Upstairs you will find the open-plan kitchen/dining area complete with two comfy sofas and a Smart TV. Large sliding glass doors can be opened wide to connect with the outside terrace and let the sea breezes in whilst enjoying the fantastic views over to Fowey. The well-equipped kitchen means you have everything needed to cook up a fabulous meal or pack up a tasty lunch for the day ahead. Stools at the breakfast bar add to making this a sociable area and the whitewashed coastal dining table is the perfect place to enjoy time together lingering over delicious food or playing a game. For others the sofas provide a corner to hide away or watch a favourite movie. Across the hallway are two super-king size bedrooms. The main bedroom is flooded with natural light and has wonderful views across the garden to Fowey. It is set up with accessibility in mind and has a walk in wet room shower. The other bedroom on this floor has a versatile zip and link super king bed with beachy headboard and an ensuite shower room. Heading upstairs, the top floor doesn't disappoint. The vast sliding glass doors and elevated harbour views from the living room are spectacular and the balcony is a wonderful place to watch the summer sun set or have cocktails from the in-built bar. For quieter times, there is a chaise lounge to retreat with a book as well as a wood burner offering occasions to cosy in on wintery days. Completing this floor are another three super-king size bedrooms. One has elevated views over to Fowey and en-suite shower room with double vanity. The other two have versatile zip and link beds with oversized beachy headboards and use the family bathroom decorated with a tropical holiday feel.

Outside is a gorgeous, landscaped garden with secure lawn and patio seating area – perfectly set up for BBQs and dining alfresco. There is an outdoor shower to wash your sandy toes and the wood fired hot tub nearby ensures a truly relaxed holiday!

A mixed review from us. The property is immaculate and as described. The views are wonderful. However, we didn't have a great time there, mainly due to the cot for our 6 month old granddaughter. We had asked in advance about it and were told it was a standard size. We arrived to find it had no mattress and none of the 4 different sizes of cot sheetRead mores we brought fitted. We ended up ordering a brand new cot. Other than that, and subjectively, we found the sofas uncomfortable but the beds lovely. Hide
