Wonderful cottage in a quiet and beautiful village on the Fowey Estuary. A local pub serving excellent food and a local shop with all the essentials you could need, made the stay even better. You don't need to get in the car, there are many excellent walks along the estuary and up through the woods. The cottage is light, bright, comfortable and I would highly recommend it; we shall certainly be booking again in the future. ...

We enjoyed our week at the cottage and it was perfectly sized for our family of 4. The location was stunning, with lots of lovely riverside walks (worth buying the local walks guide from the village shop). We appreciated the seating at the top of the garden, where you could sit in the evening and watch the lights twinkling on the river in the distance. Perfect quiet spot to escape the crowds. There are some little steps up and down inside the cottage, which is worth bearing mind for anyone who is not so steady on their feet. Access by car is a little tight and local lanes are charming but narrow - but just as expected in rural Cornwall. A relaxing and pretty place to get away from it all. The locals were very friendly and welcoming....

This cottage is absolutely amazing!
Mr Smith September 2019
An excellent property which made our weeks stay very comfortable and enjoyable. This is as good a cottage as the description implies , I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anybody . I think its finest point is being able to sit on the throne downstairs, open the window and chat to dog walkers on the path outside. Truly decadent ! The nearby pub is lovely but the pricing owes more to Dick Turpin than market rates for food and ale . ...
