Although there is no parking at the house, it is possible to park right at the front door to load and unload and the carparks at either end of the village, make it an easy walk for the driver to bring the car to the house for the rest of the family when making a day out.

Out of the high (summer) season it is also possible to rent the house with fewer bedroom (the unused bedrooms are then locked but you have the use of the whole house) for 2 - 6 people and the rates are correspondingly less. Please ask for details.

The West Country / Cornwall region

Being far south, this area is one of the warmest in the UK and Cawsand is situated in a spot which seems to catch the best of the weather. With views over the Sound to Plymouth, one often catches the wonderful sight of Naval ships passing by.

Because of the climate and the soil (acid) there are some really beautiful gardens all over the county and the nearest, Antony House and Lanhydrock are particularly special owned by the National Trust. There are also the Lost Gardens of Heligan and the Eden Project making an easy day out.

Sailing, surfing, cycling, golf, birdwatching and walking are all very popular pastimes here for families, especially and the beaches offer safe bathing with surfing (and a summer school for all levels) at 5-mile long Whitsand Bay, a mile away. Here, too, it is easy to find private, secluded coves.

The Cawsand / Kingsand area

The ancient twin seaside villages of Cawsand and Kingsand are situated in that part of Cornwall known as 'the forgotten corner'. These ancient fishing villages, with their roots in a smuggling past, are the holiday villages of British summer holidays in days gone by - not lost forever but are still HERE in Cawsand & Kingsand.

Safe, sandy beaches within a stones throw of the house, fishing in rock pools, surfing and barbecues in the garden to the sound of the waves: makes this place perfect for families. With the South West Coastal Path passing right through the villages, it is a great place for walkers whilst birdwatching here and on the estuary nearby at Antony, offers sights of rare wading birds such as Spoonbill and Black-tailed Godwit as well as Avocets and Oystercatchers.
Sailing and fishing both line and sea-fishing are easily arranged.

There are more than 6 different places to eat in the village - several old, listed, beamed pubs with good food, coffee shops and small hotel/restaurant.

“Perfect Peace” This house has everything you could want.From comfortable beds to an ever- changing sea view. Oh - and instant boiling water. Park your car in one of the two carparks and leave it there. Cawsand/Kingsand are an ideal, typical Cornish combined villages tumbling into each other. With beaches, rock pools, swimming, sailing,ferry to Plymouth , lovely walks , and welcoming hostelries,[even the natives are very friendiy].All it needs is reasonable weather!!!

“Lovely comfortable house with superb views in an ideal family holiday resort” The property was as described on the website and communications with the owner were clear and prompt. We had everything we needed in the house and it was comfortable and roomy. The layout ensured privacy and space for everyone. The garden and the stairs to the top floor bedrooms and bathroom would limit access for anyone with mobility problems. Our ages ranged from 7 to 65 and it suited us fine! Kingsand and Cawsand are great villages for an extended family holiday and everyone we met was very friendly and helpful. The beaches were marvellous for keeping children, teenagers and adults amused (canoeing, rook pooling, swimming, taking the ferry to Plymouth, watching the boats and ships).

“Perfect base” This house is stunning and the perfect base from which to explore the lovely villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. The house is really well equipped and despite grey weather, we had a fabulous week here,... more

Guestbook for Seacroft

Excellent accommodation you won't be disappointed
Wutty and family Ironbridge, Shropshire, England.
Date of Stay: September 2009
We booked a week here for 6 adults and a 2 year old - the owners couldn't have been more helpful during the booking process. When we arrived the caretaker had made sure the place was spotless, and we are fussy! Every mod-con is provided, from a tap with instant boiling water for tea & coffee, through to a huge fridge with ice & chilled water 'on-tap'. Clean white fluffy towels for everyone; lovely bed linen; plenty of comfy seating; a big LCD TV, games, broadband connection ...... the list goes on! Then there is waking up every morning to see the ocean from your bedroom window, and spending a lazy afternoon reading a book in the lounge with that same ocean view, watching the fishing boats and Navy vessels. Only word of caution is for the steep stairs, particularly from middle to third floor - risky for kids, unsuitable for elderly or infirm - but then there are 2 bedrooms on the ground floor they can use, so even then its not a show-stopper! As for the location, most of the pubs (rather than the empty hotel!) in Cawsand & Kingsand are great - nice beers & wines, good or great food and friendly people. Even the art & gift shops are a cut-above those that most sea-side resorts offer. We will certainly return for a short break or a week sometime soon.
I defy anyone to find any real faults here - an honest and genuine first rate 5-star property.
