Brilliant location even on a typical British week sunshine rain and wind .
The property is well stocked with books and coast guard information which links in with the history of the coast guard cottage .There is a very well written book regarding Smeaton 's light house and its history .There are binoculars for bird watching and a plentiful supply of garden furniture .The beach is a couple of minutes walk away which is brilliant for families.

Toller Meeresblick in einem geschichtsträchtigen Coastguard House
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt im Coastguard Cottage sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft bietet ausreichend Platz für eine Familie von 4-5 Personen. Einmalig ist der Blick aus der Küche, dem Wohnzimmer und dem Platz im Garten. Unser Gastgeber Paul hat uns mit einem Begrüßungs- Cream -Tea und seinen Geschichten über die Vergangenheit und Bedeutung des Old Coastguard Cottages begeistert. Vielen Dank, Paul!
We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely historic place. The Old Coastguard Cottage offers enough space for a family of 4-5 people. Unique and stunning is the sea view from the kitchen, the living room and the garden. Our host Paul gave us a very warm welcome with a Cornish cream tea and we really enjoyed all his stories about this wonderful place. Thank you so much, Paul!
