Leeward House, St Agnes

Where is it?

Set in woodlands just above Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes, Leeward House delivers contemporary living on the coast.  It's a serene location, surrounded by tranquil woodland, away from the tourists, but close to inspiring coastal walks and St. Agnes village.

Leeward House is just a few minutes' walk from the sandy beach of Trevaunance Cove which is popular with surfers and families alike. Enjoy a bite to eat at the beach cafe Schooners, with views over the Atlantic, or walk up the road to sit by a roaring fire at the award-winning Cornish pub Driftwood Spars which serves local ales. A ten-minute walk takes you into the heart of St Agnes, which has an excellent bakery, butchers, greengrocers, artisan shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants.

We invited Susie Peck, The Telegraph's Family Travel and Beach Editor to stay at Leeward House. Read what she got up to during her stay.
