“Beautifully kitted out and maintained.”

Wonderful views and they're right about the steep steps

“Wonderful chalet in an amazing setting overlooking the sea.”

Had all facilities needed. Will definitely be back again.

Phillip August 2024

“Breath taking views, lovely, quiet and peaceful environment.”

Beautiful accommodation and amazing hosts that make you feel more than welcomed. The seagulls nest is an absolute hidden gem. With the chance to see dolphins while eating your breakfast looking over the beautiful cove, then star gazing at night spotting shooting stars in the less polluted country sky. An amazing experience to be had! If you make it down to the beach below again you will be taken back by the sparkling blue sea and beautiful sand that stretches around the cove.

Nina July 2024

“What an absolutely marvellous place with the most stunning view!”

! We LOVED every moment of our stay. The house is so cosy with an extremely well-equipped kitchen and even an extra toilet in the shed…

William May 2024

“Great location, very nice property with stunning views and very well equipped.”

- William, May 2024
Amelia August 2023

“We absolutely loved our stay at Seagulls Nest.”

A fantastic chalet in the most incredible peaceful location. The chalet was clean and very comfortable with everything we needed. The views were outstanding and the steep walk to the most spectacular beach (EVER!) is 100% worth it. We would love to come back one day.

- Amelia, August 2023
Fran June 2023

“Fabulous chalet in amazing location overlooking the sea.”

Very comfortable with everything thought of and provided for. Come prepared with your luggage in easily transportable bags, which makes the walk to the chalet much easier. Access to beach down steep steps but worth it, good for surfing, with lifeguards along the bay. Don't expect much of Eddyson's cafe on the beach but the Cliff Top cafe is well worth a visit for breakfast and lunch! Cawsands is a more sheltered beach and better for swimming and paddleboarding, and the best place to take a ferry to Plymouth.

- Fran, June 2023
James June 2023

“Less accessible than we thought and could do with a sign to show you where the cottage is.”

Folder needs updating as there is no longer a citroen saxo. Biggest issue was that there was no washing machine although the property is advertised with one.

- James, June 2023
Teresa June 2023

“Lovely cottage with fantastic views would highly recommend this cottage to active people”

- Teresa, June 2023
Lee June 2023

“Steve and Paula and family have been accommodating even when the washer broke they did our laundry and were apologetic.”

We would stay again! The beds were very comfortable. The living area was the best we’ve experienced having stayed at many different chalets on the cliff over the last 6 years. Thank you.

- Lee, June 2023
Stella May 2023

“This is a fabulous property.”

Beautiful, unspoilt views in a well maintained, comfortable and well equipped chalet. This is our second stay and I am sure it won’t be the last!

- Stella, May 2023
Samantha May 2023

“A wonderful property”

- Samantha, May 2023
Richard April 2023

“Great place to stay,instructions to the chalet bit confusing,not a good idea to stay if you have any knee ailments,if your fully fit and ok with carrying your luggage down and up fairly steep cliff,I would recommend 100% otherwise.”

The views are fantastic and the peace and quiet amazing.

- Richard, April 2023
Peter October 2022

“We have stayed at Seagull’s Nest a few times now and it has always been an absolute delight.”

A comfortable, cosy cabin on the cliff! With all amenities to help the stay go smoothly. It is now our ‘go to’ place for an absolute stress free break.

- Peter, October 2022
Stella September 2022

“This is a beautiful property, designed to make the most of the stunning views.”

It is tastefully furnished and very comfortable. It was spotlessly clean and very well equipped for self catering. We hope to return

- Stella, September 2022
Neil September 2022

“The accommodation was it ok but I would say the interior looked a little dated ...”

The accommodation was it ok but I would say the interior looked a little dated and smaller than what the pictures show, the access to the property probably could of been described better as it is difficult to get to with suitcases etc, having said these had a lovely stay and these were the only minor points…

- Neil, September 2022
Caroline September 2022

“Once you have understood you don't get a spot like this without a bit of a walk .”

...you realise that every step was worth it. The view is amazing, in all weathers. Location is good although you do need a car to travel easily. Cosy cottage , really good for two with all the cooking utensils you require Ideal get away for peace, tranquility and the beauty of the Cornish coastline.

- Caroline, September 2022
Stephen August 2022

“Had a great time.”

It was a welcomed break from the fast paced life we lead in London. It was an ideal location/chalet to chill out and relax

- Stephen, August 2022
Alex May 2022

“Seagull's nest is a hidden gem on the cliff top.”

The property is well looked after and is furnished to a high standard. It has everything you need; the shortcut to the beach was particularly handy, as were the body boards in the shed (we used these instead of ours because they were better than the ones we brought with us!). The washer was also a welcome treat. One thing we noticed was that there have been some improvements to the property which aren't shown on the pictures (such as the steel hand rail) and it would be worthwhile perhaps updating these on the website. The other thing that would be helpful is directions from the cliff path as we went past the chalet a couple of times before we found it. No complaints, we would definitely recommend! Thanks for a great week.

- Alex, May 2022
Jane May 2022

“This is our second visit to Seagull’s Nest and our holiday was so relaxing.”

The location is picture perfect and we were once again loathe to leave at the end of our lovely week.

- Jane, May 2022
Lynda March 2022

“Stunning views, very clean and comfortable with everything you need.”

Great location for walks Seagulls nest is Beautiful, we didn't want to leave. I highly recommend it

- Lynda, March 2022
Alex February 2022

“This was my second stay at Seagull’s Nest and we loved it just as much in the Winter as we did in the Summer.”

We had Storm Eunice to contend with and even in that weather the chalet felt comfortable and secure. The chalet feels private and has the best view.

- Alex, February 2022
Peter October 2021

“Lovely little property, nicely tucked away and with all the comforts of a home away from home.”

The views were stunning and the sunsets. Can highly recommend this little bolt hole that is ‘Seagulls Nest’!

- Peter, October 2021
Linda September 2021

“Lovely cottage beautiful location - very well equipped.”

- Linda, September 2021
Stephen July 2021

“We had a fantastic week at Seagulls Nest so much that we tried to book the same week for 2022 while we were actually there but unfortunately the price had increased too much which was disappointing but can thoroughly recommend the chalet.”

- Stephen, July 2021
Sue July 2021

“We had a wonderful time at Seagulls nest.”

The views were amazing, and the chalet was clean, and very well equipped.

- Sue, July 2021
Ujasha April 2021

“Perched on top of the cliff, with those magnificent views, Seagulls nest was everything we expected and more.”

The view of the sunsets from the window seat is an image i will carry with me for years. Every aspect of a guests needs have been thought through and there isn't anything I could say Steve and Paula haven't thought of in order to make it a comfortable stay. This was my four year old daughters first staycation and she still talks about her walks up and down to the beach from 'Steve's house' :)

- Ujasha, April 2021
David October 2020

“The view from the chalet was fantastic.”

We enjoyed sunshine and storms and stunning sunsets, all from the comfort of the sofa! It was also wonderful to be able to walk from the door following the coast path to Rame Head and Mount Edgcumbe. It took a few trips to carry all our luggage and food down the cliff path from the parking area, but well worth it to stay in an exiting and memorable location.

- David, October 2020
Wencke December 2019

“A really lovely place with incredible view!”

We really felt like home and sent greetings to the very friendly owner who helped us finding the house in the dark. Thanks a lot for one of our nicest holidays ever! Wencke Elbert

- Wencke, December 2019
Rachel November 2019

“Chalet is really well cared for, the kitchen has all the facilities we needed & more.”

The view is to die for & even in stormy November weather it was beautiful. We were snuggly warm - didn’t need the electric fire, the heating was great. The access is just as described & we came prepared with wellies and torches. Next time though we’ll cut down on luggage! Hosts gave us lots of advice before we arrived including a storm warning! Great week all round.

- Rachel, November 2019
Helen September 2019

“Very clean and everything was comfortable.”

All the facilities we could need. Very helpful owner who gave us thorough directions

“Wonderful stay.”

Enjoyed every minute at this beautiful and peaceful setting.

- Martin, June 2019
Barbara June 2019

“I have been to Seagull's Nest many times and would highly recommend it.”

Views are amazing, and it is a haven of peace and quiet. My wife organises a trip for me every year with Helpful Holidays/Sykes Cottages as she finds them really helpful and informative. Nothing is ever too much trouble. Next year I am booked into a cottage in Kingsand although I suspect I will also go back to Seagulls Nest later on in the year as well as she knows how much I love that area!! I have nothing but praise for this holiday company and they never disappoint!

- Barbara, June 2019
Alyson June 2019

“Hi seagulls nest was a lovely clean well catered chalet however the access to it was a bit much for my 81 year old mum unfortunately.”

Something I did question at time of booking! There are about 30 steps down to the cafe from the road and then a bit of a walk down hill, then across passed some chalets then more steps (some without rails) to the chalet, steps are also quite high. Also there are no signs for it nor is the chalet named, I think you need to stress this in the details. The actual chalet was exceptional well equipped and clean with good use of space.

- Alyson, June 2019
Carola May 2019

“The views are amazing across the whole area but this property is particularly well set up to enjoy the spectacular sea views.”

Very well equipped kitchen that makes full self catering a breeze. Took us a few days to find the clothes line to dry our swimming kit but we spotted it eventually by the side of the house. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of this week

- Carola, May 2019
Sue May 2019

“Although Seagulls Nest is fairly close to the road there are many steps to the beach.”

So be prepared to climb over 150 steps back up if you wish to go down to the beach.

- Sue, May 2019
Lizzy March 2019

“Absolutely stunning setting for a perfect escape from the city.”

Great walks, great views and plenty of places to visit nearby. The chalet is really well equipped and the owner really friendly and easy to get hold of if needed. A repeat visit in future is almost definitely on the cards!

- Lizzy, March 2019
Christine October 2018

“The chalet was kitted out to an extremely high standard of comfort, cleanliness and luxuriousness.”

There was everything and more that you needed. We can’t wait to come back again and this time bring half the stuff we brought as we didn’t need it!

- Christine, October 2018
Nigel September 2018

“It's the perfect place to go.”

Lovely views of the sea, comfortable and relaxing. Plenty of places of interest around.

- Nigel, September 2018
Hiromi July 2018

“Well furnished to a high quality, superb ocean view, car parking provided.”

Access a bit difficult, a small price to pay for the privacy and views. The local restaurant, The View, was also excellent.

- Hiromi, July 2018
Sue May 2018

“Property is very comfortable.”

Not too far from the road. The area itself lends it self to a beautiful coastline and beaches. Should you wish to walk the beaches be prepared for steep paths and steps. But so worth it.

- Sue, May 2018
Paula May 2018

“Would definitely holiday in seagulls nest again next year if owners will let us!”

We loved it.

- Paula, May 2018

About the location

WHITSAND BAY

Torpoint 5 miles.

Set in a bowl of hills at the head of a tidal creek that leads to the Hamoaze, opposite the great naval city of Plymouth, Millbrook is located on the Rame Peninsula, "Cornwall's Forgotten Corner". Bounded by the Lynher and Tamar rivers, the Hamoaze and the sea, the area is deeply rural and designated as one of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has a good range of shops and pubs, while close by are the pretty coastal villages of Kingsand and Cawsand, from which a ferry will take you to Plymouth. Along the southern edges of the peninsula are miles of beautiful walks with glorious views of Rame Head. Just a mile south of Millbrook lies Whitsand Bay with its miles of uncrowded sandy RNLI patrolled beach and dramatic cliffs. A superb base for discovering the wild side of Cornwall.

Note: About 100 yards of steep cliff footpath, ending in 24 steps, lead to it from the road.
Note - allocated parking for one car is available from 1 April - 30th September.
