Reviews

  • "Perfect for a quiet and peaceful retreat! We had a beautiful weekend at The Lookout - like a home away from home. The beach is just a few mins walk down the road - really private and picturesque. Highly recommend if you're looking for a few days away from the hustle and bustle of city life. Thank you to Meg for being a wonderful host "

  • "Idyllic little hideaway a stone’s throw from the beach. We loved our stay, had everything we needed and enjoyed sitting out on the deck in the afternoon sun after our long walks along the salt path. Thank you Meg! We hope to come again"

  • "I really enjoyed my time here, it was so peaceful. It was such a lovely way to end my trip travelling around the U.K. The weather was lovely as was the host. It was the perfect spot to walk some of the South West Coast Path, which i did over several days, as well as swimming, relaxing and enjoying the local coast. I felt really at home here in Cornwall, Thanks again Meg, i would definately stay here again, blessings Shannon"

Full Property Description

Experience a modern take on coastal living at The Lookout, a beautifully transformed 24ft container cabin designed to maximize natural light, space, and panoramic views towards Porthcothan Bay. Set in its own private, south-facing elevated spot, this stylish retreat combines clean industrial lines with warm, Scandinavian-inspired interiors.

Ascend the entryway steps into a bright, open-plan interior anchored by a fully fitted kitchen. Further inside, the main living area features a plush sofa and a crackling log burner, making it an inviting haven after a day along the Southwest Coast Path. Sliding glass doors draw outward onto a private, raised timber balcony, the ideal vantage point for taking in morning ocean breezes or enjoying a quiet evening drink overlooking the valley below.

Beyond the living zone lies a calm bedroom space with a double bed and wardrobe storage, leading into a light-filled en-suite bathroom with a full walk-in shower.

Outdoors, steps descend to a private garden lawn complete with barbecue facilities. Positioned just 100 meters from the sands of Porthcothan Bay, The Lookout offers a uniquely elevated seaside escape (strictly adults only; no children or pets).
