Mermaid Cottage is a picture-perfect detached retreat perched just above the harbour in the heart of Coverack, with breathtaking sea views and a truly special atmosphere.
It’s the kind of place that feels like a well-kept secret, full of character, comfort, and thoughtful touches that make it feel like home from the moment you arrive.
As you pass through the flower-filled garden and spot the blush-pink front door, you’ll know you’ve found somewhere magical.
Inside, the cottage is warm and welcoming, with deep velvet sofas, a crackling woodburning stove, and ombre-painted walls that add a splash of personality.
There’s even a window seat where you can curl up with a glass of wine and watch the waves roll in.
The kitchen is a joy to cook in, painted in rich Cornish blues and featuring an electric AGA, Belfast sink, and a window that perfectly frames the sea.
It’s well-stocked with everything you need, so whether you’re cooking a full meal or just making tea, you’ll feel right at home.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a cosy haven with a king-size bed and a snug window seat — ideal for morning coffee or a quiet read.
There’s also a charming single room, great for a child or an extra guest.
The bathroom is a real treat, with a freestanding rolltop bath for long, relaxing soaks and a handheld shower for quick refreshes.
Outside, you’ll find two lovely gardens.
The front is perfect for sunny barbecues and alfresco meals, while the back garden features a handcrafted summerhouse — a peaceful spot to enjoy the sunrise or simply unwind in the quiet.
When you’re ready to explore, the village of Coverack is right on your doorstep.
Try your hand at kayaking or windsurfing from the harbour, or enjoy a bite to eat at local favourites like The Lifeboat (famous for its fish and chips) or the Paris Hotel.
The Village Stores has all your essentials, from fresh produce to fine wine and firewood for quiet nights in.
And don’t miss the South West Coast Path, which passes just beyond the garden gate.
Head south to Kennack Sands or north to Lowland Point, and discover hidden coves, dramatic cliffs, and charming fishing villages along the way.
Whether you're after adventure or relaxation, Mermaid Cottage is the perfect base for soaking up the best of Cornwall’s coast.
