    “The cottage is situated on a cliff side with a spectacular view of Whitsand Bay and the surrounding area.”

    The cottage is cosy and beautifully decorated with all the facilities you could wish for. However, access to the property could be a challenge for people who are less firm on their legs, as the paths are quite steep and uneven in places. Also handrails only cover the last part of the set of steps.

About the location

WHITSAND BAY

Torpoint 5 miles.

Set in a bowl of hills at the head of a tidal creek that leads to the Hamoaze, opposite the great naval city of Plymouth, Millbrook is located on the Rame Peninsula, "Cornwall's Forgotten Corner". Bounded by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea, the area is deeply rural and designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a good range of shops and pubs, while close by are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you to Plymouth. Along the southern edges of the peninsula are miles of beautiful walks with glorious views of Rame Head. Just a mile south of Millbrook lies Whitsand Bay with its miles of uncrowded sandy RNLI patrolled beach and dramatic cliffs. A superb base for discovering the wild side of Cornwall.

Note: About 100 yards of steep cliff footpath, ending in 24 steps, lead to it from the road.
Note - allocated parking for one car is available from 1 April - 30th September.
