About this property

Hawkins - A Coastal Cottage with Hot Tub & Stunning Views

Located in the middle of our three Coastguard Cottages, Hawkins is a perfect place to while away long afternoons, or cosy winter nights. This 2 bedroom terraced house with a 45ft garden facing the sea features a south facing conservatory with dining room table and chairs overlooking the garden and the English Channel, a view that can be enjoyed from the seating in the barbecue area or from the hot tub just off the conservatory perfect for long summer evenings. The front gate at the bottom of the garden is just a few steps away from the beach. Hawkins sleeps four people, with an ocean facing double master bedroom and light twin room.

Entrance to this rustic, old fashioned and charming cottage is gained around the back and accessed with a key found in the key minder next to the back door.
There is parking for 1 car, and this is located outside the garages alongside the cottages.
On the ground floor of Hawkins you will find a spacious front room with log fire, 2 comfy sofas, an LED satellite TV and freeview box with high speed Fibre Broadband via Wi-Fi. The conservatory also has a comfortable sofa to enjoy the view from.
To the rear of the property you will find a small but well furnished Kitchen equipped with electric hob, oven and microwave and a stable door leading to a courtyard containing a washing shed with modern washing machine. There is also an outside washing line provided.
Just off the kitchen is the bathroom with shower, washbasin and toilet.
Upstairs at Hawkins (via some quite steep stairs) there is a charming twin/double to the rear overlooking the courtyard and a homely double master bedroom with a perfectly south sea and garden view.

A lovely break
My husband and I stayed in "Hawkins" cottage at Portwrinkle and we couldn't have asked for more. It was perfect for us and the cottage had everything we needed and was nicely decorated and well laid out. The hot tub was a great feature. One of the reasons we chose this cottage is because it has a conservatory overlooking the sea, in case of inclement weather. However, it was a beautiful week so we made full use of the terrace and garden. Our dog also enjoyed his stay and the lovely beach walks and SW Coast Path nearby. A lovely break!

We didn’t want to leave
We booked the cottage near to my partners work for his 40th, it was a perfect location. Hot tub was amazing and main bedroom was more than we could wish for in a comfortable stay. We had everything we needed. Would recommend for those who love an adventure on the coastal paths although they are steep. We will def love to visit again

short November break in Portwrinkle
Portwrinkle is very peaceful at this time of year no pub or shop and a dead end road. Lovely. Great pub at the top of the hill in Crafthole the Finnygook. Need to book. Cottage fine with views of the sea. The stairs are quite steep so if not very agile could be a problem. Cottage very warm and snug but there were no curtains across the back of the cottage. No coat hooks. Small downstairs bathroom but manageable. No upstairs loo. There is a telegraph pole right in the line of view for the two cottages which has been artfully not included in photos. Still a nice view. Had an inhouse massage which was wonderful highly recommend. All dealings with Portwrinkle holidays excellent. Coast path passes the door. Lots of garden furniture. Only managed to sit outside once but it was November. Fabulous sunrises coming over Rame Head. Worth getting up for.
