April Cottage, Coverack

In the heart of Coverack, one of Cornwall's prettiest villages, just a stone's throw from the beach and harbour is April Cottage. This idyllic 18th century cottage has been beautifully renovated to blend seamlessly original charm with stylish, modern comforts. Well suited for simply relaxing, the warm and inviting sitting room has pretty window seats and a wood burner sits within the huge stone inglenook. The smart kitchen features exposed stone walls, a useful utility area and a door which leads to the garden. On the first floor are four attractive bedrooms: a king size double with sea views and an en suite shower-room. A second double and two single rooms share a family bathroom. Outside, from the elevated terraced garden (22 steep steps up from back door), which has a decked area with table, chairs and a BBQ, are super sea views and a gate leading to the Coast Path. Within the village are a little harbour and a beach with low-tide sand. Nearby, it is possible to try your hand at windsurfing, snorkeling, scuba diving and fishing. Further afield, the seal sanctuary at Gweek, and the larger town of Helston with its family theme park are both great ways to spend a day.
