About this property
A beautiful, dog-friendly holiday home with magnificent views of two coastlines
Balwest Cottage is a contemporary and cosy holiday retreat, which on a clear day boasts lovely views of both of Cornwall's coastlines from its first floor. With its large garden, comfortable décor and modern amenities, this really is a wonderful choice for a romantic break, family holiday or a getaway with friends. What makes Balwest Cottage truly special is the attention to detail. From cosy rugs to charming artwork and other decorative touches, it's clear that the owners have put time and effort into creating a truly lovely coastal hideaway.
The ground floor kitchen is well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, including a double oven, dishwasher and washer dryer. While the large conservatory is the ideal spot to sit back and relax with a good book; or get cosy in front of a wood burning stove in the sitting room perfect for enjoying cosy evenings in - just the thing after a long day of sea air and sandcastles. The large enclosed garden is perfect for children to play in and furniture for al-fresco dining.
The three bedrooms are all located on the first floor; two with plush king-size beds and the third with a single bed and pull-out single trundle bed suitable for children. All bedrooms have use of the family bathroom with bath, separate shower, wash basin and WC.
The sleepy village of Balwest is just a 5-minute drive from the coast, including the popular beach at Praa Sands, making this a wonderful choice for a seaside holiday.
Additional Information:
One well behaved dog welcome (small additional charge).
Cot and highchair available on request.
