A beautiful and well designed ‘upside-down’ house with panoramic sea views.

Overlooking the sea in the charming fishing village of Coverack, Dolphins is a beautiful and well designed ‘upside-down' house, ensuring those spectacular, panoramic sea views out to Chynhalls Point and beyond are taken full advantage of.

Flooded with natural light, the spacious loft living accommodation is open-plan with exposed beams, a state-of-the-art kitchen equipped with granite tops, central island with double oven and hob, fridge/freezer and a dishwasher; as well as a comfortable sitting room with a contemporary wood burning stove. Take in the magnificent sea views throughout this timeless living area.

Downstairs, the master bedroom has the most breath-taking sea view and its own doors out to the patio area. This room has a luxurious super-king size bed and en-suite with bath, bidet, wash basin and WC. Bedroom two has a king-size bed and bedroom three has two cosy twin beds; both rooms also enjoy the stunning sea views. The family bathroom with shower, wash basin and WC, and the useful utility room are also located downstairs.

Outside, the terraced garden is well-stocked with tropical plants. Steps lead from the slate, sun-trap patio to a sun house, perfect for a quiet escape or maybe a spot of yoga. Dolphins is the perfect retreat for couples and families alike. Use your time in Coverack to relax and soak in that famous Cornish sun. Or head out and explore all of the delights of Cornwall.

Additional Information:
Sorry, no pets.
Cot and highchair available on request.
Please note - There is a flight of 14 steps down to the front door from the parking area and the patio drops onto the terraced garden.

Stunning location in a charming Cornish village

If what you want is a gorgeous sea views and a place to stay away from it all on the edge of England then this is the place for you. Relatively easy to access, somewhere to put the car that you probably won’t need until you drive home, and a well appointed property. If I could change 1 thing it would be to improve the equipment in the kitchen because this is a place where you will want to dine in more often than not to take advantage of the local produce and stunning location.

Lovely property.

We had a lovely week in this property. It was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. The views are amazing and we hope to return at some point in the future.

Fabulous, but…….

Fabulous location and views to die for! Great to have good parking on site, not always so in Coverack. Very comfortable.Handy for the village centre and beach. There was no proper welcome pack which was extremely disappointing… not even a few tea bags and milk to make a cup of tea!! One important fact to be addressed for future guests. There is no mention of the cookers having a halogen hob. If like myself a guest has a pacemaker you are strongly advised by medical professionals not to use halogen hobs as they can affect the pacemaker’s settings. We would not have booked Dolphins had we known. (My daughter had to do the cooking!!)

Fabulous stay at Dolphins

We had a brilliant time at Dolphins in Coverack. As soon as we arrived we fell in love with the property and felt instantly relaxed! The panoramic sea views were stunning. Good sized accommodation with a very large comfortable bed in the master bedroom. The upstairs kitchen and living area was very modern and spacious and the property itself is just a 5 minute walk into the village. Coverack itself had everything there we needed too. All in all a brilliant stay and we would love to return.

Lovely location - property requires some attention

Wonderful location with excellent sea views. The property has obviously been well used - and was clearly very impressive after extension and refurbishment. However, for my visit, the carpets needed cleaning and some of the kitchen items were chipped/cracked (glasses) or incomplete (e.g. teaspoon sets etc.). There were cobwebs on the dining chairs and elsewhere, suggesting limited cleaning of the house. Also, the master bedroom basin did not drain properly. The TV had no signal (less than ideal for the Euros finals) and it was made clear in the house guide that this was not an emergency matter so did not warrant a call over the weekend, by which time it was too late to fix. The manager did arrange for a handyman to fix it and the loose front door handle promptly the following Monday. The living area (upper floor) was visually very pleasant, with lots of glass to enjoy the views. However, it was uncomfortably hot in July (for a family used to living in Southern Spain!) despite having all the windows open.

Fabulous holiday

Accommodation was stunning! The walk up the hill is a challenge but helps burn off all the ice creams!

Getting away from it all

The Dolphins is an excellent place to stay, fabulous views across the bay, we saw seals and a pod of dolphins whilst we were there. Very well appointed property and has all ‘ mod cons’ too. Beautiful, really didn’t want to go home but needs must. We would recommend this to everyone.

It’s all about the views!

Wonderful views of the sea from almost every window in Dolphins. Even when the weather was not so kind, the views were engaging. The upstairs living area has everything you need to cook up a feast or just relax and stare out of the windows. The beds were really comfortable with quality linen and pillows. The terraced outdoor space with barbecue has uninterrupted views of the bay and is beautifully planted. The 2 parking spaces are an extra bonus in Coverack! We have no hesitation ion recommending Dolphins and have booked again for next year.
