The Experience

You’ll fall in love with the views from this sweet cottage on the edge of Coverack. Soak up every drop of sun on the south facing terrace or cosy up in front of the open fire. It’s an easy-going family escape: a huge box of toys in the sitting room, a shed with fishing nets and body boards and a play park beneath the terrace so you can watch the kids run free.

Stroll down to The Lifeboat House for fish and chips on the quay, Paris Hotel for a pint, there’s a small shop open for basics and ice cream; or pop to Helston (12 miles) for more choice and supermarkets. A generous breakfast hamper is left to get you started.

You’re minutes from the coastal path for cliff top walks or take your pick of the beaches: Coverack Beach, a few minutes’ walk behind the cottage, is huge and Mears Beach is a 15-minute walk further along the coast path. Kynance Cove is stunning but gets busy in the summer; try Lankidden Cove (3 miles along the coastal path) or Kennack Sands, 1.5 miles further and has a café.

Reviews

Beautiful cottage, spacious but cosy, with amazing views and on the coast path. We loved waking up and falling asleep to the sound of the sea, morning coffee on the terrace after a swim in the bay (with a seal one day!) bracing coastal walks exploring little bays along the way and fish and chips in the harbour. It was a much needed tonic for mind, body and soul- thank you Victoria for sharing your special cottage, we will be back. 

Hazel, Bristol

We keep returning to Battery Cottage, its superb position and extremely cosy and comfortable decor draws us back time after time. The cottage’s proximity to the coast path is on your doorstep and along with the beautiful Coverack beach, it makes for the perfect break. We’ve been able to watch seals from the kitchen and Cornish chuffs from the garden's wall, a real home from home cottage.

Vivienne, Farnham

We loved every minute of our stay at Battery Cottage.  I don’t know what we were thinking to only book for a week!  Lovely gesture to be provided with a welcome package, including clotted cream.  Coverack and the surroundings are such special places – we’d never want to leave if we could and will be back for sure!

Nadine, Hamburg

Another lovely holiday here at Battery Cottage.  Thank you so much Victoria.

Mary, Shipston-on-Stour

Thank you so much Victoria.  We have had a fabulous time relaxing in your gorgeous cottage.  We’ve enjoyed some lovely walks with Rosie, our Wheaten terrier, usually tied in with some great food & drink too!  I don’t think I could ever tire of the view from Battery Cottage, hope to return soon.

Mark and Adele, Yorkshire

Well….what a cottage, what a weekend, what weather! Simply sublime! Thanks so much for sharing such a special place with us. We will be back!

Tim, Exeter

Dear Victoria, very many thanks for another lovely week at Battery Cottage. The weather has been just perfect. I couldn’t think of anywhere nicer to have spent my Birthday!

Roger and Sally, Wallingford

Spent a lovely week in this very comfortable cottage.  Enjoyed taking in the views, listening to the sea and coffee from The Loft!

Sarah, Aylesbury

Wonderful two weeks at the fabulous Battery Cottage! Spectacular views made my morning cup of tea an absolute joy. We’ve loved every moment of our stay in Coverack. Thank you Victoria!

Rachel, London

This is the perfect coastal retreat if you want to avoid the car on holiday - tiny Coverack with its pretty harbour, two beaches and lots of great places to eat is a minute's walk down the hill. I loved the old flagstones, the exposed granite walls, the lovely terrace for eating al fresco in summer and the huge windows in the living room for storm watching in winter.

Florence, Sawday's Inspector

It’s been amazing to stay here! We love all of the caring attention to detail and we’ve trooped the kids around in all weathers to all kinds of amazing places - beaches, Kynance, Bosahan .... it’s just been wonderful. The views of this amazing landscape have been remarkable, and we will be on the road with lots of great memories to take with us.

Rob

The cottage is glorious - so comfortable, with everything we need, and the view is spectacular. We had a relaxing and fun few days - the cottage is such a wonderful and special place to come back to each day. Still dreaming of the view!

Caroline

Battery Cottage is sublime in every respect, a much loved family home. Captivating sea views views from all the windows and a gorgeous south-facing sun terrace overlooking the water just beckons you to stop and let life roll on by. The cottage itself says come in, come in... it's so charming, totally quirky and feels a real home from home with its gorgeous furnishings and lots of homemade art work and crafts on the walls. I'd defy anyone not to be bowled away by this place, at any time of year, but of course if you do get sunny warm sunshiney days then you'll never want to leave.

Location

The neighbourhood

There's heaps to do without getting in a car: hop on the South West Coast Path at the bottom of the terrace for a 12-mile walk to Helston which takes in dramatic cliffs, fishing villages, woodland and a creek crossing. Coverack has a strong community feel with cafés, a pub and general store, and the beach is perfect for picnicking. Roskilly's farm is a 10-minute drive for ice creams and a gallery.

Local points of interest from Victoria Reynolds

  • This idyllic coastal cottage is located a stone's throw from the sea with breathtaking views. Enjoy stunning sunrises, sunsets and stargazing at this enchanting bolthole - it's far removed from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
  • Battery Cottage is perched on the edge of Coverack village park (with swings and a slide) and the cottage gate opens on to it making it a perfect place for children. The village offers gift shops, a church, pub, cafes, restaurants and a fish & chip shop.
  • Set on the South-West coastal path, why not go exploring and discover Mears Beach or Cadgwith and Lankidden Coves. Take a trip to the Lizard Point lighthouse, Trebah Gardens or the Seal Sanctuary too. Little ones love the local Flambards theme park!
  • Enjoy an afternoon kayaking, paddle boarding or windsurfing with the Coverack Windsurfing Centre or explore the coastline by boat with local fishermen. Pack up a picnic and flasks of hot chocolate and find a quiet spot for some seal spotting in the bay.
  • Eating out - Coverack has cafes and restaurants with stunning sea views. The local pub, The Paris, is perfect for lunch after a long coastal walk or enjoy fish & chips on the harbour while watching the sunset. Nearby Porthleven is a must for foodies!
  • Battery Cottage is perfect for singles, romantic getaways or families for fun-filled seaside holidays. Whether you're walking barefoot on the beach, taking a cliff top walk or sunbathing on the terrace - here's a place where you can kick back and relax.

Introducing

Victoria Reynolds

Victoria lives and works in London but tries to escape here as often as possible with her three boys - she's been visiting this part of Cornwall for years and has immersed herself in the community. She has a good eye for design and has made the house feel beautifully and comfortably homely. You let yourself in but there's a local lady in the village should you need anything.
