, a bunk room, and a family bathroom with a lovely corner bath.

But the garden is what makes this place. Terraced through the cliff face, exotically planted, private and peaceful – the kind of garden you'll want to spend long afternoons in.

200 metres from the beach. No cars. Space enough for three generations to find their own corner or gather close.

"The most beautiful cottage with a lovely interior and the garden is fantastically secluded, peaceful and filled with beautiful shrubs and flowers." – The Tyers family, repeating guests

A wooden bridge. That's how you arrive at Sandpipers – crossing into a world where the cottage seems to hang above its own valley.

Reverse-levelled, the views live upstairs. The wooden bridge delivers you straight into the living space – floor-to-ceiling windows holding the whole of Whitesands Bay. The first-floor balcony steps out to the Atlantic, which stretches from here to Sennen. Downstairs is light and airy – a quiet bedroom, its own wetroom – your private retreat when you want to step away.

Terraced tropical plants soften the granite walls. 250 metres below is the beach. Above is the coast path. The view is the luxury here – endless and in every room.

"The most amazing cottage stay we've ever had. From the gorgeous cottage itself, to its quiet, tranquil surroundings." – Kerry-Ann, guest

Babes in arms welcome. Dogs welcome 🐾

A former fisherman's net loft, Castaways lies snug in the dunes, 250 metres from the sand.

South-facing, now it's the light that lives here... fold back the glazed doors of the high-ceilinged conservatory and the living space and sun-trapped garden become one big room – granite walls and old beams for character, underfloor heating for sandy feet.

Perfect for two couples – an antique brass and iron bed downstairs with its own wet room, and, up among the beams, a second antique double with a bathroom of its own and an original sash window holding the bay. A floor each, a bathroom each – a holiday shared, without the sharing. And from the garden, on the clearest days, you can just make out the Isles of Scilly.

"Like breathing in relaxation and rest from the madness of the world." – Emma, returning for 20 years

Dogs welcome 🐾

There's a bath at Penrose Cottage you should know about – a big corner bath with a seat and a sea view, the kind you could sit in for hours just watching the bay.

That's upstairs. Downstairs it's all exposed stone and old beams – leather sofas surround the wood-burner, a pine kitchen with the sea in the window, and a stable door opening onto a tucked-away stone terrace, with steps climbing up into the private walled garden.

Three bedrooms sleep six, including a little bunk room with a skylight the kids will claim before you've finished unpacking. And the beach is 250 metres down the dune path – with no cars anywhere in the valley, it's the kind of walk where the kids run ahead.

"It was so peaceful, no cars, beautiful walks, and falling asleep to the sound of the sea." – Dave, guest

Travelling with a baby? A travel cot and high chair can be waiting for you – two fewer things to carry down the path. Dogs welcome 🐾

Little Petra. Vellandreath's secret escape – nestled behind its own south-facing walled garden, with a stream tracing the border and the beach 150 metres beyond.

There's a wood-burner on the slate floor, a cottage kitchen that looks straight out to sea, and a cast-iron spiral staircase winding up to a bedroom with the whole of Whitesand Bay in the window.

A hideaway for two – no cars, no traffic, just the stream, the dunes, and a barefoot walk through the sand to Sennen Cove.

"A perfect place to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. So peaceful just listening to the sea." – Paul, guest

Babes in arms welcome. Dogs welcome 🐾

Every window in Whitebreakers could pass for a painting – you'll catch yourself double-checking when the waves start moving.

A whitewashed fisherman's cottage amongst the palms and dunes, with a sea view from every single room. Made for families – three bedrooms up the open stairs, a wood-burner in the granite inglenook for sandy-footed evenings, and a south-facing walled garden bordered by a stream, where breakfast stretches long and the barbecue does the cooking.

The beach is 200 metres of soft dune path away – no cars, no traffic, just the daily leg-it down with buckets and boards.

"Labrador, kids & parents smiling ear to ear as we leg it down to the beach each day." – Julie & Jean, guests

Dogs welcome 🐾

Down a flight of winding granite steps, tucked into the valley 200 metres from the sand, there's a cottage made for cuddling on the sofa.

Evenings at Cats Cradle go like this: waves rolling in beyond the conservatory glass, the wood-burner ticking away under old beams, and a spiral staircase winding up to a bedroom where the sea is still in view when you wake.

A nest for two in a valley with no cars, no traffic – just the stream, the dunes, and the coast path waiting outside.

"Amongst the dunes and the flowers, by a clear brook where surely the fairies live... why did we leave it for so long?" – Catrine, guest

Some places you drive to. Basking Shark, you walk to — down a sandy path off Sunny Corner Lane, through the dunes, until the Atlantic opens up in front of you.
Tucked into the dunes 150 metres from the sand, it's all exposed granite and warm slate underfoot, with a kitchen window you'll lose whole mornings to. Out in the little hillside garden there's a bench, and the whole of Whitesands Bay.
A studio hideaway for two. No cars, no traffic — just the waves, the coast path on your doorstep, and if you're lucky, the cottage's namesake gliding past offshore.
"We felt like the world stopped and we had time for each other again." — Sarah, guest
