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.
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.
How to get there
By ROAD Follow the A38 from Plymouth, over the Tamar Bridge and turn left for Mount Edgcumbe at Trerulefoot. Cawsand is 7.5 miles from there. By TRAIN : Plymouth is the nearest main line station. A taxi from Plymouth Station will cost about £30. It is also easy (and cheaper) to take a taxi to the Cremyll ferry (foot passenger only) and arrange a taxi to meet you to take you into Cawsand about 2 miles. A longer but interesting route is to take the train from Plymouth to St Germans. This takes you over the famous bridge built by Isombard Kingdom Brunel. TAXIS Cremyll Cabs Tel : 01752 - 822196. Geralds Cabs Tel : 01752 - 823703. By AIR The nearest airport is PLYMOUTH, NEWQUAY or EXETER with flights from all over Europe and also from London Gatwick. Trains also run from Gatwick into Plymouth.
In the summer months you might take a taxi from the station to the Barbican steps and use the Cawsand ferry arriving, in romantic style, directly onto Cawsand beach. Call to check the times of the Ferry, currently leaving Barbican at 10.30 12.00 14.30 1600 The cottage is just a short walk up Garrett Street.

The house is available to rent with ONE, TWO, THREE or FOUR BEDROOMS.
You do not have to rent the whole house if you just need two or three bedrooms. The unused bedrooms would be locked and you have the rest of the house to yourselves.
For a SPECIAL holiday - HONEYMOON it would be PERFECT
ONE Bedroom - our very best and all the house and garden to yourselves.
THREE NIGHT RATE will only be available to book 3 weeks OR LESS before your start date. Charges are 5/7ths of the full week's rental (according to the number of bedrooms you will be occupying) for 3 nights (minimum) and then on a pro rata basis by the night.
Guestbook for Seacroft
Excellent accommodation you won't be disappointed Wutty and family Ironbridge, Shropshire, England. Date Submitted: September 13, 2009 Date of Stay: September 2009 We booked a week here in early September 2009 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.
