Property Description

Smugglers Cottage offers a rare opportunity to escape to an enchanting countryside oasis close to the exclusive waterside town of Fowey and the charming fishing ports of Looe and Polperro and benefitting from a 40ft outdoor heated swimming pool (Open mid May to end Sept. 9-12 noon and 2-6pm daily. Children must be supervised.) complete with a southerly facing patio and garden with a pond and water fountain. An idyllic rural retreat, Smuggler's Cottage is an excellent choice for couples and families. Beautifully furnished in a nautical theme, the rustic character and charm of this converted stone farm building is thoughtfully balanced with the comforts of modern living, providing plump settees, high quality mattresses and full central heating. Approached along a leafy drive it inhabits a private corner on the grounds away from the Georgian country house occupied by the owner's and offers a private and enclosed patio and the shared use of a large meadow overlooking scenic countryside and woodlands that is suitable for ball games, exercising dogs and is equipped with a children's swing and picnic tables. Ideally located for exploring the diverse coastline of the Cornish Riviera, the expansive surfing beaches at Whitsand Bay, Seaton and Downderry, the secluded sheltered cove at Lantic Bay and the scenic South West footpath are within a short drive. Fowey (described as one of the top three places to live in Great Britain by Country Living magazine) is a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and holds a special interest for visitors of all ages whilst the vibrant naval city of Plymouth, the awe inspiring gardens at the Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan and the National Trust owned Lanhydrock, Cotehele and Antony House present opportunities to string together a varied and memorable holiday experience. Liskeard is 3 miles distant and offers general amenities and a BR station for those without own transport. The cottage offers ample parking.

Guest Comments

What a wonderful time we had in Smuggler's Cottage. The cottage has everything you need for a great holiday. The kids loved playing in the pool whether the sun was shining or if it was raining. Visited Looe, Fowey and Plymouth and the kids loved crabbing in Looe. We really recommend Trethorne Leisure Farm Park. Peter and Valerie have made us feel very welcome. They have done a tremendous job renovating the cottage and have some great suggestions for places to visit and eat. We'll be back! Mr & Mrs D (with daughter aged 3 and son aged 5) - Farnham, Surrey

Idyllic location with loads to do round and about despite the not so perfect weather! The Eden Project, Bodmin Jail, Mackerel Fishing, The Camel Track. We were made to feel very welcome by Pete and Val. We've absolutely loved the cottage and the pool and will definitely be coming back to Smugglers Cottage. Mr and Mrs H (with son aged 13) - Fleet, Hants

A lovely and comfortable cottage in a beautiful location! We had a relaxing holiday and wished we could have stayed longer. The children especially enjoyed the swimming pool and made great use of it - even in the rain! Valerie and Peter made us feel like friends which added to the enjoyment of our holiday. We all hope to return soon. Xx Mr & Mrs Y (with daughter age 10 and son age 9) - Lancashire

We greatly enjoyed our stay in the lovely Smugglers Cottage. Thank you Valerie & Peter for your hospitality. We go home with a little bit of your passion for Cornwall. Mr & Mrs H (daughters aged 11 & 15) - Brussels

We wanted a quiet relaxing break from our business and that is what you have here â€“ a quiet little haven to recharge worn out batteries. My husband loved the pool â€“ a definite bonus. Walking to the branch line to go to Looe was lovely. Nice not to take the car! Thank you Peter and Val, we will be back Iâ€™m sure. Mr and Mrs S â€“ N. Cornwall

Absolutely idyllic and very well appointed, we enjoyed a totally stress free stay and Smugglers Cottage provided a wonderful base to explore Cornwall. We will be back! Thankyou! Mr and Mrs C (baby daughter) â€“ Surrey

"Smugglers Cottage was lovely!! Well equipped and thank you for the welcoming touches such as shower gel, milk in the fridge and the bottle of wine! Such a lovely, peaceful retreat from the city. Everything is beautifully done here and I especially enjoyed the pool. Thank you for providing such a comfortable, cosy home from home. The bed was so comfy, the flowers beautiful and the films and books fantastic." Miss L - Surrey

"Wonderful. I'm going to recommend the cottage to my family and friends." Mazonas, May
