Downderry Beach-edge cottage, 100m from the sand
Watchtower is a single-storey 4-bedroom cottage in Downderry with direct beach access - Downderry Beach is approximately 100 metres away. The property sleeps 7 with 2 bathrooms, which makes it functional for a group of adults or a multi-generational family without anyone sharing a bathroom uncomfortably. The enclosed garden has outdoor seating, and the garden and dining area look out on panoramic sea views towards Rame Head and the Eddystone lighthouse. Wi-Fi, a dishwasher and a washing machine are included, and there is off-road parking for one car.
The single-storey layout has a double bedroom with an en-suite bath and walk-in shower, a second double, a twin and a single, plus a separate shower room and a utility room.
Downderry is a small coastal village on the south Cornwall coast, quieter than the main resort beaches at Looe and Whitsand Bay. The beach itself is sandy and rarely crowded even in summer. Seaton village, immediately east, has a cafe. The nearest shop is 3.5 miles away and the nearest pub 1.3 miles, so stock up before arriving. Looe is roughly 15 minutes by car and offers a full range of shops, restaurants, a fish market, and a harbour boat trip service. Plaidy Beach is 3.2 miles. The coast path runs along the clifftops in both directions from the village, giving access to longer walking routes towards Rame Head or Polperro.
Best for groups of up to 7 who want direct beach access in a genuinely quiet south coast location. Suits families where single-storey living is a priority. Less good for those wanting evening entertainment within walking distance - Downderry has limited after-dark options. Changeover is Saturday. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.
