Pump Cottage and Annexe, Gwithian

About this property

For those of us lucky enough to have stumbled across Gwithian during our Cornish travels, we know that it’s a very special place indeed...and for those yet to discover its beauty; a truly magical experience awaits! Wild and unspoilt, Gwithian’s soft sandy stretch and wave-lined blue waters invite visitors to soak up a truly breath-taking beach holiday atmosphere while the nearby village with its charming atmosphere and countryside setting, is just the place to escape life’s busy agendas.

The main cottage is set over two floors and includes a spacious family bathroom along with four upstairs bedrooms (two doubles and two twins) while downstairs there’s a light-filled and stylish living room with French doors leading out to the garden and a log burner to keep the room cosy during cooler weather.

The home’s farmhouse-style kitchen features a cast iron cooking stove as well as a large dining table with views out to the garden so for family meals or spending time together, this room creates a wonderfully convivial heart of the home. Guests who need to stay in touch with their businesses while on holiday will find that the purpose-built ground floor office space offers a quiet place to work from, while outside, a fantastic garden with lawn, paved terrace, furniture and BBQ invites fresh air dining and relaxation in the sun.

The garden is also home to the delightful ‘Crab Shack’ which has its own entrance, bedroom (with wood-burner), kitchenette and en-suite shower room, and is the perfect solution for multigenerational family groups or for guests who would like additional privacy during their stay.

Home to two surf schools that offer lessons and equipment hire, Gwithian is ideal for those wanting to either try out the sport or hone their skills. Low tide exposes an array of rock and sand pools which are perfect for little ones to explore, and miles of golden sand means grown-ups and children can run free or paddle in the shallows. Off the sand and up on the Towans, visitors can picnic or barbecue to their hearts’ content while taking in the superb views across Godrevy headland and lighthouse.
