A delightful cottage, well equipped and comfortable. A great location for walks to the beach and Fowey. A short walk to the the main car park in Fowey to catch the shuttle bus into town if you don't fancy the hills. We had a wonderful stay.

Cottage is a bit tired. Bed linen is very poor. Location is ok but lots of building work taking place on the site
