Sitting on St Anthony Head, this former officer’s quarters is now a coastal retreat.
This former military officer’s quarter may look stern on the outside, but inside it’s a cosy one-bedroom nook with a snuggle-worthy fireplace, a bright, modern kitchen and windows that boast sea views. Outside there’s a path that leads to a view point overlooking St Mawes, Falmouth and the Carrick Roads.
The Lieutenant’s Quarter, along with Tiffy's (sleeps two), The Major’s Quarter (sleeps four) and The Captain’s Quarter (sleeps two) holiday cottages, sit high on St Anthony Head overlooking the sea. These special buildings were preserved after the Trust bought St Anthony Head on the Roseland Peninsula in 1959. Now guests can explore the history of this former military fortification site when they stay here.
If you had a beach visit in mind, the small coves of Great Molunan and Little Molunan are within walking distance. For a little bit of culture and a pub lunch, head to small fishing village, Portscatho which is just a 10 minute drive from here.
What’s more, by staying here you’ll be helping to care for this significant historic site for future generations.
