Location
The Officers Mess is located in a spectacular setting in one of the most beautiful parts of England often referred to as "The Forgotten Corner" or the Cornish Riviera. It lies in a tucked away, traffic free location close to the waters edge in the picturesque village of Kingsand, the entire village is a designated Conservation Area and directly adjoins the sheltered and crystal clear waters of Plymouth Sound. Nearby the little known Sandways Beach is only accessible on foot and provides the perfect sheltered environment for bathing and watersports.
Steeped in history, Kingsand together with its neighbour Cawsandsand are the quintessential Cornish seaside villages intertwined by narrow streets with "chocolate box" fisherman's cottages. The South West Coast Path can be accessed nearby and from here one can enjoy views across the bay to Fort Picklecombe, the Mount Edgcumbe Estate, Plymouth Breakwater, the City of Plymouth and Dartmoor on the horizon. The constant passage of commercial, naval and pleasure craft around the bay and in the entrance to Plymouth harbour, makes this an extraordinary, distracting and inspirational outlook. For those with boating interests there are a wide range of marinas around Plymouth's waterfront to suit all types of craft.
The villages of Kingsand and Cawsand both have a welcoming community, are home to the Rame Gig Club and are well equipped with a variety of local shops, pubs and restaurants together with a sailing club and other facilities. The Rame Peninsula is relatively little known, often described as 'Cornwall's forgotten corner', forming part of the Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with quiet beaches and outlined by the South West Coastal Path. The Mount Edgcumbe Country Park, an 800 acre area of coastal woodland and open hillsides, is possibly one of the most beautiful and varied locations of Cornwall, lies on the edge of the village.
Nearby St Mellion International Golf Resort offers unique 4-star facilities including an aa luxury hotel, leisure centre, Elemis day spa, tennis courts, a European Tour golf course, a brasserie and an award-winning restaurant. There is a Montessori Nursery at St Germans (8 miles) and independent schools at Tavistock and Plymouth.
Plymouth has a long and historic waterfront together with a mainline railway station (Plymouth to London Paddington 3 hours) and a cross channel ferry port with services to France and Northern Spain. International flights are available from Newquay (44 miles) and Exeter (55 miles). The fabulous harbour side town of Fowey lies 30 miles to the west and the famous surfing beach of Polzeath is just over a 1 hour drive.
