Luxury beach house sleeping 6 - Cawsand/Kingsand

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.
