Pepper has found his ideal spot for looking at that gorgeous blue sea. He’s not daft - snaps up the best seat 😉

Sometimes you just need a snooze. And what a perfect spot Inca has chosen. And why not - it’s hard being a pupster at the beach. Looks like it’s going to be a lovely weekend - so build in a snooze everyone!

Sunny start to the day! Off for a walk up the coastal path now towards Rame Head.

22/06/2024

Summer is here! Sunrises, sunsets, glorious beach days and sleeping to the gentle sound of the waves. Lovely!

10/06/2024

Stunning evening tonight - as dusk falls - the village is quite once more

02/06/2024

Sunday morning! How beautiful - sunny all day. If you fancy a coffee at this window we have one last sunshine week left - 30th August for 7 nights. Dm me if it has name on it ☀️🕶️🥂

I’m trying to capture how wonderful the light and the kitchen looks with the boats outside bobbing in the delicious blue sea - but I can’t do it justice! Hence 2 photos 😬- happy Friday everyone - hope it’s rosé o’clock with you

11/05/2024

Hello sunny weekend! The coastal path runs right outside the house - your only decision is which way you turn - left and go up to Rame Head via Penlee Point and see the waves, the ponies and the chapels or turn right and walk towards Mount Edgecumbe and see the deer, the new lambs, the sea (obvs) and maybe have a nice swim when you get towards the house as there are 2 lovely little beaches there. Choices choices. And don’t even get me started on where to have that well earned glass of rosé (it is officially rosé season now!)
Alternatively - just grab a book and head to the beach that is 2 mins from the kitchen door via the smugglers passage and just chill? What do you reckon?

10/05/2024

It’s been another cracking day - just love the summer vibes.

07/05/2024

I love the fact that the view is from the sitting room os so inspiring that people want to paint it and draw it - so jealous of this talent! Here is a wonderful painting by .brooks.slaps mother.

03/05/2024

This is what Friday looks like and it’s a bank holiday weekend! The water is so clear and with the colours and the sun feels like it could be Greece! Happy days!

02/05/2024

Dusk watch continues - and now that the waves have died down we have pretty sailing boats moored outside the kitchen window. I love looking at them bobbing around in the sun as it disappears behind the headland. The owners are all using their dinghies to get to shore - suspect they are having supper at the Devi. We had kitchen supper as view was so gorgeous.

27/04/2024

Simple pleasures are often the best. Went out this morning and got a wonderful big bag of local mussels - caught in that big bay just in between Mevagissey and Fowey. Took the dogs for a walk to Rame head in the sunshine and picked a few leaves of wild garlic (to top the mussels with). Mussels to me make the perfect Saturday lunch - they are quick, healthy (I’m ignoring the butter on the sourdough) and really sustainable! The house has a very relaxed vibe and now for some snoozing on the sofas.

In mid summer there’s such a thrill to sneak back the curtain a tiny teeny weeny bit to have a peak at the sunrise. Mr P ignores me as I creep out on to the balcony because I simply can’t ever resist seeing the wonderful water with the magical morning light. Even the gulls seem to be still asleep. I normally just take a photo and go back to bed and then show everyone at breakfast! But occasionally I just decide that 4.30am is just too special to miss and stay out looking at the magic unraveling. This is from last July.

Does anything say spring more than these lovely curly fronds of fern?

15/03/2024

Some of my best moments are just me and Lulu - her sleeping, me with a book (and a trusty flask of tea) - these quiet unspoilt little places that are moments from the house are just perfect for doing nothing - and after busy weeks that exactly what my restless mind needs. Natures decompression chamber. Where’s your favourite place to decompress?

07/03/2024

There are some things that make a special place even more special - and giving all our guests is I think one of them. The one we have chosen is called Summer Rising and is a modern, fresh fragrance with zesty citrus top notes and delicate Orange Blossom entwined with Moss and cut Grass - with natural ingredients sourced from Cornish hedgerows. It is a bit of a treat - but then a holiday should be a treat 😜

05/03/2024

Now & then! Swipe to see it before - as we all love a transformation Tuesday! I loved renovating the Old School House and found this picture of what I called “the yellow plastic kitchen.” Using lots of reclaimed materials we transformed it into the place that everyone loves to hang out in. I’m always going on about the view but this kitchen is also a proper cooks and entertaining space.

02/03/2024

Is that spring coming over the hill? I think we’ve had enough rain now - if someone could tell the rain gods please? 😜

24/02/2024

Hello sun. Just enjoying the simple feeling of the sun coming into the sitting room and the shadows it makes on the drift wood. I remember the beach walk that I saw this piece of wood - and the ever patient Mr P didn’t moan (too much) when I said I wanted to carry it back to put under this little up-cycled table. I just love it’s organic shape - so fluid.

A rare frost by the sea! It was proper chilly last night again with amazing clear skies (wish I could show you the stars but night time photography is clearly a skill not with me!) but this morning is bright and sunny with one tiny cloud (that looks a bit like a bird) in the sky. Can’t wait to get down to the beach today. Have a good one what ever you’re up to.

It’s the winter solstice today - the shortest day of the year - and from tomorrow the days get a tiny tiny bit longer. So I thought I would cheer this dark short day up with a photo of when the days are long, the evening are made for rosé on the beach and all you have decide in the morning is do you swim first or kayak first or just sit and read a book with that lovely heat from the sun on your back? Bring on those days!!!

Finally found the perfect little boat for the landing window - I’m not a big fan of making the house crazy nautical just because it’s feet are in the sea but a few nods to its past and the stunning sea views are a good thing!

25/11/2023

When I woke up around 7, I took these photos about 5 mins apart. Amazing how quickly the colours change. Nature at her finest! Never get tired of this view

We had the most amazing afternoon sailing @thebountyproject with @conradhumphreys last week. The Bounty is an exact replica of Captain Bligh’s boat that he escaped from the famous mutiny in 1789. In one of the most extraordinary feats of bravery and tenacity - he sailed this little boat 4000 miles to safety! We only did an afternoon but it was such fun and no rum involved! Conrad is a brilliant guide, teacher, sailor and raconteur - so we learnt lots and loved every moment. We even sailed right up to the house as it was high tide which was so great! Felt very swallows and amazons! . . . #sailing #thebounty #mutiny #skipper #messingaboutonthewster #seaview #beachhouse #cornwall #cawsand #interiordesign #walking #swimming #egyptiancotton #copperbath #cornish #coastalhomes #dogfriendly #kingsand #ramehead #boutiquestays #paddleboarding #vintage #waves #beachlife #vitaminsea #summer #beachdays #bluesea #views
