Looe 6 miles.
Watchtower is a lovely, single-storey house nestled peacefully near a beach in a row of charming 19th century coastguard cottages in Downderry, Cornwall.
Seaward-facing, it boasts uninterrupted, panoramic sea views of Rame Head and Eddystone lighthouse from the garden and dining area.
Great care has been taken by the owners to retain the original character of the cottage, making it truly homely and welcoming.
Taking advantage of the wonderful outlook, the lounge/dining area has double aspect windows and offers a lovely, sunny spot for watching the world go by.
The pale blue country-style kitchen is well-equipped, and the four comfortable bedrooms offer restful sanctuaries - each complete with a selection of books.
Outside, the lawned garden is perfect for family gatherings, right above the sea with a fantastic azure vista.
Enjoy your morning coffee alfresco and relax to the sound of waves lapping the shore.
Everything you could need for your holiday is close by at Watchtower; just a short walk to the village centre will bring you to a beach shop, with a community shop opening soon and the excellent Bewshea's By The Beach Restaurant and traditional Inn on the Shore, which offers a range of locally-brewed ales.
When you are ready to explore, this beautiful corner of the county has much to see and do.
Spend lazy days on the beach, hire a kayak or boat and see the coast from a new perspective, walk the coastal footpath or discover the Lanhydrock Estate, Looe Monkey Sanctuary, or the fantastic Adrenalin Quarry with its 490m-long zip wire and giant A-frame cliff top swing!
Enjoy all this and more from a scenic, seaside stay at Watchtower.
