On the other side of the hall is the beautifully presented kitchen/diner, a sociable space that also boasts French doors to let that fresh Cornish air in, providing the perfect venue for a relaxed family meal. The kitchen itself is also perfectly appointed for cooking a wonderful meal or packed lunch for the day ahead. Venturing up the stairs to the first floor, find the beautiful bedrooms, the first of which is a spacious king-size bedroom with lovely views across the water and an en-suite bathroom featuring a roll-top bath. A further king-size bedroom, also boasting beautiful water views, has an en-suite shower room.

We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this house. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a lovely, spacious patio at the front where we spent lots of time relaxing. The private pontoon was a real highlight. We hired a small boat from a local company, who conveniently delivered and collected it for us, and it cRead moreompletely transformed the holiday. Being able to hop across to Fowey by boat was not only great fun but also saved a lot of time compared to driving. If youre staying here, Id definitely recommend hiring a boat if you can. The cottage itself was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped for our family, and it made my 40th birthday celebration extra special. Honestly, its difficult to fault the property. The only thing that could have been improved was the weather but unfortunately the owners cant do much about that! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We made some very special family memories here.

Lovely cottage in a lovely part of the country. Well equipped and very spacious and clean. Would just mention about track to property being very narrow and bumpy though. Also did take awhile to get to places because of location but once there well worth the trip. Ferry to Fowey was an enjoyable experience aswell.
