The Details

  • Location

    Where is it?

    Perched on Freathy cliff, Alpha is a two-bedroom dog-friendly cabin with a large decking area offering endless sea views.

    Spend long summer days lazing around in the sun with a good book; or dine alfresco with friends and family while the sunsets over the horizon.

    From the property, there is a nearby path down to Sharrow Beach or Polhawn Cove, or walk along the cliff to the three-mile expanse of golden sand below at Whitsand Bay.

    Whitsand Bay is a wide, dramatic arc of coast, with a long sandy beach dotted with craggy rocks and backed by high cliffs. Located on the Rame Peninsula, this beautiful stretch of Cornish coast is bound by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea. Known as Cornwall's 'Forgotten Corner', the area is designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

    Explore the winding clifftop paths, stroll to a nearby cafe for lunch and relax with ever changing sea views.

    Close by, are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you across to Plymouth.

Guest Reviews

"This is a great location for relaxation and recuperation. The views are unparalleled and sunsets beautiful.
The chalet is as described; fully equipped with comfortable beds - what more could you ask for?
Lots to do in Cawsand, Kingsand. "
C Alexander, November 2024
"The view is second to none, really beautiful even in dull weather. The property was clean and well presented. Beds were very comfortable. The property manager was helpful and quick to respond when we messaged to ask a quick question. The only negative is there aren't really footpaths around so you end up walking on the road and the path down to the beach was a bit precarious in wetter conditions and very steep. By no means a deal breaker but wouldn't recommend for those with mobility issues."
L Beer, October 2024
"What an amazing place! We arrived in rain due to the time of year and we were greeted with a beautifully decorated, warm cabin with background music. Comfy beds, out of this world views and plenty of space. The property had everything we needed and more. We loved being remote, enough for it to be peaceful, but not far from great beaches, amenities and seaside towns. Thank you!

Z Watson, October 2024
"We had a fabulous stay at Alpha. The weather was very kind to us and the views and sunsets were amazing. Plenty of areas to chill & relax and the footpath to the beach was a stone's throw from the property. Highly recommend."

"Alpha is a fantastic cabin in a great location for exploring the local area. The views were fantastic, especially from the little nook seat, near the decking area. The property is well equipped for the size and has everything you need for your stay. The bed was superbly comfortable and we slept very well. We'd love to return.
