Sandy Cove

Sandy Cove is a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage in Praa Sands sleeping 6 people. The property has a hot tub in the enclosed garden, an open fire in the living room, and a BBQ - a good combination for shoulder-season stays when evenings are cool. The open fire is a practical asset: wood can be sourced locally and evenings in west Cornwall in April or October require it.

Praa Sands beach is 0.9km on foot - a broad mile of west-facing sand that picks up Atlantic swell, making it a reliable spot for recreational swimming and bodyboarding from May through September. Porthleven, with its harbour-front restaurants and independent shops, is 3 miles east. Prussia Cove, a sheltered inlet popular with kayakers, is 2.8km from the property.

The property sleeps 6 across 3 bedrooms and has 2 bathrooms, which reduces morning queues for larger groups. Amenities include Wi-Fi, dishwasher, washing machine, and parking. Dogs are welcome. Saturday changeover.

Best for families with dogs or couples wanting outdoor evening space year-round. Less good for groups wanting walkable nightlife - the nearest pubs are a drive away. Rating is 10/10 from 19 Sykes reviews, which is unusually strong.

Three bedrooms sleep six with Wi-Fi, parking, dishwasher, and washing machine all included. The nearest town, Germoe, is a small village - Helston at around 5km north is the closest option for a supermarket or a pharmacy. Porthcew and Rinsey Cove at 0.9km sits alongside Praa Sands and has a National Trust clifftop path above it that extends west toward Porthleven.
