Mermaid Cottage

St Keverne 2.6 miles.

Mermaid Cottage is a beautiful, detached dwelling tucked away just above the harbour in the charming village of Coverack, Cornwall.

This property is one of a kind that feels like a secret, a thatched-roof retreat with incredible sea views, vintage charm, and all the little touches that make a holiday feel special.

From the moment you spot the blush-pink front door and step through the flower-filled garden, you’ll know you’ve arrived somewhere magical.

Inside, the cottage is full of character, think deep velvet sofas, a crackling woodburning stove, ombre-painted walls, and a window seat that’s perfect for watching the waves roll in with a glass of wine in hand.

The kitchen is a delight, painted in moody Cornish blues, with an electric AGA cooker, a Belfast sink, and a window that frames the sea like a painting.

It’s stocked with all the essentials, making meal time a breeze.

Upstairs, the main bedroom is pure indulgence, a king-size bed and a snug window seat for morning coffee or a good book.

There’s also a friendly single room, perfect for a child or a friend.

And the bathroom?

Savour a moment to indulge in a leisurely soak in the delightful rolltop bath, or for a quick freshen up, rinse off in the handheld shower.

Outside, you’ve got not one but two gardens.

The front is a sunny spot for barbecues and alfresco dinners, while the back garden has a handcrafted summerhouse, the perfect place to watch the sunrise or just soak up the quaint location.

If you can bear to leave the comforts of your new home, the charming village of Coverack awaits with a variety of attractions to explore.

Take advantage of the stunning coastline by kayaking or windsurfing from the harbour's slipway, where you can embrace the thrill of the water and experience the beauty of the Cornish sea.

When hunger strikes, treat yourself to award-winning fish and chips at The Lifeboat or dine at the Paris Hotel for a delightful culinary experience.

Stock up on essentials at the nearby Village Stores, which offer everything from fresh vegetables and meat to fine wine and firewood for those quiet nights in.

For an unforgettable day out, follow the South West Coast Path that practically crosses right in front of your garden gate; venture south-west towards Kennack Sands or head north to Lowland Point, discovering dramatic cliffs, hidden coves, enchanting little hidden beaches, and picturesque fishing villages along the way.

As a quintessential Cornish coastal retreat, Mermaid Cottage is the perfect base from which to explore and experience the delights of this stunning area.
