A boutique historic luxury beach house in Cawsand

A quietly luxurious coastal home perched just above the water between two of Cornwall’s most charming twin villages.

No. 3 The Old School House sits just above the shoreline between Cawsand and Kingsand, with large picture windows and a balcony that look straight out to the bay – the sea, the light and the tide always moving below. It’s a place made for watching the boats, the gulls and the colour of the water shift through the day.

Inside, the atmosphere is calm and considered. A gentle mix of antiques, artwork and collected pieces gives the house warmth and character; soft, high‑quality linens and Noble Isle toiletries introduce a quiet, hotel‑level ease. It’s luxurious, but never precious — everything feels welcoming and thoughtfully done.

Life here is beautifully simple. Wander down the old smuggler’s passage for swims or kayaking in the bay. Take coastal walks directly from the door towards Rame Head. Stroll a few minutes to the bakery for morning pastries, or to one of several pubs, cafés and delis in both villages. You could easily arrive, park the car, and not use it again all week.

The house has its own private section of the historic walled garden with a sheltered terrace and benches — a peaceful spot for morning coffee, reading after a swim, or evening drinks. Dog‑friendly, warm and effortlessly comfortable.

What our guests love...

Every one of our guests always talk about the views! You can’t help but be blown away by the seascape right outside the windows – there is always something to see.

The house has been curated by a creative couple with a passion for antiques, art, reclaimed & natural materials and modern luxurious living, giving it a unique and relaxing feel. The house invites guests to properly relax and is perfect for families and friends to enjoy – whatever the weather.

Spread over 4 spacious floors with over 3000 sq ft there is plenty of room for everyone. And every detail has been thought about to make your stay perfect – from sinkable linen sofas, to a copper luxury bath, granite kitchen island and the hotel quality beds and linens.

So you are welcome to bring your dog, but only 1 small to medium sized pooch allowed – on occasion, two small/medium dogs can be considered by prior discussion, subject to suitability.
