About this property
Yards from the Coast Path which leads down to Rinsey Cove and within walking distance of the beach is Evergreen, a detached, Grade II listed cottage, with sweeping views over Mounts Bay and west Cornwall. This very special cottage is simply gorgeous. Enter via a small porch, kick off your walking boots and proceed through the double front doors to the large open-plan sitting room where you'll find white-painted beams, beautiful French furnishings and a woodburning stove. The dining area has a huge table with benches/chairs and is ideal for seating the whole family. The sweet galley kitchen has a distinctive range-style cooker, and from here you access a porch which has a door to the garden. Open tread stairs lead to four pretty bedrooms, two romantic king size doubles, one of which has views over the countryside; a single with a 4' antique French bed, and another single with ornate French bed. They share a bright and airy bathroom, whilst on the ground floor there is a shower room. Outside, is a large, peaceful and relaxing garden with a lovely summer house, lawns, shrubs and trees and a patio with a table/chairs and barbecue. The hamlet of Rinsey comprises mostly granite cottages, a cliff-top engine house standing sentinel to its tin mining history and is a short walk from its own little cove, which is owned by the National Trust. Nearby Praa Sands is one of Cornwall's finest sandy beaches and the extremely popular village of Porthleven, with interesting shops, cafes and restaurants sitting around its pretty harbour is within easy reach.
The village of Praa Sands sits on the south coast in between Helston and Marazion. Praa Sands is known for its mile-long sandy beach and excellent surfing conditions. There is a bar/restaurant overlooking the beach the perfect spot for lunch with a view or sunset drinks a Post Office and general stores, beach cafe with fish & chips, and a beach/surf shop stocked with everything you could need for a great day at the beach.

Great for coastal and dog walks. Loads of fantastic places to eat or buy fish in Newlyn to cook up a real treat. The house is well equipped and beautifully styled with lots of home comforts.

Rinsey Cove is a very much a scramble to get down but very beautiful and Praa is also lovely just under 20 min walk to the beach and then further to the lifeguard zone. The cottage is quirky and comfortable and has everything you need for a lovely holiday.
