The location of the cottage meant views of the river were excellent but accessibility was limited. There is no parking except to load/ unload and the extremely steep hill to the car park would be unsuitable for those with mobility issues. We love boats and enjoyed watching all the activity on the water. A busy boatyard right in front of the cottageRead more began work about 8 each morning and could be noisy. The local shop and pubs had everything needed but the owners had supplied all the essentials. Hide

The location of the cottage is fantastic, for the views, convenience to the shop, cafe, pubs, ferry and Polruan bus stop. We rely on public transport and provided you plan ahead and access the bus timetables for the area, it's possible to get to lots of lovely places on foot or bus. It's s a lovely cottage to stay in, clean, well equipped and beautRead moreiful. We're glad we stayed here before we're much older - if you have concerns about steep stairs, do check that the cottage would suit you. Hide

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.

We also appreciated our scones, jam, cream, milk and wine which was left for us. Hide
