Just minutes from the waterside Spinnaker Cottage is a typical Cornish 'upside down' or reverse level house. The light airy lounge on the 2nd floor has wood floors and 6 windows including a porthole! From here there are French windows to a secluded breakfast patio with views over the rooftops to the sea. From here you can often watch the sailing boats racing with their brightly coloured sails - hence the name of the cottage.

On the first floor are the bedrooms and bathroom. There's a master bedroom with king-sized bed and also a second double bedroom. Both have storage. The bathroom is spacious, with a shower over the bathtub. On the ground floor are utility room, large hall, garage and parking space.

The style is fresh and light using lots of natural wood and making maximum use of the Cornish light.

The cottage is so laid out that 2, 4 people (or 6 using the comfortable lounge sofa-bed) can feel at home. It's been enjoyed by couples or families alike since 1999.

Spinnaker Cottage - perfectly located for Penwith's attractions Being so close to the sea, there's plenty to explore on foot, straight from Spinnaker's front door.

Minutes way are fine restaurants and historic pubs, the famous Jubilee Art Deco Lido and the harbour with luxury yachts, tall ships and of course the Scillonnian ferry for the Isles of Scilly.

You can book fishing trips from the quay and the Dive, Sailing and Canoe clubs are also right there. The fishing village of Newlyn with its galleries, home-made ice-cream and Pilchard Museum is a delightful half-hour stroll away while story - book 'Mousehole' is just two miles further on.

Whether it's Atlantic surfing you want or sandcastles and sun, the glorious beaches of Penwith are just 10-15's minute drive away. Spinnaker's location makes it easy to leave and return by car - and you have your own parking.

Other attractions nearby: the Minack cliffside theatre, Tate St Ives, St Michael's Mount, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, The Eden Project, so many galleries and all those wonderful cliff walks.
