A holiday home that’s all your own
Discover what it’s like to own a holiday home at Whitsand Bay Fort: a private, gated cliff-top park on the Rame Peninsula, with luxury and pre-loved lodges for sale from £120,000.
Holiday home ownership in Cornwall is one of the most rewarding lifestyle decisions you’ll ever make, and Whitsand Bay Fort is one of the most spectacular places in the county to do it.
We’re not a flat-pack commercial holiday park. We’re a small, private community of luxury lodges arranged within a historic Victorian sea fort, perched on the cliffs of the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall. The view from the park stretches across Whitsand Bay, the Tamar Valley, and miles of unspoilt Cornish coastline.
For buyers searching for a holiday home for sale in Cornwall, a holiday lodge for sale in Cornwall, or simply a beautiful second home within easy reach of Plymouth, Devon, and the wider South West, this is a setting that’s genuinely difficult to beat.
Whitsand Bay Fort sits high on a cliff-top with panoramic views across the bay and the Rame Peninsula, one of the most picturesque locations in the South West.
You’re minutes from Cornish beaches, the South West Coast Path, and the historic fishing villages of Cawsand and Kingsand. Plymouth is a short drive (or a relaxing Torpoint Ferry crossing) away.
Six reasons buyers from across Cornwall, Devon, and the South West choose our cliff-top park over conventional holiday parks.
Panoramic, uninterrupted views across Whitsand Bay and the Rame Peninsula. A position you simply won’t find on a flat inland park.
A long leasehold, not a short-term licence. Real legal security, real value retention, and real protection for your investment.
Cornwall is one of the UK’s strongest staycation markets. Many owners cover their annual running costs in peak weeks alone.
Indoor heated pool, gym, the Fort Inn restaurant, and CCTV-monitored grounds, all maintained through your annual service charge.
Use the lodge yourself, let it commercially through Sykes or Airbnb, or do both. We don’t tie you into our own letting service.
The South West Coast Path runs right past the park. Miles of beach, headland and woodland walks. Heaven for dogs.
We’re on the Rame Peninsula in south-east Cornwall (PL10 1JZ), often called “Cornwall’s forgotten corner” for its quiet, unspoilt beauty.
For a Cornish location, we’re unusually accessible. Plymouth is just across the water via the Torpoint Ferry, and the A38 makes the wider South West a comfortable drive: Liskeard, Bodmin, and Truro to the west, and Tavistock, Exeter, and Bristol to the east.
That accessibility is one of the reasons our buyers come from such a wide catchment: from Cornish locals downsizing, to Devon families wanting a coastal escape, to second-home buyers from the Midlands and beyond.
Whether you’re searching for a holiday lodge for sale near Torpoint, a second home for sale in Cornwall, or a static holiday home within easy reach of Plymouth, we’re a comfortable journey away.
Transparent costs, disclosed upfront. None of the surprises that catch out buyers on conventional holiday parks.
Pre-loved lodges. New flagship builds rise to £235,000 depending on size, age, and plot.
Covers business rates, park maintenance, public liability insurance, waste disposal and VAT.
