The Eagle

If you want to feel "off grid" but a close enough walk (1 mile or so) to the beach, some lovely pubs and restaurants. Then this is perfect for you.

It was amazingly peaceful with only the sound of the sea to send you to sleep. Absolutely stunning!

We had a wonderful few days at The Eagle to celebrate my 40th. We had all weathers, including spring sunshine, a storm and hail showers, but the log burner and wood supply kept us toasty warm. The changing dramatic views were wonderful and the cabin had everything we needed, including kitchen essentials so we could stay in and cook every night. As other reviews have noted, definitely worth packing light for an easier trek down and back up again, but we managed fine even loaded up with bags.

We had a wonderful stay. What a beautiful spot and the space is perfect for a beachside getaway for two. Something we will remember forever.

The View Café no longer exists, so you have to be careful to find the path leading to the chalet. The path to the chalet is a real challenge, especially with luggage; you're close to a mountaineer. We cleaned the bathroom due to its filth. We removed the cobwebs and spiders from the corners of the walls. However, the place is exceptional and super peaceful despite the mice in the walls, a bed that's too soft, and an outdated armchair that should be replaced. The sea view is absolutely magnificent. As for supplies, you have to go to Plymouth. The cooking and dishwashing utensils are very practical. In cold weather, you have to heat the fireplace, which isn't very cooperative. You can climb directly from the chalet to get to the beach below with the help of well-installed cables.

Very nice and direct contact with the owner. Super quick help with problems.
Beautifully secluded house with no view from outside. Ideal place to be alone as a couple.
Quick access to the beach possible, but then you have to climb a bit. Everything you need to relax is available.

A great little place to stay with a fab view but beware of the walk down the cliff-side, it’s not a stroll!

Beautifully decorated and well equipped chalet with a picturesque view of the coast. Perfect for if you’re looking to disconnect, enjoy some tranquility and take in what the coast has to offer.

The host was extremely communicative and contacted us prior to our arrival to let us know that there was an issue with the WiFi but that he was already aware and had been in contact with the provider. They can also be flexible with the check in and out times if there are no other immediate bookings.

Although stated in some areas that this chalet is only suitable for those who are able bodied, we wanted to emphasise how steep and narrow the path could be in certain places however, we managed fine as a couple in our mid to late twenties.

Overall, we were extremely happy with our stay and would consider re-booking again in the future.

I had a wonderful long weekend at The Eagle. Such a lovely place; the cabin is beautiful, and I appreciated the welcome from the owners by WhatsApp so it was easy to be in touch if required. The stay was just what I needed!

Surpassed expectations. Truly stunning.

I bloomin loved it - such a special place!! The perfect escape for my 40th birthday to recharge and have some much needed peace and quiet. Great access to running trails and the beach for a swim too. And the nearby towns are lovely for a wander around. The owner was super kind and attentive too. I'll be back one day!

We stayed for 3 nights in October. We had a mix of all weathers and being on the edge of a cliff we loved that. Well equipped, clean and beautifully presented. Shower was fab and there are lots of little touches that are appreciated. Very well insulated and cozy. We took books but to be fair we spent most of our time gazing at the sea and if you happen to have a clear night we absolutely recommend checking out the sky in the early hours. Seeing shooting stars with zero light pollution was one of the many highlights. The access to the beach from the cabin was an adventure ha. I'm not a fan of heights but it is so worth it and it's really not that bad. Sensible shoes a must. There are ropes for the last bit down which helped alot. The beach is huge when tides out. We had it mostly to ourselves. I also proposed down there to my partner so now this stay is extra extra truly memorable. What more can I say? Awesome place!! We loved it and we are absolutely coming back.

Fantastic week at the Eagle. Definitely need to be relatively fit and agile to get down and up the cliff but well worth it. Well equipped kitchen. Comfortable bed. Great shower. Superb view. Appreciated the croissants, biscuits and milk on arrival and owners message asking if all ok. Cawsand and Kingsand close by and the Devonport Inn a must - great seats looking over the beach and a lovely pasty! A wonderful, relaxing week in a very special place.

We loved our stay at the eagle, which is most probably one of the hidden gems at classic.co.uk. In the front seat of the ocean in your own little house - but still close to pretty towns and beaches easily accessible. The perfect spot for those who simply want to recharge or just to embrace nature.

We had a fantastic stay at The Eagle for our honeymoon. The accommodation was really impressive, it had everything you could need despite being off-grid. The furnishings were lovely and modern, and we loved the log burner (we still used it despite being there in June!). We loved relaxing in the outdoor furniture taking in the views, and even spent more than we thought we ever would on the same table and chairs for at home! We weren’t overlooked by anyone, and not having a TV allowed us to take in the peacefulness and tranquility of the spot. The hosts were extremely accommodating to meet our needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Eagle to our family and friends, and so grateful to have been able to make special memories there as newly-weds.

A beautiful, relaxing and remote place for a chilled break - we loved waking up and seeing just the sea and the sun!

This really is a gem of a find. It is cosy, well appointed, the WiFi is great (I worked here remotely during part of my stay), and the owner’s communication was excellent.

The views are stunning. The sunsets are amazing and the stars breathtaking at night-time.

The use of Yoga mats under the bed was also really appreciated and it was great practising outside in the sunshine on the wooden decking.

It’s also really handy being a short walk from the excellent Cliff Top Cafe which serves home-made soup, cakes and pasties amongst other things.

I'll be back, for sure. I specifically wanted somewhere with a sea view and a log burner, The Eagle was perfect. I particularly appreciated the generous amount of logs available as this was a solo break and I would never have been able to carry sacks of logs down the cliff. A minor problem with the Internet was sorted quickly and all communication with the owner was prompt and friendly. Just a note to other people like me who don't do anything to keep fit ... the walk back up the cliff is steep! I highly recommend packing as light as possible. Am very much looking forward to my next visit.

Beautiful bolt hole, wonderful views, it was exactly what we were after.

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful property. The views are incredible and the hosts were extremely helpful. The property was clean and well equipped and we will definitely visit again.

If you’re looking for the perfect getaway to relax and unwind then I highly recommend the eagle! Very professional from start to finish! It caters for all your needs and you will not be disappointed when lying there with a drink in your hand looking out across the bay with the fire on!

The Eagle is an amazing place. First thing to note is that it is relatively secluded, unlike a lot of the cabins along the cliffs at Whitsand Bay. You do pass other cottages to get to it, but you can only see one other once there and it's not directly on top of you. The view is stunning from the patio doors which stretch across most of the cabin. You can also wake up to the view from the bedroom.
The hosts were wonderful and even helped us with our bags on arrival, which meant we only had to do one trip down the hill! They also sorted a minor issue for us immediately via text, and checked in with us midweek to ensure we had everything we needed, which we did.
It's a truly stunning location. The walk to the beach, whilst via the cliffs is relatively easy and the bay is one of the best beaches in England I've ever visited, for it's breadth, rockpools and long waves rolling in. If you want to be claimed by the landscape, this is the place.
The cabin itself was clean, tidy and stocked with everything you need. We had plenty of logs to warm ourselves with the log burner for the entire week and the hosts even bought extra blankets for us, being it was winter.
Would definitely recommend and return. Enjoy! It truly is a special place.
