The Grade II-listed White House, (parts dating from circa 1200) directly opposite St. Michael's Mount is on the seawall; beneath is the sea, beach, rock pools, natural, shallow, warm bathing areas, the ferry to the Mount at high tide, the causeway, at low tide, and 180-degree views from the Lizard to Mousehole. You can see dolphins playing from the terraces. The BBC promotional film of the balloon skimming across the seafront by the Mount was shot from directly beneath our 95-foot-long terraces; Angela Lansbury and Sam Wannamaker were also here to shoot The Shell Seekers movie.
There are no roads to cross to reach the beach, ferry, or some nearby shops etc. The flat is well equipped up to English Tourist Council three star standard, and receives the same visitors year after year, for which there is a 5% discount. Courtyard Cottage is within the courtyard of The White House.There are limited sea views from inside the cottage but views from the large courtyard sun terraces more than compensate for this.
The cottage has a separate lounge, colour TV/video etc., large dining and kitchen area. Three single beds in one bedroom and two singles (or as a double) in the second bedroom accommodate up to five persons. Views are 180-degrees from Mousehole to the Lizard. At night the sea laps quietly and you waken to the call of gulls; there are no roads to cross to reach the beach and most village shops because of our unique location. NOTE: LAST-MINUTE BOOKINGS ARE SOMETIMES AVAILABLE WITH DISCOUNTED PRICES. PHONE OR EMAIL.

WALLED courtyard leads onto terraces and beach below; great for pets.

COSY lounge at Courtyard Cottage leads into the separate dining/kitchen area.

IMMEDIATELY BELOW Courtyard Cottage' seawall is Mount's Bay beach where off season it is blustery and windblown for the hardy.

WE LOVE well-behaved pooches - this one is Willy

Welcome to Courtyard Cottage at The White House where yours truly promises a restful stay.

JUST ACROSS THE BAY from Courtyard Cottage at Christmas.

Regattas seen from Courtyard Cottage terraces

FUN right below our seawall.

Just think! An early morning dip a few yards from the cottage.

Turquoise sea, red sails, azure sky, gin-clear water . . .all this is just yards away from Courtyard Cottage.
