Description
Blissfully tucked away alongside rolling green fields, Longships offers a tranquil holiday base just a scenic stroll from the golden beaches of Rock and the hidden cove of Porthilly. Be among the first to stay in this newly furnished retreat and experience the perfect blend of country and coastal living.
Follow a pretty footpath to Porthilly, a lesser-known gem where a picture-perfect church overlooks the water and an oyster farm nestles against the shoreline. Just beyond, Rock’s sweeping sands invite family beach days where you can explore the dunes, paddle in calm waters, or simply soak up the sea air.
Inside, Longships is a haven of contemporary comfort. The stylish yet relaxed open-plan living space centres around a striking feature fireplace, perfectly placed beneath a wall-mounted TV - ideal for cosy evenings in. The dining area, with its statement pendant lighting and chunky wooden table, sets the scene for long, laughter-filled family meals, while the adjoining modern kitchen is fully equipped for effortless holiday feasts.
For quieter moments, a separate snug offers a cosy retreat, perfect for film nights and games. Here, a plush corner sofa doubles as a bed, providing extra space for guests.
Step outside and the south-facing garden becomes your private sanctuary. Unwind beneath the pergola on the rattan sofa, fire up the barbecue for al fresco dining, or simply listen to the gentle trickle of the stream below. A sheltered courtyard at the front is the perfect spot for an afternoon cream tea or a refreshing Cornish tipple in the sunshine.
As the day winds down, four beautifully appointed bedrooms promise restful nights. Two generous doubles boast chic en-suites, while two charming twins offer flexibility for families. Bold coastal tones, crisp linens and calming countryside views set the scene for total relaxation.
Named after the Longships lighthouse standing tall off Land’s End, this coastal retreat offers peace and adventure in equal measure. For larger groups, Longships can be booked alongside Hawkers next door, accommodating up to 19 guests in total.
