Step Inside

Tucked away on a quiet lane just moments from Coverack's picturesque harbour, Dovetail is a charming coastal cottage designed for relaxed escapes by the sea.


Warm interiors, thoughtful details and inviting spaces create an immediate sense of home, encouraging you to slow down and savour life by the coast.


Step through the front door into the cosy living area, where comfortable furnishings and a crackling log burner create the perfect setting for unwinding after a day of coastal adventures. Whether returning from a windswept walk along the South West Coast Path or simply enjoying a peaceful evening together, this welcoming space invites you to curl up and relax.


The cottage opens into a well-appointed kitchen and dining area, thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for your stay. Pick up fresh local produce from the nearby Coverack Community Shop and enjoy leisurely breakfasts or romantic suppers shared around the dining table.


Upstairs, the elegant bedroom provides a peaceful sanctuary designed for restful nights and lazy holiday mornings. Complete with its own ensuite, it's the perfect place to retreat, recharge and dream about the next day's adventures along Cornwall's spectacular coastline.


On Your Doorstep

Wake slowly to the sound of the coast and enjoy your morning coffee on the bistro set, or settle onto the outdoor bench with a good book as village life gently unfolds around you.


Perfectly positioned just behind Coverack's postcard-perfect harbour, Dovetail offers a peaceful retreat within easy walking distance of everything this charming fishing village has to offer. Wander down to the beach in moments, enjoy lunch overlooking the sea, or spend time exploring the independent cafés, shops and waterfront.


For those seeking adventure, Coverack is one of Cornwall's most exciting destinations for watersports, including kayaking, paddleboarding, windsurfing and wild swimming. The South West Coast Path passes close by, offering spectacular walks along rugged cliffs, hidden coves and some of the most breathtaking coastal scenery in Cornwall.


Beyond the village, the Lizard Peninsula awaits. Discover the turquoise waters of Kynance Cove, visit Britain's most southerly point at Lizard Point, or explore the timeless fishing villages of Cadgwith and Mullion.


Whether you're searching for outdoor adventure, unforgettable coastal walks or simply a slower pace of life by the sea, this remarkable corner of Cornwall offers something special in every season.
