Brightwaters

Brightwaters is a 3-bedroom beachfront house in Downderry on Cornwall’s south-east coast, sleeping 6 across 3 super-king bedrooms with sea views from multiple rooms. Downderry Beach - a south-facing mile-long stretch of sand and shingle - is 400 metres from the front door.

Inside, the house has Scandinavian-inspired interiors with a Smeg range cooker, dishwasher and a Sonos sound system throughout the property. The top-floor bedroom has a glass-fronted balcony with panoramic sea views and a free-standing bath. A wood burner adds warmth for off-season stays. The 6-star rating reflects the finish throughout.

Outside, the space is built for all weathers: a fitted al fresco kitchen under a pergola, a sunken hot tub, a heated outdoor shower, a dining table and a furnished lawn with direct sea views. Private parking for 2 cars includes a complimentary EV charging point.

Downderry village is a quiet base on the south coast - calm water good for swimming and paddleboarding, with coast path walks east towards Seaton and west towards Looe. Looe is about 6 miles, and Plymouth is 30 minutes across the Tamar Bridge.

**Best for:** Groups or families wanting a high-spec beachfront house with direct sand access, hot tub and EV charging - a strong choice for off-season breaks. **Less good for:** Those wanting nightlife or a lively town on the doorstep - Downderry is deliberately quiet.
