You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Finest Retreats | Western Watch

Western Watch is a fabulous property located in the heart of Poldark country with incredible, 180-degree sweeping views out across the sea. Inside the bungalow, guests will love the characterful interiors with the vintage-style kitchen, original artwork adorning the walls and the cosy lounge with its wood-burning stove for the cooler autumn evenings. The owner is a local artist who displays her work around the cottage and which can be bought by guests - so you can take a memento home with you should you wish!

Both the kitchen/diner and the living room have concertina doors which open on to the patio and large garden which has the incredible sea views. The garden is enclosed making it an ideal property for guests bringing young children and/or pets. Guests will love sitting out of an evening and enjoying a glass of wine watching the sun set over the sea.

All three of the double bedrooms are located on the ground floor along with the family bathroom which has both a fabulous roll-top bath and a walk-in shower. There is an additional WC.

Guests can enjoy off-road parking with space for up to two cars, as well as wireless internet available throughout the property. Up to two well-behaved pets are welcome.

Western Watch is ideally located for West Cornwall’s incredible coastline and beaches. There are many pubs, restaurants and cafes within easy reach. Pendeen itself is a linear settlement, with an attractive church and an award-winning pub, the North Inn. There are plenty of pubs, restaurants and cafes within walking distance and every other Saturday there is a farmers' market in the centre of the town. Geevor and Levant Mines are popular tourist attractions only a short distance away.

The sandy beach at Portheras Cove is just down the road where the white lighthouse of Pendeen Watch stands on a headland overlooking the bay. The hidden beach of Portheras Cove was recently voted ‘Best Secret Beach’ by The Times newspaper and is an absolute gem within walking distance of the front door.

Needs to up it's game
This property was very expensive for what it is. The house gives the impression very much of being someones home or rather cobbled together holiday let. It was not equipped to the standard that one has come to expect from any holiday let. One white wine glass plus an assortment of others. No kitchen scissors and a jumble of other equipment. Whilst appreciating that the decor was supposed to have vintage appeal the overall effect was dated and Spartan and drab. The view from the kitchen was good but the garden was scruffy and unkempt as was the next door property which I understand is lived in by the owners of this property let. One pint of milk left for us on arrival ... mean we thought. We had spent the previous week in a Sykes holiday cottage at half the price and it was superb. This place needs to make more effort to justify it's price. The only positive thing I could say is that it's location is very good and so this meant that despite of the above we enjoyed our stay. If they wish to continue letting this property, (which I imagine anyhow is a temporary way of making money for the owners) I would suggest a complete update. The current reviews on your site are very misleading and whilst not wishing to be mean I would suggest that this is a more honest one.

The property is beautiful, the garden amazing, never change this .... easy to get to places .. amazing views, very picturesque, felt like home from home. To top it completely and i am being very very picking, some sissors, knife sharpener, and some sun loungers this would have been the cherry on the cake .. but we all loved it and are looking to book for next year. One other thing sofa looks perfect nit so comfy... thank you for letting us stay.
