The Summerhouse at Cove Cottage, St Loy, St Buryan, Penzance, Cornwall (Sleeps 2)


Hidden at the bottom of a lush, subtropical woodland garden, The Summerhouse sits peacefully above a rugged cove, offering a true sense of escape. Surrounded by protected natural beauty and just moments from the South West Coast Path, it provides a private and tranquil setting with sweeping coastal views, perfect for leisurely walks and spotting local wildlife.

Inside, The Summerhouse is stylish, comfortable and inspired by a Scandinavian beach house aesthetic. Its unique location creates an idyllic romantic retreat, whether for a special celebration, a relaxing break or a long-awaited holiday. Floor-to-ceiling bi-fold doors open from the wooden deck into a spacious open-plan living area, designed to maximise comfort while overlooking the secluded cove. A large sofa invites guests to unwind, while the king-sized bed, complete with a premium mattress and electric blanket, offers a cosy place to relax, all with uninterrupted sea views. Thoughtful touches such as Cornish artwork, books, games, Alexa and superfast internet add to the experience.

Mornings begin with the gentle sounds of seabirds carried on the coastal breeze, while local fishermen head out from the nearby cove. Breakfast on the terrace offers the chance to watch diving boats pass by, exploring the waters below. Outside, a private garden filled with seasonal planting provides a peaceful space for outdoor living, complete with comfortable seating, a fire pit for cooler evenings and a barbecue for relaxed dining. Games and practical features such as an outdoor tap add to the ease of staying here.

Set in the unspoilt far west of Cornwall, The Summerhouse is perfectly positioned for exploring the surrounding area. St Loy’s Cove lies just moments away, while coastal walks reveal dramatic scenery, hidden coves and opportunities to spot seals and seabirds. Nearby, Penberth, Lamorna and Mousehole offer charm and character, while Penzance provides shops, galleries and access to iconic landmarks such as St Michael’s Mount. Together, it creates a peaceful yet perfectly placed base for discovering the beauty of West Cornwall.
