This divine luxury cottage in Cornwall, with bags of traditional features, dates back to the 16th Century and is nestled moments from the surf in St Agnes. With hidden coves, engine houses and lovely coastal walks literally on your doorstep, it's no wonder this was a place that inspired Poldark creator Winston Graham.

In the Area
Nestled a stone's throw from Trevaunance Cove in St Agnes, Sea Thatch is perfectly positioned for coastal adventures along the South West Coast Path. Set on the dramatic north Cornish cliffs, Wheal Coates is one of the county's most iconic mining sites and a recognised UNESCO World Heritage Site. Further along the coast path, you'll find Chapel Porth, a National Trust owned beach with a lovely café - be sure to try their hedgehog ice creams. At low tide, you can even take a stroll to neighbouring Porthtowan beach. For days at the beach, you're truly spoilt for choice, with an array of sandy shores just a short drive away. Portreath and Gwithian's 3-mile stretch of golden sand lie to the west of St Agnes, while to the north, relish sun-soaked moments at Perranporth, home to the only bar on the beach. After exploring the north Cornish coast, return to vibrant St Agnes, where you're spoilt for choice with places to dine. A short walk from Sea Thatch, Genki serves locally roasted coffee alongside a nourishing menu from breakfast to lunch. For treats on-the-go, the award-winning St Agnes Bakery tempts with delicious pasties and sausage rolls, while sun-soaked days are best spent watching the world go by from The Tap House's quirky Hawaiian inspired terrace. As the sun sets, head to Schooners for wood fired pizzas and a taste of Verdant's latest small batch brews. On Sundays, a visit to The Peterville Inn is a must for their mouth-watering Sunday lunches, where booking in advance is highly recommended.
