Property needs some updating

We are sorry that you felt areas were in need of updating. The property is traditionally furnished and great value, especially for Fowey. We hope to welcome you to another Cottage in the future. Sarah, Customer Support

Fab getaway with peaceful, tropical garden. No shops in Golant but large supermarket chains do delivery. Fisherman's Arms does a wide range of food including takeaway pizza (with notice) The Sheiling is well equipped but furnishings and paintwork are tired. Beds comfy but sofas not. Good, reliable internet access....

If you want to get away from it all, Golant is a delightful little village with one pub which serves excellent food. It is essential to have a car as there are no shops locally. The cottage is best described as compact and quirky as many of the owners' original ornaments (and furniture) fill the rooms - so possibly not to everyone's taste although the record players and LPs will appeal to the nostalgic! Some furniture is looking a little shabby (rugs in particular) but everything was clean and tidy and kitchen and bathrooms had been modernised. The garden however, was a delight. Lush and heavily planted with a little stream running through it, it was a real sun trap with views of the river. The drive was just big enough for 3 cars to park on, which was also a bonus as the streets are too narrow for parking. ...

Lovely cottage. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. There are lots of places to visit in the surrounding area. Also some great places to eat eg. Sam’s (Fowey), Captain Hank’s Crab Shack (Fowey), and the New Inn pub (Tywardreath) serve a fantastic Sunday lunch. There are fishing trips from Looe and Mevagissey but these are best booked in advance. There are also speed boat trips (Sea Safari) from Looe which take you around Looe Island where there are seals and along the coast to Polkerris. On the doorstep in Golant is a water sports centre where you can learn to paddle board, kayak or canoe. You can also buy yummy Cornish pasties here and Jules makes a great coffee. There are tables outside where you can sit with your refreshments and look at the river....
