The Crow's Nest - A Cosy Village Cottage with Stunning Sea Views

Situated in the heart of the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand on the Rame Peninsula, Cornwall, this self-catering chalet cabin offers total privacy and breathtaking sea views, looking out across the bay towards Plymouth Sound and the hills of Dartmoor beyond.


Hidden in the heart of the twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand. As soon as you open the door into the property you are in another world, offering complete privacy and seclusion, this charming chalet boasts breathtaking sea views over the bay. Gaze out over the shimmering waters across to Plymouth and as far as the rolling hills of Dartmoor.

Buy some freshly baked croissants from the nearby bakery and start your day with a leisurely breakfast on the sun-kissed terrace, taking in the fresh sea breeze and the ever-changing coastal view.

As the evening unfolds, indulge in a tranquil soak and relax in the outdoor bathtub, where you can unwind beneath the open sky, surrounded by the peaceful ambiance of nature. Whether you're seeking a romantic escape, serene retreat, or just visiting family and friends this chalet offers an unparalleled blend of comfort, seclusion, and spectacular scenery with sea views from every window.

Cornwall’s Forgotten Corner on the Rame Peninsula is perfect for relaxing and enjoying a holiday to remember. A designated area of outstanding natural beauty with so much to offer.

There's a lot to do without wandering too far and a week could easily be lost exploring the charming streets, walking the famous coastline or relaxing on the beach. Walkers are spoilt for choice and can pick up the South West Coast Path in both directions. The calm sheltered bay is perfect for swimming, canoeing or paddle boarding.

Mount Edgcumbe’s country park starts at the top of the village and you can walk to the famous 16th century house and visit its beautiful gardens. Take a ferry from Cawsand beach to the historic Barbican in Plymouth or from Cremyll to The Royal William Yard, buzzing with restaurants and artisan shops. Locally, there are five pubs, three coffee shops and a choice of
places to eat in the evening.

Crow's Nest is ideally placed for short stays for Passing Out Parades at Raleigh or weddings at Polhawn Fort or Mt Edgcumbe Park as well as a romantic break or maybe you just want to go off grid and relax and re wind. If so this really is the place for you.
Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a kitchen, a patio, and a refrigerator. Change of towels is available on request.

A cosy getaway in a beautiful location. Crow’s Nest had all that we needed for a short break away. Great to explore some of the surrounding area with some excellent walk info sheets to help us plan our outings. Coffee from The Old Bakery was a highlight, as was the outdoor bath!

A perfect place to relax with stunning panoramic views over the sea. The terrace is a great place to sit and unwind, with the outdoor bath and added treat. The cabin is tastefully decorated right down to the fabulous Cornishware pottery. Can't recommend highly enough.

Thank you for a lovely stay. The Crow's Nest has the most incredible view and is very comfortable. It was a bonus being so close to the coastal path and a short stroll away from the shops/ pubs. The accommodation had everything we needed and the description and communication from Nick was great.

Wonderfully place with a spectacular view on the bay. Very clean, all needed furniture and very large terrace, enough covered to take an aperitif under the rain. Perfect for a couple No specific parking for the apartment but as a city's inhabitants, we are never afraid of finding a parking place in the evening 😉

Crows Nest Cawsand

The chalet is delightful and beautifully situated. All it lacks is a wardrobe, though its hard to see where one could be fitter in the bedroom. If a couple want a real break from the hassle this is absolutely ideal and we will rebook.

Great secret hideaway

Very private chalet in a pretty spot high above the middle of the two villages. Just a short walk (though including quite a lot of well-maintained steps) to the deli and several eateries. It fully lived up to our expectations as the photos in the property description - both of the chalet and the views from it - give a true impression.

A little piece of heaven

The crows nest really is a little nest, warm welcoming and has everything you need including fantastic views lots of wonderful walks and places to eat and drink. But if you just want to hide away you have all the privacy you need. Can’t wait to return

View from the Nest

Been visiting the Crow's Nest for several years now and never get tired of the brilliant view across Plymouth Sound. Kingsand and Cawsand always welcoming with friendly residents and decent pubs. Great network of ferries for easy access to Plymouth and trips down the Tamar. I'll be back next year, as long as I can still climb those steps!

My wife and I spent a week in the rental on a family holiday in Cornwall. The cottage was absolutely perfect for us and would recommend to any couple. It is cosy and nicely designed. Highlights are of course the views and terrace area outside. It is quite small with limited storage space for clothes etc but we easily stored them under the bed. And make sure you are ok to climb the 66 steps up to the cottage a few times a day :)

Fantastic little place, fantastic views

What a fantastic little place, the views were amazing. A very secluded little place with decked area outside and patio below with sun loungers. The sun rise from the decked area was amazing (on the one morning we had clear skies). The accommodation was perfect, everything you could possibly need and very clean. Sea views from the bedroom and living room. Even the steps down to the fantastic village weren’t so bad. We would definitely recommend

Review

The Crows Nest was a sweet, comfy, pretty, well appointed but oh so small property. Gorgeous views outweighed the fact that there were only a few hooks on the wall with clothes hangers to store your clothes. Kingsand and Cawsand were a delight. Good pubs & village shops, Cornish atmosphere, friendly locals & beautiful location. We had a lovely stay but it felt expensive. But that view was probably worth it.
