Alpha, Whitsand Bay

Where is it?

Perched on Freathy cliff, Alpha is a two-bedroom cabin with a large decking area offering endless sea views.  

Spend long summer days lazing around in the sun with a good book; or dine alfresco with friends and family while the sunsets over the horizon.

From the property, there is a nearby path down to Sharrow Beach or Polhawn Cove, or walk along the cliff to the three-mile expanse of golden sand below at Whitsand Bay.

Whitsand Bay is a wide, dramatic arc of coast, with a long sandy beach dotted with craggy rocks and backed by high cliffs. Located on the Rame Peninsula, this beautiful stretch of Cornish coast is bound by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea. Known as Cornwall's 'Forgotten Corner', the area is designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Explore the winding clifftop paths, stroll to a nearby cafe for lunch and relax with ever changing sea views.

Close by, are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you across to Plymouth.
