A house by the sea

A calm place to gather, wander, and unwind

Tucked into a subtropical garden above Gillan Cove, Carne Haven is a whole house that sleeps six. Wide sea views, warm light, a stone's throw from the beach, and a cedar sauna in the garden for the colder months.

The House

Space to spread out

A comfortable living room with a log burner and an enormous picture window looking out over the sea. A kitchen and dining space, and room for a family or a group of friends.

The Setting

On the edge of the water

A sheltered cove of clear, protected water, coastal walks from the door, and the beach a 2 minute walk away. Whether you come to walk, swim, or do very little, the view does a lot of the work.

The Sauna

Warmth in the garden

A cedar sauna and a quiet relaxation room in their own garden cabin. In the colder months it comes with the house, the perfect end to a day on the coast path or in the water.
