It’s hard to imagine a position more perfect for a holiday home than Durgan Beach Cottage. The pretty stone building with dormer windows in its slate roof sits right above the beach, only a few metres from the water’s edge. Inside, sounds of the sea echo through its bright and airy rooms.

Enjoy a morning stroll along the beach before wandering a further mile and half to Glendurgan Garden. Discover the large unusual garden, with plenty of activities and trails to explore. You'll have free entry here and to other National Trust places during your stay. Head 13 miles away from the cottage and you’ll reach the Godolphin estate. This grand, sweeping estate is home to acres of parkland and a stunning manor house.

Durgan Beach Cottage is joined to Durgan Quay Cottage (sleeps three). Durgan Old School House (sleeps four) and Durgan Wood Cottage (sleeps two) are also nearby. They can be booked together.

Please note: The sea wall in the garden of the cottage is only 70cm high on the garden side with a considerable drop beyond. Children should be supervised at all times in this area.

Telephone: Limited reception for mobile telephones. There is a public payphone outside the property.

Wi-Fi: We provide free Wi-Fi access which is supplied by BT. Please note intermittent connection problems can occur and line speeds can vary as can coverage within the building. The connection is unlikely to be suitable for gaming or streaming.

Logs: A starter supply of seasoned logs, fire lighters and kindling will be provided free of charge. Guests will need to source any additional logs elsewhere.

Please note: The annual Durgan Regatta takes place in the village on the Sunday of the August Bank Holiday. This involves flags on both quays, loudspeakers and lots of people partying outside Quay, Beach and Old School House cottages.
