From the owner

The current Watch House was opened in 1838 by the Coastguards to control smuggling. Located at the heart of the beach, no boat could enter the bay or person move on the beach or harbour wall without being seen from the bay window. You can enjoy these stunning beach, harbour and cliff views whilst relaxing in the modernised first floor watch rooms in comfort unimagined by the Victorian Coastguards.

The Watch House is ideal for a traditional family beach holiday, walking the scenic South West coastal paths to Mevagissey or The Dodman and beyond or as a base for visiting Eden or the Lost Gardens of Heligan or the many other attractions that Cornwall has to offer.

The Watch House stairs were built before modern building regulations and as a Listed Building cannot be changed. The stairs are steep and twist to the left at the top. Please use the 'Contact Owner' button if you have concerns about your mobility and wish to discuss the suitability of the property for you.
