Comfortable and very flexible cottage but this is all about the location, beautiful views out to sea and to Mevagissy from the living rooms, bedrooms, garden. Boddinick ferry better than driving the long way round.

An excellent location with glorious uninterrupted views of the coastline. Delightful holiday stay in a tastefully furnished and well equipped cottage. Beautiful walks straight from the doorstep and a short walk into the village. Would definitely stay here again.

The Ridge was brilliant - clean, tasteful, well equipped with truly amazing views and true to the description. One of our party is rather less mobile but the layout meant she only lad to use stairs at start and end of the day or to go out. She used the exit from the bedroom with the balcony as internal stairs were easier than external steps. The Read moreLugger was friendly and had excellent menu. There was a small amount of parking at the harbour- useful as unmade road to house was not wheelchair friendly (coupled with steep roads down to harbour). All in all - a gem of a property and location. Hide
