Balcony Cottage

Balcony Cottage is a Grade II listed 18th-century property on Garrett Street in Cawsand, sleeping 6 across three bedrooms over two floors. Sea views carry from multiple rooms. Kingsand Beach is 100 metres from the front door, with Cawsand Beach 200 metres in the other direction - two of the most accessible beaches on the Rame Peninsula.

The cottage has two bathrooms, a suntrap courtyard, dishwasher, washing machine, and Wi-Fi. A double bedroom and shower room are on the ground floor, while the sitting room, a king-size bedroom and a twin are on the first floor, with a few more stairs up to the family bathroom. Parking is in a public car park nearby, about 200 yards away, and it is possible to unload outside the cottage. The twin-village setting of Kingsand and Cawsand has a working harbour, several pubs, and a small selection of independent shops within a short walk of the property.

Cawsand's history as a smugglers' village is visible in the tight lanes and low doorways throughout the old quarter. The Rame Head peninsula to the south offers circular coastal walks with Plymouth Sound views. Whitsand Bay, one of the longest beaches in Cornwall, is 3.5 miles along the coast path. The ferry from Cawsand to Plymouth runs seasonally, connecting the village to the city without driving.

Ideal for groups or families wanting two beaches within 200 metres alongside a historic village setting. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking. Not great for anyone wanting a private garden, or those wanting modern open-plan layouts. Friday changeover.
