In the lounge area, the comfortable seating is arranged in front of a Smart TV and wood burner effect electric fire, alongside is the pretty dining area providing the perfect venue for relaxed meals looking out over the river to Fowey. The stable door allows you to relax in style whilst enjoying the fresh sea air and fabulous views during warm weather. Also there is a well-equipped kitchen area which boasts a great range of appliances including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge with ice compartment, dishwasher and ice maker.

Head up the cottage style stairs to the beautiful bedrooms, the first of which is a double with a window seat and gorgeous views over the river to Fowey. The final room inside the cottage, and making it a great option for families and couples alike, is a twin bedroom which has been lovingly presented with two custom-built 2’6” single beds (please note one of the beds is relatively high, steps are provided).

Really good location. As with most seaside towns you have to park up a hill, away from the property but once parked there, there is plenty you can do without needing your car. The local bakery, cafe and two pubs are a great addition and the regular boat to Fowey for more amenities is great.

Probably the best cottage we've stayed in from the communication from the owner before we got there to the nice touch of a welcome pack it's a true gem of a cottage that once you've been you will want to return

We absolutely loved our stay! The location is fantastic, with incredible views right outside of the front door. We ventured out by car everyday which means a very steep walk to the local car park however we enjoyed the morning walk.

Lovely relaxing stay during a indian summer.. Daily commute on ferry to Fowey a highlight especially when collecting fudge from Roly's fudge factory. Great place to start walks from, Lantic Bay, Gribbin head and the walk to Fowey and back via Car ferry following a sunday lunch(Hall walk) are all recommended. There is a cove on the way to Gribbin heRead moread which was peaceful for a swim. I managed to park at end of street ok to unload/load, so as long as you time it right, there is no problem. Hide

Beautiful cosy cottage with an amazing view. The cliff walks were enjoyable with hidden coves to discover along the way. Good pubs a short ferry ride across the bay. Relaxing break.

The cottage was very comfortable and in a great position but like a lot of Cornish villages it was a nightmare getting near to drop off and pick up luggage not helped by trades continually blocking the access road but travel light and dump your car in the car park at the top of the village and enjoy the wonderful location

A lovely cottage with beautiful views over the estuary, and the perfect location for coastal walking. Cream teas were a lovely touch as my daughter was just back from uni and adored it.

A gorgeous quaint little cottage, it is small but thats to be expected with this type of property, location was lovely, very close to the quay, gorgeous Fowey a very short ferry stop over the harbour, if you want a more secluded, non tourist like location then this is very likely it!
