About this property

Luxury, Spacious, Beachfront (direct access) House with Breath-taking Sea Views

Situated on the beautiful 'Cornish Riviera', 'The View' is a wonderful, 5 bedroom house with beach access (direct from the garden) and breath-taking, 180-degree sea views. The house and view certainly has the 'wow' factor (especially when viewed from the hot tub!) In the drive, there is off-street parking for 4 cars. The heart of the home is the spacious sitting room with large sliding doors allowing you to relax on any one of the 4 comfy sofas and take in the incredible sea-view. The room is tastefully decorated with interesting, original artwork and vintage film posters. It's fully equipped with a flat- screen TV, a log-burner, a vinyl record player (with classic albums!) and a decorative juke box. This room is a cool and cosy space for the whole family! The large, spacious, kitchen / dining room is a fabulous space to host family meals allowing everyone an incredible sea-view. The master bedroom also has wonderful sea-views, a walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite with a large shower. There are 3 further double bedrooms which share a large family bathroom with a bath and shower. There is also a Quad room, ideal for younger members of the group which has its own bathroom with large shower. Kids and pets are more than welcome! (they would love it here!)

Fabulous property, seaviews are lovely and the hosts are friendly should you need to speak to them. The house has everything you could want for a chiiled break away. Location is remote and a car a must if you want to go exploring. Highly recommend for a large group get away or a family where personal space is a must! (teenagers!).

We had a wonderful time. The property is stunning. The interor is beautifully done and we felt privileged to stay in this home. The property is right on the beach front so the unspoilt views were incredible, enjoyed from the house and the fabulous garden/patio.

Fabulous House with great views

This is a beautiful house with amazing views of the Cornish Coastline. We loved the large airy living spaces, the decor and the well equipped kitchen. We had a wonderful time staying there particularly enjoying the hot tub and the garden. Whilst there we visited Cawsands, Kingsands and Rame Head and got the ferry to Plymouth from Cemyll one day.

Beautiful Location - Excellent Property

The property has stunning views and the direct access to the beach was amazing. The house is well maintained and equipped, and worked really well for our group of three generations. The teenagers especially enjoyed the hot tub, despite us not having the best weather. The local shop and pub being within walking distance was very handy. Excellent communication with the host, very helpful and responded very quickly to my messages.

Stayed for a week in this great property. Views are simply outstanding. Property right on the beach…accessed from garden gate. There are cafes & restaurants in walking distance, and excellent restaurants within 15/20 mins drive. St Mellion Golf Course…30 min dive…is outstanding.

Beautiful location

Property is right on the beach in an idyllic location, with a short drive to Looe. The layout of the bedrooms was perfect for us as an extended family. We had an issue during our stay and it was dealt with quickly and effectively by the owners and their team, so cannot fault on service. The property is well laid out with heaps of space for groups of up to 10. (We had 6 adults, 1 teenager and 3 younger children under 10).

Wonderful Week at The View

Amazing house, with an amazing view! Very well presented, with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. Very spacious and fantastic furnishings. Short stroll down the beach to The Inn on the Shore, which served great food, as did the Bewshea Tapas bar, which was close by. Lots to do in the surrounding area. We found the community store in St. Germans useful for picking up bits and pieces that we ran out of. Thoroughly enjoyed by all the family, our dogs had an amazing time too! Emily, the host, was very helpful and replied instantly to any questions we had. Would love to visit again.

Was absolutely wonderful. Totally relaxing. We took my mum in law, and she was happy most of the week just looki g out over the views. We were an extended family with my youngest son at 13, my older boys with their girlfriends and also mum in law, and all of us had a wonderful time, plenty of room. My youngest son didnt want to leave his bedroom and with allmthe things in it to occupy him. Absolutely cannot fault this place, all the furnishings were high quality including the bedding and towels. Gorgeous place and will be returning next year.

The View

Well if any place can surpasses your expectations, this was it. We are a well travelled family and I can truly say that the photos do not do it enough justice. The property is tastefully decorated and has everything you would need for a holiday. I would add that the dining table is so much nicer than the one in the photo. We could have sat in that room at that table and not left the house. The view is just superb. Thank you to our hosts, you have a piece of paradise there. We hope to be back. Claire and Malcolm

A fabulous stay

Very good communication from the point of booking onwards. We were sent a really helpful brochure in advance and check in was straightforward. The property was exactly as pictured and described. I don’t think I would ever tire of the views. The property is beautifully designed to make it so light with so many sea views. Inside there are so many things that make it a special place to stay. The beach is dog friendly and easily accessed down the steps. Seaton was a nice walk, with a couple of places to eat and drink. The other way was interesting, good for a swim and to see the big rock. We swum at both ends of the beach from the house. The water was really clear. Downderry has a friendly shop with almost every you could think of, we also had a Tesco delivery which worked well. We found the bistro on the high street expensive and not terribly friendly but ‘summink different’ was nice. Great range of ice creams and sorbet. Looe was a pretty local town, again with everything you could need. Sarah’s pasty shop was definitely worth a visit, as was the little sweet shop, hidden by the harbour. We had a lady come to the house for a spa day (Cornwall Home Spa) and visited ‘The View’ restaurant. We also took a drive to Padstow which we enjoyed, go early though. We really didn’t want to leave, we really felt very rested and relaxed after our week. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful house.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Hendy

Host profile image
We are theatrical producers from Kent who fell in love with 'The View' at first sight.

Why they chose this property

Cornwall (and in particular Downderry and the surrounding area) is our favourite holiday destination. We have three children, 8, 10 and 14 (funny names for children(!) and we think there is so much to do here for the whole family - surfing, body-boarding, rock-pooling, go-karting, zip-wires, zoos, castles etc... Or if you want a day out, you can visit Looe, Fowey, Polperro, St Ives, Landsend, the Eden Project...etc... Alternatively, you could just stay at The View and watch out for the seals who visit the reef right outside the window!

What makes this property unique

'Enjoy The View!'
The picturesque village of Downderry was voted one of the ‘Top Ten Places to Live by the Sea’ in the Sunday Times. Downderry, together with the neighbouring beachside village of Seaton, have restaurants (The Blue Plate is highly recommended!); a beachside pub (‘Inn on the Shore’ has great pub food with a wonderful view); beach cafés; a village store and a post office. Similar facilities are available at St Germans, which also has a main line railway station providing a useful link to Plymouth. Seaton beach has a RNLI Lifeguard station during the summer and Seaton also has a Countryside Park with riverside and woodland walks.

At ‘The View’, you’re just a 2 minute walk away from access to the beautiful South West Coast Path. If you’re a golfer, you can enjoy a round at at Portwrinkle, St Mellion International Golf Resort or Looe Bindown and if it's fun you're looking for, ‘Adrenalin Quarry’ is a must (with go-karting, a giant swing, a brilliant aqua park and the longest zip wire in England!)
