Frances “We absolutely loved our time on the beach, listening to the waves.”
Yes it’s a steep climb but well worth it for the closeness to the sea. Bus stop at the top enabled us to explore the area & the local ferries. Jim was really kind & helped us with our luggage with the winch, do pack light though. Would definitely return to this wonderful beachside apartment. A++++

Ali “Had a fantastic time.”
Location was stunning. Owners were great. Would highly recommend.

Lorraine “The location is beautiful how ever this apartment is run down and really dirty, the description is nothing like what is on the booking site, the place is not quiet, up stairs is noisy with doors slamming and foot steps and next door you can hear every conversation, no locked door between neighbours, no sun loungers, ourside is unsafe with rubbish building up.”
- Lorraine, June 2024 -
Chris “Really lovely place.”
Jim and Nina were great hosts! Be prepared to walk though but it didn't bother us

Carol “My Spaniel, Zuma, & I had a wonderful holiday here from 2nd December 2023.”
It was also my birthday on 6th December so it was absolutely the best holiday and the best birthday ever

Craig “Location of the cottage was lovely.”
The owner Jim very helpful and accommodating in getting our luggage down to the cottage due to the steep steps down the cliff. However when we got into the cottage we were greeted with unpleasant smell in the kitchen area which we were unable to find source. The cottage in general was dirty & damp, within seconds of myself & my partner taking our shoes & socks off our feet were covered in sand, not sure the place had been hoovered & mopped before our arrival. The kitchen - there was dirty marks around the edges of kitchen and floor & skirting boards, all surfaces & shelves had not been cleaned, the fridge & freeze have started to rust as well as the inside of the microwave, the oven was dirty & door broken. The bathroom - dirty marks still left on the floor & walls, toilet could do with some TLC as it very loose & a new toilet seat is needed, shower area could do with a good deep clean. The living room - mould spores/marks on the curtains & curtain pole starting rust which is starting to mark the curtains at the top, floor areas again generally dirty. The bedroom - fresh clean bed linen & towels were on the bed, however the curtains had the same marks on as the living room, when getting into bed, the bed felt damp each night. I had to clean and hoover everywhere just so I knew it was clean for our stay. I feel this cottage needs a good deep clean as it not like the pictures currently. Also the parking needs to be explained better before booking, you can only park on the main road and have to complete a 15-20min walk depending on how fit you are back up to your car. Coming down isn’t to bad but going up it is a killer, you have around 160 steep cliff side steps then a very steep hill climb along a small service road to get the main road. Location is breathtaking, and worth the decent, I do take exception to paying the price I paid, and being greeted with something that resembles a squat house. Very misleading with the pictures provided and what you are greeted with.

Andrew “What a fantastic place to stay.”
Property was great. Everything you needed was there, for 2 adults and 2 dogs. We had a fabulous time and weather was great. The owner commented on departure that he had cleaners going in. They need to do a better job, I cleaned the place before I left,because we took 2 dogs,so I moved furniture etc, to hoover this had obviously not been done before our stay ,as snacks we had not taken or eaten were under furniture. Also top of kitchen shelves dusty,but apart from this fabulous.
- Andrew, September 2023 -
Ann “Fantastic location cozy cottage.”
Loved every minute of it .
- Ann, August 2023 -
Andrew “Paradise”

Amanda “What a stunning location, we had a wonderful time, our stay was made even nicer by the hosts Jo could not be more welcoming and helpful, it was lovely being away from traffic just listening to the waves of the sea.”
I would highly recommend this place it’s a little piece of heaven.
- Amanda, July 2023 -
Kevin “Beachcomber's Cottage is an amazing place - a corner of heaven!”
- No road noise or passing traffic, just the sounds of the sea. Jo and Jim give a very warm welcome - thank you both. Jo also runs the popular beach cafe - the food is fantastic!
- Kevin, May 2023 -
John “We really enjoyed our relaxing stay at Beachcombers.”
The location was fantastic and Jo was very attentive. We were very grateful for Jim’s help with the luggage. If we can stay fit enough to manage the climb up the cliff, we will definitely book again.
- John, May 2023 -
Mandy “Stunning location which will not disappoint.”
Jo the host was very welcoming and on hand if you had any issues or concerns. The accommodation is very comfortable but what makes this accommodation really stand out is the location. You could not get nearer to the sea if you tried. We will certainly be back as it ticked every box for what we like for a location. Beautiful beach, scenery and plenty of lovely walks with our dog. I would be very surprised if anyone was disappointed with staying at this accommodation.
- Mandy, April 2023 -
Marion “An amazing location right on the beach, so relaxing.”
The steps and cliff path down to the cottage are daunting but t is well worth the effort and the luggage comes down on a hoist so you don't need to worry about that. Best holiday ever.
- Marion, April 2023 -
Kathryn “Beachcombers cottage is perfect if you like the sound of the sea, being within a few steps of the wonderful beach here.”
Have a beach where your dogs are welcome all year round, like peace and quiet and beautiful sunsets. It was really hard to pull ourselves away from this place. Jo & Ricky are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. Jo makes an amazing cup of tea and banana bread to die for, she is an absolute star
- Kathryn, April 2023Thank you so much for your wonderful feed back, We really enjoyed having you stay here. Can't wait to see you again Jo x Property Owner

Jeremy “We were greeted by Jim the friendly owner on arrival helping us with our bags.”
The cottage suited all our needs was well equipped and very clean. Spectacular views beautiful location was heaven! Thank you
- Jeremy, February 2023 -
Angie “I had an absolutely lovely break at Beachcombers Cottage.”
It had everything I needed for my stay and the location was wonderful and just what I needed for a restorative break. I loved being so close to the sea. Whilst the walk back up to the car was a challenge, it was worth it for a walk over to St Michael's Chapel. I would certainly go again. Jim was a really lovely and helpful host and not intrusive at all. Highly recommend this home. Thank you
- Angie, February 2023 -
Catherine “Everything about our stay at Beachcombers was astounding.”
The location was breathtaking and more than worth the steep climb. The cottage itself was comfortable well equipped and perfectly understated. Our host was available if we needed anything whilst allowing us to enjoy our stay in privacy. I would highly recommend Beachcombers to anyone who wants to just step off life's treadmill for a while and reconnect with nature in all its glory.
- Catherine, November 2022 -
Shelley “Wow incredible views certainly a room with outstanding views of the beach and sea.”
Perfect for two active dogs, open your front door and your on the beach. The cottage had everything you need for a relaxing week,perfectly clean with all appliances required. One of our dogs was born blind this did not phase him walking up and down the cliff. There are lots of steps and short walk to reach the top of the hill if your reasonably fit then this cottage is a must, I was able to take brief rest walking up why wouldn’t you turn around and the amazing views just continue. Jim kindly helped us take our large dog crate up the hill using his winch thank you Jim much appreciated. Husband spent possibly the first day reading Jim’s incredible book…. I will say no more it’s a must read husband was so impressed he asked for a selfie with Jim!! We didn’t need anything during our stay however I don’t doubt Jim Nini would do anything to make our stay more comfortable it was more than comfortable Just a tip bring a torch if you arrive later in the evening after a day of enjoying the beautiful views of Cornwall . Words cannot describe the beauty of this gorgeous cottage Thank you Jim Nini for allowing us for this incredible experience
- Shelley, October 2022 -
James “Amazing location , felt like we had our own private beach.”
Sat on the decking watching the sunset and the waves rolling in with a cold beer, what more can you want from a holiday.10 out of 10.Thanks Jim and Nina
- James, October 2022 -
Julie “We had relaxing short stay unfortunately had to leave early member of family very ill.”
Beachcombers is very comfy with stunning views. One day we had the whole beach to ourselves and our two dogs. Jim kindly was there to meet us on our arrival helped with luggage. Because we had to leave on the Wednesday he was away so we had to get luggage back to car it was hard work up the steps but we did it slowly. Hope to be back next year thank you Jim
- Julie, October 2022 -
Jo “Our new favourite place everything about this holiday was amazing we will definitely be going back .”
. Jim and Nina were fantastic to and on hand to help us with our bags on arrival and the last day to .. It was very easy to book .So will use the site again to
- Jo, August 2022 -
Linda “What a find!”
A beautiful cottage right on the beach. A perfect getaway for a couple and dogs. The cottage was clean, well equipped and beautifully situated. Jim was on hand when we arrived and helped us with our luggage on the winch. We would recommend packing lightly! We definitely had too many clothes with us. If you prepare well you really don’t need to venture away from the cottage/beach. It took about 10 minutes to walk down the steep steps and a little longer going back up. We will definitely be booking again. Lovely walks, good weather (mostly) and in our opinion best property on the cliff.
- Linda, August 2022 -
Christopher “WOW. What an amazing place.”
The pictures just can't do it justice. Nothing to be heard but the sound of the waves from every room. Wandering down to the beach barefoot having sipped coffee on the patio is a delight. The steps up the cliff are steep but can be raced up (by my husband) or taken at a more leisurely pace (by me with our elderly dogs). Can't wait to return.
- Christopher, July 2022 -
Sarah “A comfortable, cosy stay.”
Excellent location. Perfect place to really relax.
- Sarah, October 2021 -
Tina “It was a fantastic experience, location was out of this world.”
The cottage however could do with a little tlc. We could only open one of the windows in the property. The photos must be old ones as the outside does not represent the pictures on your website. The decked area adjacent to the cottage resembled a builders yard with timber and scaffold poles around it. The decking hand rail needs attention. There was a broken plastic shed in pieces on the ricks bedside the decked area. However the bed was fantastic.
- Tina, September 2021 -
Clare “It’s a little slice of paradise and such a memorable place to stay.”
Enjoyed every minute and the Host Jim and Nina were two of the nicest and helpful people you could meet . My two dogs are now sad that we are home
- Clare, September 2021 -
Karen “Good bits - Location is what this place is all about and it has that in spades!”
Being able to take your dog with a cuppa on the beach, tide permitting, in the morning before it gets busy was priceless. Not so good bits - there is no allocation parking. The steps are steep and hard work so my advice is take everything you need for the week so you don't have to climb them too often. There has been some storm damage outside of the property so the view to the side is not great.. lots of rubbish and broken sheds etc. The oven was in desperate need of a good clean and so was the towel rail in the bathroom.. It was very rusty and not in a usable condition at all. Overall great location but beachcombers could be so much better given a bit more tlc.
- Karen, July 2021 -
Brian “The owners Jim and Nina were welcoming and fantastic hosts.”
- Brian, June 2021 -
David “A truly unique apartment, breathtaking location, alongside the cliff face climb.”
Would return in a heartbeat, really loved this place, a 10+.
- David, April 2021 -
Melissa “This property is one of a kind.”
Absolutely incredible location and very friendly host.
- Melissa, October 2020 -
Michelle “This is the perfect place to relax away from the stresses of life!”
The beach is stunning and quiet for taking wonderful walks with miles of sandy shores and the sunsets and unpolluted night skies are stunning. The accommodation is cosy and equipped with all you need. There is a very steep climb down to the accommodation so you need to be reasonably fit but the views are beautiful. When the tide is high it laps against the walls of the Beachcomber’s so make sure you don’t get caught out by the high tides whilst walking. The most wonderful place to stay to just kick back and relax. Would highly recommend!
- Michelle, October 2020 -
Darryl “What a lovely place by the beach.”
Living in the midlands being able to hear and see the sea for a week was a great escape from it all and we can’t wait to return. The beach is over 3 miles long and it’s dog friendly all year round.
- Darryl, October 2020 -
Elizabeth “Everything !”
! The ever-changing skies the stunning views ...cafe on the beach with friendly staff and chips to die for ...what more could you ask ....One thing you do need to be fit and agile to negotiate the steep cliff up and down !
- Elizabeth, August 2020 -
Mike “A great place to stay very quiet and secluded The steps down and up should not be underestimated as I found them hard work .”
.......but the beach the view and the location make it worthwhile We went in November and were very luck with the weather , but I can imagine the long summer days on the beach would be amazing Check it out you won’t be disappointed
- Mike, November 2019 -
Lynn “Beautiful location and cottage.”
The walk up and down to the cottage was not for the unfit though this was alluded to in the description. We didn't realise the importance of the tide timings which we had to take into account when planning our day. Despite this we would definitely recommend this property to those who love the sea.
- Lynn, August 2019 -
M “Fabulous”
- M, May 2019 -
Fiona “Great place to stay, the owners where very friendly and helpful.”
Great to be right on the beach and to get away from everything. Beach is fantastic and so is the local area.
- Fiona, May 2019 -
Tracey “This place is beautiful and I would highly recommend if you love the ocean and want to relax and recharge the batteries.”
the cottage is beautiful and well furnished. But please believe you need to be fit and have no mobility problems, as the walk down the cliff is not easy, the slopped part is steep but tarmacked so is an even surface, but the steps are uneven and steep with no hand rail.
- Tracey, April 2019 -
Stephanie “The setting was perfect for a chilled out break on the beach.”
Lovely rustic accommodation full of little extra's to make your stay comfortable. The journey down (and up) the cliff is tiring with many steep steps but is well worth the effort for a truely awsome beach holiday. The area is quiet and is ideal for walkers and those who like to visit pretty villages and hidden coves.
- Stephanie, January 2019 -
Nick “A wonderful cottage in a superb situation.”
Excellent hosts.
- Nick, October 2018 -
Yvonne “Beachcombers is the perfect place to regenerate body and soul - from having the time to stop and watch the ever changing scenery to the built in work out of the steps and trail.”
Having the cafe next door and the surf school means that having got onto the beach if you don’t want to leave until it’s time to go home, you can stay on what feels like at times your very own private beach resort. Jim and Nina are lovely hosts.
- Yvonne, July 2018 -
Steve “More needs to be said about the cliff path down.”
Whilst this did not bother us, it consists of three sections of steep Tarmac road then 200 steps down which again are very steep. Going back up to your car takes approx 20-25mins. Thankfully there is a hoist to deal with your luggage.
- Steve, January 2018 -
Richard “A first class rental.”
Met by the owners and they helped us all the way. The location is idealic and tranquil and met all our expectations. This week was such a relaxing experience.
- Richard, May 2017 -
Andrew “Incredibly beautiful location.”
Cottage exactly as described. Fabulous beach walks in both directions. Owners extremely nice and helpful.
- Andrew, April 2017 -
Rhonda “Fantastic location, beautiful views, walks .”
.. Perfection for what we wanted, a stress free holiday ..
- Rhonda, February 2017 -
Andrea “The location of Beachcombers cottage is fantastic.”
You could not find a holiday cottage closer to the sea. The cottage itself was really comfortable and the owners were very helpful. Our two dogs are very sad now they are back home.
- Andrea, November 2016 -
Julie “The holiday was fantastic everything we wanted, perfect for the dogs.”
Jim & Nina were very nice & helpful, our only disappointment was the fire didn't work & Jim said he would fix it but never did. Obviously he is a busy man so did not remind him further. But on the whole the place was exceptional.
- Julie, October 2016 -
David “Wow! what can we say fantastic, we loved saying in the Beachcombers cottage, amazing views from the top of the cliff, long walk up and down but well worth every step to the splendid beach.”
The cottage is right next to the sea to be so close to the ocean and hear the sound of the waves is just brilliant. Lovely walks with our dog Fudge, great places to eat which are dog friendly, Jim and Nina are great hosts, Jim makes you laugh. Can use the facilities at the camp site at the top of the cliff. We had such a good time we will be back. Mary Dave and Fudge
- David, October 2016 -
Philip “We have spent a very relaxing week in a magical location.”
- Philip, September 2016 -
Susan “It was very relaxing at Beachcombers Cottage !”
everything you needed was supplied, help with luggage by the owner Jim was a great help. We took enough supplies to last us the week,even a small B.B.Q so that we didn`t have to go up the hill once we arrived. The weather was brilliant our dogs did not wont to leave the beach and the same goes for us! Beachcombers is a little Paradise by the sea !!1 would not hesitate to recommend , in fact our friends are booking for next year. We hope to go back soon.
- Susan, September 2016 -

It was a fun place to stay and the dogs loved the beach. It was nice to fall asleep to the sound of the waves.
- William, April 2016 -
Jude “We absolutely fell in love with this property.”
We have stayed in various properties around Cornwall and this has to be one of the best .The owners were really friendly and helpful but left us to ourselves unless we needed anything. We are going to return.
- Jude, February 2016 -
Trudi “The location of Beachcomber's Cottage is obviously amazing.”
It was not an area I had previously visited and now lament how many times I have driven past this area in order to holiday further down in to Cornwall. The owner was exceptionally helpful & similarly amazing It was great to find such an incredible bolt hole and to be able to take my two beloved spaniels made it the best UK based holiday I think I can ever remember. True relaxation in its purest form. I had booked to return within minutes of arriving.
- Trudi, February 2016 -
Mary “Absolutely brilliant position -could not be bettered if you love the sea.”
it is a long way down and of course up the cliff so I could not recommend property if there are any difficulties in climbing slopes or stairs but this is warned beforehand. if this is manageable, the best place ever with very helpful owners.
- Mary, June 2015 -
Barry “What a fantastic location and our hosts were great and very helpful.”
Where the place is situated was fabulous and we expected to have paths and steps to go down. A lovely place for a holiday, we will go back again.
- Barry, March 2015 -
John “The location is fantastic, with unbelievable scenery, the owners are helpful and unobtrusive, the cottage, despite being refurbished was clean and comfortable, and it was an ideal location for our two dogs.”

- Judy, September 2014 -
Colin “Amazing location, right on beach.”
Very welcoming and accommodating owner, helpful but not intrusive - perfect. Loved the sound of waves so close. Walked for hours on the beach right outside.
- Colin, December 2013 -
Sabine “A wonderful place to stay.”
- Sabine, July 2013 -

!
- Jen, November 2012 -
Debbie “The owners were very helpful and friendly and we would definitely recommend.”
The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed.
- Debbie, September 2012 -
Janet “Amazing holiday location.”
The owner treated us like his family. Couldn't have wished for a more perfect holiday.
- Janet, September 2012 -
Veronique “The location of the cottage was amazing.”
Living on the beach made the experience truly original and magical and made us feel extremely special and privileged to be there.
- Veronique, July 2012 -
Robert “The location was stunning.”
The owner, who lives in the same building, was very helpful.
- Robert, July 2012 -
Margaret “Wow what a fantastic holiday location - just perfect.”

- Margaret, July 2012 -
Vicky “The location of the cottage was special in itself.”

Lena “The wonderful position and view and the fact that it allowed dogs.”
Bright, friendly and stunning location. The good weather was an unexpected bonus. The winch to deliver and collect luggage etc was an absolute treasure.
- Lena, October 2011 -
Lorna “The fantastic location!”
The friendliness of the owner and cafe staff and generally a lovely feeling of homeliness.
- Lorna, August 2011 -
Stephanie “Everything about this holiday was perfect, from the position of the cottage to the most beautiful outlook.”
The dogs was made most welcome by the owners of the property and the on-site lifeguards. The owner was always available if we required anything. This could possibly be the most perfect place on earth.
- Stephanie, June 2011 -
Amanda “Fabulous position on the beach.”
Lovely sound of crashing waves and beach all to ourselves. Nice helpful owner and all very friendly.
- Amanda, May 2011 -
Jane “The location of the property is amazing.”
Not for those that can't cope with the walk down the steep cliff but for those that can - fantastic. The dogs loved playing on the beach which was not crowded, in fact we hardly saw anyone else on it.
- Jane, May 2011 -
Sarah “Our stay in Beachcomber's cottage was a very positive experience.”
We had everything we needed to ensure our stay was comfortable. The fantastic location right on the edge of an unspoiled beach was very special. We enjoyed the peace and quiet, with just the sound of the sea outside the window. Access via a steep climb was a challenge, however, this just added to the remoteness and general atmosphere. We still managed to climb the path everyday to visit the many beauty spots in the area without problems. The owner was unobtrusive but very friendly, and was a great help with our bags at the end of our holiday. He gave us excellent advice and directions including emailing photographs of the pathway down to the cottage and loads of information about local facilities and places to visit. Our two dogs were made welcome and had a blast on the beach every day. The area itself is a plethora of watery inlets to explore and the wildlife is abundant. We found several lovely walks nearby, both along the rugged coastline and across unspoiled countryside. Overall we couldn't have asked for more, can't wait to visit again!

About the location
WABERTHWAITE
Millom 11 miles; Coniston 24 miles.
Set in a bowl of hills at the head of a tidal creek that leads to the Hamoaze, opposite the great naval city of Plymouth, Millbrook is located on the Rame Peninsula, "Cornwall's Forgotten Corner". Bounded by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea, the area is deeply rural and designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a good range of shops and pubs, while close by are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you to Plymouth. Along the southern edges of the peninsula are miles of beautiful walks with glorious views of Rame Head. Just a mile south of Millbrook lies Whitsand Bay with its miles of uncrowded sandy RNLI patrolled beach and dramatic cliffs. A superb base for discovering the wild side of Cornwall.
Note: Children must be supervised due to proximity of open beach and steep cliff path.
Note: Property accessed only via steep uneven cliff path and approximately 160 steps, which may not be suitable for those with limited ability.
Note: Winch for assistance with luggage available from May 1st to September 30th each year - outside this time the winch may not be available.
Note: The beach is dog friendly throughout the year.
