Relax in the lovely lounge with your four-legged friends and up to five human guests in front of the crackling wood burner while admiring sea views. Or enjoy some peace and quiet in the sunroom with a good book or glass of wine. Wake up and stretch your legs in the mature garden brimming with hedges and flowers while breathing in the sea breeze.

Climb the steps to reach the front door of the property and head inside the relaxing sunroom with comfortable seating which looks out to sea.

Uplands is a very comfortable house in a fantastic location. It has great views high up over Praa Sands with easy access to the beach. Parking is limited & there are about 30 steps up to the front door. It definitely keeps you fit!

This house is in a lovely position, overlooking the sea. It is well furnished and equipped, comfortable and warm. The fresh flowers and cream tea on arrival were a lovely touch.Lovely big white towels were a nice feature.The view really makes up for the steepish steps on the way up! This was our third visit to the property, hopefully not the last.

Great location with stunning views and the beach is just a very short walk away. The binoculars were well used to watch the many surfers and the conservatory was our favourite room. Yet again I hardly read my book as I was too drawn to watching the sea. Very good quality mattresses, bedding & towels - really made a difference. The fresh flowers andRead more scones with jam & cream were a very nice welcome. Hide

The cottage is beautifully clean and tidy, well equipped and basically provides everything you need for a lovely break. The views are incredible! The fact you can hear the ocean at night was wonderful. I love hearing the water lapping and when stormy, the roar of the ocean. Equally you can close the windows and sleep in silence. The steps up are alRead moreot so be aware if you have someone with limited mobility or elderly. Hide

This is a magnificent house, nicely furnished and with a stunning view. Ample kitchen supplies as well. We felt at home immediately and were sad when our holiday was over. Oh and the beds were great too ! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This is a really comfortable, well-maintained house in a magnificent location. We very much enjoyed our week here and intend to rebook. Everything has been thought out so well, and I have no hesitation highly recommending the property. The only downside is access: there are thirty steps up from the road. This is only an irritation on first arrival Read moreand on leaving, but be advised the access would not be ideal for anyone with mobility problems. Hide

Great stay and good size for 5 of us and 2 dogs. Made a great Christmas for my mum and sister who travelled down conservatory us as our bungalow in Breage is too small to host. Fantastic to look out to sea. Would like to stay again if there are a few of us again.

It was lovely to have the scones, cream & jam as well as coffee and tea welcoming us. We had travelled a long way and our online shop wasnt delivered for a few hours, so this was very welcome. The kitchen starter pack was also appreciated. The property has a great location with beautiful views from almost every room. The property has all the basicRead mores and was clean. The beds and bedding were a lovely fresh clean white as were the towels. The walk to the beach was very pleasant and we found Praa Sands a great base for beach walks, coastal walks and driving to explore Mousehole, St Ives and Porthleven (think I spelt all those right?) and many more places. The garden is very steep both front and back (hence the beautiful views). But the steps are well made and we had no problems. Hide

There needs to be some bowls,for mixing in the kitchen, and the chairs in the sitting room far too low to use without help getting out! The house is Not good for elderly people, and this should be made plain. The views are sensational though! and loved the new carpeting throughout. Would recommend to younger friends.

We absolutely loved our week at Uplands. What a location. the views and the constant sound of the waves were mesmerising. Gorgeous house which was very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The sun room was very well used when the weather didnt permit sitting outside. We will definitely return. Thank you!
