Lovely location in a cosy cottage for 2 fully furnished and equipped for a comfortable stay. Useful local shop selling coffee and pasties along the road. Had a few drinks by the fire in the Ship Inn. Beautiful walks by the river every day in rain and shine. We spent a pleasant morning in Fowey pottering around the shops. Will definitely be back. Thank you....

The cottages faces north and a lack of sun, but a good view of the building being converted opposite blocking the river view. Only those of a lesser build will be able to navigate the extremely narrow spiral staircase. A single tiny wardrobe is inadequate for 2 people staying a week although you have to unpack in the downstairs room as there is no way you can get a case upstairs. Freezer compartment on the fridge was frozen solid so don't take frozen food. Comfortable bed and good wifi (when you can find the instructions). Nice and warm. View of the river from the side bedroom window. Good local shop and a lovely village. ...

Thanks so much for sharing your review of Little Gem. As we say, it is a small but perfectly formed bolthole, and we do try very hard to show the size and style of property in our photos. The spiral staircase is of standard dimension and construction, but we do appreciate that this won't appeal to all guests - we'd recommend checking our description and photos to get a feel for this. The little village is a charming and well-loved residential area, and does include people's homes which have existed for many years so unfortunately we don't have control over renovations or home improvements. We really appreciate you letting us know about the freezer, we'll make sure this is addressed. We're glad you had a great stay overall and enjoyed the lovely surroundings. Tanya, Customer Support...

Little Gem is a sweet little cottage. We were welcomed with a cream tea!!! Thankyou! But we're from Devon so its cream first! Compact, but with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The spiral stairs were challenging, but we mastered carrying two hot cups of morning coffee up them quite well by the end of the week! The bed was so comfortable that it was a challenge to get out of it in the mornings!! Lerryn is a very quiet, pretty village, with lovely estuary and woodland walks directly from the house. An eye had to be kept on the tides, as the access road was flooded at high tide. It never reached the cottage though. Pity it faces north , though, so not in the sun, but the evening sun did reach the little courtyard at the front, so we were able to sit for one sunny, evening appreciating the lovely view with our glass of wine, even though it was November! We had a meal in the local pub a few yards down the road, next to the shop which was well stocked with tasty treats We had a couple of issues which were dealt with promptly and efficiently....
