Property code: OC-B584376

This unique coastal inspired timber cabin sits 1 mile from Porthcothan Beach on Cornwall's north coast – a deep inlet flanked by rocky headlands with a broad sweep of sand at low tide. Designed for two, it provides a romantic coastal break along one of the county's quieter stretches of shoreline, where the focus is on sea and sand rather than crowds. At least ten beaches lie along this part of the coast, including Treyarnon Bay (1.5 miles) with its golden sand and the scenic coastal path to Constantine Bay, plus Harlyn Bay (2.5 miles) and Mother Ivey's Bay (3 miles) further around the headland. Bedruthan Steps (3.5 miles) and the Camel Trail (8 miles) are both within reach, the latter offering an easy, scenic cycling route through the Cornish countryside. Padstow (4.5 miles), with its harbour and independent shops, sits beyond the headland. Mawgan Porth Beach (5 miles) and Watergate Bay (7.5 miles) extend the choice even further.

The open-plan living area, kitchen, and dining space sit at the centre of the cabin, with double patio doors drawing in natural light and opening onto the garden. Beside the wood burner, a two-seater sofa and armchair create a cosy spot to unwind; a Smart TV with Netflix and a DVD are on hand for quieter evenings. Rustic and contemporary touches run throughout the interior, giving the cabin a distinct coastal character. Near the patio doors, a dining table and chairs sit ready for meals, while the well-equipped kitchen is alongside. In the large bedroom, a super-king-size zip-and-link bed (that can be made into 2 standard singles if requested) is dressed in 400-thread-count sheets. The bathroom has a shower over the bath and WC, with an enclosed cupboard housing a washing machine.

The private, enclosed garden is designed around a coastal theme with flintstone chips and decorative touches. The loose gravel surface may be uneven underfoot. A large, decked area with a table and chairs for two sits beneath fairy lights, with a wooden rocking chair alongside. At the bottom of the garden, a bench provides a quiet spot to sit with a book. The outdoor kitchen includes a gas BBQ with a plancha grill. Private parking is available for two cars.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lobster Pot. It was in a great location for exploring some of the many coves and was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The owner Ollie was very friendly and welcoming and shared some recommendations with us which were appreciated. We would definitely stay there again.
