Description

This substantial seaside holiday villa, set on the hillside with commanding views over Praa Sands Beach, is perfectly located for family holidays on the coast as well as for walkers wanting to explore the South West Coast Path directly from your front door. The glistening, white, expanse of sand backed by dunes is a delight and there is so much room to spread out, you'll be able to find your own quiet spot to enjoy. With a little path accessible down to the beach just outside the house, you can pack up your picnic and beach equipment leaving your car behind. This rugged corner of the south coast is very unspoiled and from here you can take day trips out to explore the Lizard Peninsula or pop to the north coast parking at St Erth and catch the train to St Ives. 

Uplands is found slightly off the beaten track along a private lane and set across two levels with most rooms benefitting from far-reaching sea views. Open your windows and listen to the sound of the waves crashing on the shoreline. Enjoy a sundowner on the deck watching the sunset or on those stormy days, the sun room is the perfect spot to weather watch. Decorated in coastal hues and offering three bedrooms, two shower rooms, parking for two cars and two woodburners to provide that out-of-season comfort and cosiness, it's the perfect place all year round. The temperate climate in this part of Cornwall allows exotic plants to flourish and the seaside garden planting is a reflection of this.

Reviews

The location was fantastic and the views were stunning. Lovely sound of the sea made our holiday very relaxing.

Mrs M,

The cottage had a very good first impression having driven a long way on a wet day. It was comfortable and well equipped and inviting to spend a week on holiday. All the rooms have stunning views of the beach which is only a short walk away. The local shop was friendly and stocked with essentials, and we also hired boards and kayaks at a reasonable cost from the knowledgeable and friendly hire centre. We enjoyed the coast path both East and West from the cottage. We had some meals out but also cooked a few times in the well equipped kitchen and enjoyed eating looking over the beach. The downstairs shower is useful from coming back wet from the beach. The bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds. The car parking space is tight for 2 cars - we had a Fiesta and a Kuga. 2 large cars would not fit, or have space to turn around if next door also had 2 cars. We enjoyed our stay, and would recommend.

Past Customer,

Fantastic location close to the beach with an incredible view. Very comfortable, cosy property. Beware steep garden and steps not suitable for very young children or elderly

Location

Praa Sands (pronounced Pray or Prah) is a village and beach located a few miles north of Porthleven and a few miles south of Marazion (home of St Michaels Mount). Famed for its fantastic waves and glorious mile-long sandy beach, it is a popular destination for visitors. With a beach café, golf club, village shop and pub, Praa Sands is the perfect place for a relaxing beach holiday. As well as its own brilliant white sands, there are also two neighbouring beaches; Rinsey Cove and Kenneggy Cove.

Praa Sands is situated between the Lizard Peninsula (the most southerly point in the UK) and the far west of Cornwall, making it easy to explore both of these stunning areas. Head west and explore St Michael’s Mount and Land’s End and experience the amazing art scene and fabulous food of St Ives. Or head south to the rugged Lizard Peninsula and walk the spectacular South West Coast Path. There are many idyllic little villages to explore in this beautiful part of Cornwall.
