About this property
On the top floor of Fort Picklecombe, No.66 is a light and airy apartment with sensational right-out-to-sea views. Binoculars are essential here as there is so much fascinating shipping activity, possibly dolphins, certainly seals and cormorants to observe. A perfect retreat for couples or small family. Walk through from an outer hall with plenty of room for coats, boots and surfboards to an open-plan living/dining room and galley kitchen all with those amazing views. Step through the patio doors to the balcony and gaze at the panoramic view from Plymouth in the east and along the Cornish coast in the west. There are two double bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and one with en suite shower-room, both with views over the well ordered gardens; family bathroom. A wonderful place for walking, daydreaming and relaxing. A five minute walk from the Coastal Path or to Mount Edgecumbe Parks 800 acre estate. Excellent pubs in the pretty villages of nearby Kingsand and Cawsand. Why not catch the pedestrian ferry from nearby Cremyll to Plymouth and explore its historic waterfront.
The twin villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, with narrow streets winding between pastel-coloured cottages, lie on the Rame Peninsula just 5 miles from Plymouth

The views are fantastic providing a panoramic view of every thing going on in the very busy chanel. Our only comment is we wished that there was a washing machine. I would highly recommend the apartment and its location being within easy walking distance of the villages of Kingsand, Cawsand and Crymel. We enjoyed the ferry from Cawsand to Plymouth. We enjoyed our visit so much we have booked a return visit for next Yr.
