Scylla View Cottage, Whitsand Bay

Absolutely stunning location. The apartment had everything we needed and the owner was incredibly helpful with getting our luggage to and from the rental. Would not hesitate to go back!

After arriving and being assisted down the cliff to this delightful cottage, I was completely in awe of this wonderful location. Looking out through the lounge window all I could see was a fantastic stretch of beach that I had simply not expecting to be so beautiful. The sun glistened off the sea as we walked along hand in hand and I wondered if this was just may be....a little slice of paradise. We met Jim the owner on the first night; a wonderfully charismatic man we happily shared a beer with. At this point we had no idea this very gentleman was the very first person to row the Pacific unsupported. Down to earth and straight talking, he was a perfect host. The cliff was a challenge even for us relatively fit 40 somethings! But always worth the effort. The cottage was well equipt and very comfy. It was a wonderful week with some fantastic weather.

In a fantastic location, right on the beach and with extremely friendly, helpful owners. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage.

What a wonderful place to be. The sound of the sea in your bedroom is unforgettable.

The location of this cottage is second to none, the beach is literally below the windows. Everyone was very friendly and did their utmost to make our stay an enjoyable one. Would thoroughly recommend this cottage to anyone who is looking for a quiet break with stunning views.

We have just spent a fabulous week in this cottage. it is literally on the beach and the views are breathtaking. The accomodation is very well equipped and comfortable and although the steep access is challenging we will definitely stay here again.

We stayed recently, knowing the area well living in nearby Plymouth. This place feels like worlds away from the city in a unique secluded location on Tregonhawke beach. We saw every type of weather walking on the beach and along the cliff path to nearby Rame head where you can see Plymouth sound and Looe from the same point on a clear day. Some might find the walk down from the road too much (we would advise keeping luggage to a minimum) but for us this was part of the charm, if it were easier the place might be over-run with tourists. Instead it truly feels like Cornwall's forgotten corner. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly and the accommodation is perfect. We can't wait to visit again.

Location , views and the hospitality was second to none.

It was beautiful and peaceful and the owners were very accommodating. We loved the fact that we were right on the beach. Nothing can compare to the peace and quiet we experienced. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone and would also go back. We had a fantastic time.

Location, right on a lovely beach

A friendly and helpful owner, outstanding location, beautiful area with lots of interesting things to do. Particularly good for active, outdoor people and families with teenagers.

If you can handle the steps (144 of them) and the steep path, this is an amazing place to stay. We were lucky the weather was great, so during the week we had no need to go anywhere else to enjoy ourselves, but simply stayed in the cottage, on the patio, on the beach and in the water. At low tide there is ample time to walk a few miles along the beach and back. And the owner is a legend!

Stunning location right on the beach, can't wait to go back!

Location of property, so near to the seafront and great hosts. They cook really mean fish pies!

The solitude, the constant sound of the sea, proximity to the beach and friendliness of the neighbours, made the climb down the cliff worth it.

We enjoyed the position of the flat close to the beach and sea.

The cottage is in a great location - on a rock on a beach! The weather was incredible for March. The owners cooked us a wonderful fish pie. We liked the friendly manner of the owners.

Great to be so close to the ocean, all weather elements make it good. Owners very friendly and helpful.

We had a fantastic week (helped by the fantastic weather). Great unique location and holiday base. Very friendly and helpful owners on-site. Helps to be fit for the cliff-path walk (!), children loved it too.

We loved the location - a great find, helped by the fantastic weather! Everybody very helpful and friendly and planning a return next summer.

Friendly, helpful hosts. Situation of the cottage right on the beach was amazing.

A stunning location and a wonderful apartment. It had amazing views and it was a perfect holiday.

The location of the property was excellent, just as described in the brochure and was at the bottom of a steep cliff. The owner was excellent in terms of getting our luggage there and back and was very helpful.

Unique setting and close proximity to the beach. The owner was very helpful and welcoming.

Absolutely amazing location! We had everything we needed and the owner was more than helpful and friendly. A brilliant week!
