Chy an Mor, Coverack is a former coastguard cottage where the open-plan sitting and dining area on the first floor takes centre stage, with a dining table for eight, a wood-burning stove, two sofas and two armchairs arranged to make the most of sweeping sea views. A snug room with its own Smart television and games sits alongside, perfect for children to retreat to, while a well-equipped kitchen serves up everything needed for family cooking.
Outside, a slate terrace with outdoor furniture offers a peaceful spot for al fresco dining above the water. Four bedrooms provide restful accommodation across the ground and second floors, with bedroom one enjoying a king-size bed, Smart television and its own seating area, while the remaining rooms offer flexible king or twin arrangements, each with sea views. Driveway parking for one car sits above the property, reached via a flight of steps.
Imagine mornings spent watching the tide roll in from the terrace, then stepping straight from the ground floor onto the South West Coast Path to explore hidden coves. Afternoons drift by in the harbour village, with evenings ending beside the wood-burning stove as the sky turns pink over the sea, memories made with every visit.
