Kittiwake 2

Follow the country lane down into Portwrinkle, where the striking Kittiwake apartments make a stylish first impression, set between the rolling green of the golf course and the deep marine blue of the bay.

Positioned at penthouse level and arranged across one floor, Kittiwake offers a wonderful sense of ease, space and contemporary coastal comfort from the moment you arrive.

Step into the entrance porch, where there is ample space for all the essentials of holiday life, from golf shoes and walking boots to sun hats and sandals after a day outdoors.

Beyond, the open plan kitchen, dining and living space unfolds in a wash of natural light, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere that instantly encourages you to relax and settle in.

The fully fitted kitchen, with its bold cherry red cabinetry and sleek modern conveniences, is perfectly equipped for everything from leisurely breakfasts to indulgent holiday suppers.

Dine in style at the marbled glass table, then open the doors to the Juliet balcony and let the fresh sea air drift in, adding an effortless inside-outside feel to the space, while soft mood lighting brings a gentle warmth as evening falls.

The living area is equally inviting in every season, whether you are curling up with a good book on a quiet winter weekend or gathering together before heading out for supper by the sea.

A central hallway leads to two beautifully presented double bedrooms and two contemporary bathrooms, complete with complimentary toiletries for an added touch of comfort.

Each bedroom has been thoughtfully styled with luxurious linens, coastal-inspired artwork and a fresh palette of greens, yellows and blues, creating restful, uplifting spaces in which to unwind at the end of the day.

The south-facing balcony is accessed from both the living space and the primary bedroom, creating a beautifully relaxed spot for morning coffee, slow breakfasts and peaceful moments spent planning the day ahead with the sea air drifting in.

Climb the outside staircase to the rear of the penthouse and discover the large private roof terrace, a glorious suntrap where long, lazy lunches, afternoon reading and evening drinks are all made more memorable by the wonderful views across the bay and the gentle rhythm of boats passing by.

The two beaches at Portwrinkle, once busy with pilchard fishing boats and the whispers of smugglers, are Finnygook Beach and Hoodny Cove, both of which are easily reached from Kittiwake.

From here, the coast path reveals the sweeping beauty of Whitsand Bay, where three miles of sand stretch between Portwrinkle and Rame Head and the rolling surf draws those in search of sea air, adventure and wide open horizons.

For the more adventurous, the bay offers some of the best surfing in the area, while beneath the waves divers can explore the reef and the famous HMS Scylla wreck.

Nearby, the charming seventeenth-century fishing villages of Kingsand and Cawsand are full of character, with narrow lanes, colourful cottages and sheltered beaches that feel wonderfully timeless.

Once the centre of a thriving pilchard industry, Portwrinkle’s quaint harbour is now a place of peace and quiet, inviting guests to slow down and discover this lesser-known and beautifully unspoilt corner of Cornwall.

With its sandy coves, rolling farmland and winding country lanes, the Rame Peninsula has a quiet magic all of its own, offering a gentler pace and a true sense of escape.

A short drive away, Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park offers rolling woodland, grand historic surroundings and breathtaking views, while nearby Antony House is rich in heritage and recognisable as a filming location for Disney’s Alice in Wonderland.

For golf lovers, Kittiwake could hardly be better placed, with Portwrinkle’s clifftop course just moments away, where days can be spent out on the greens with magnificent sea views in every direction.
