Antonia’s Pearls – The Sea Cabin

For parents who’re still getting used to a new bundle of joy, The Sea Cabin is just the place to discover the precious pleasures of becoming a family. A little bit quirky and very cool, owners Antonia and David have weaved their holiday cottage magic to transform a pair of Grade II listed buildings into a bijou bolthole for two and a baby.

From White Company Egyptian cotton linen to a groovy retractable sail that sweeps over an enclosed courtyard, The Sea Cabin has been beautifully designed, both inside and out, to help guests unwind. Whether chilling out to music on the squishy sofa, sinking into the sumptuous king size bed or chilling out over a leisurely al fresco lunch, parents are certain to feel the stress levels begin to drop. Even packing up to come to The Sea Cabin is stress free because so much essential baby kit is provided, including steam steriliser, food whizzer, travel cot, high chair, baby monitor, buggy and much more (see grey box for full details).

In keeping with the secret hideaway concept, the cabin is tucked away in the flower gardens of a grand, Grade II listed Georgian house, overlooking the historic harbour town of Charlestown, which was recently granted World Heritage status. Although the cabin offers private tranquillity, it is toddling distance to the beaches, tall ships and fat crab sarnies to be enjoyed around the quays – the essence of Cornwall right on the doorstep.

Accommodation overview

The Sea Cabin is a quirky set of character-filled outbuildings which connect via a tiny sail roofed outdoor terrace. The king-size bedroom has charming low ceilings with space for a cot. The adjoining wet room has a powerful shower, basin and a loo with a view! Across the terrace there is an open plan sitting room/kitchen, designed for comfort, complete with squishy sofa, gas wood burner, Smart TV and WiFi. The kitchen is fully equipped with a ceramic hob, electric oven, fridge, microwave, dishwasher, cooking utensils and crockery, plus a washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and ironing board in the wash house at the rear. The Cabin has a private garden and an enclosed courtyard for al fresco dining whatever the weather, thanks to the sail providing shade or shelter at the crank of the handle.
