    “The cottage/village was exactly as described, the cottage had almost everything you needed ( we thought there would have been a supply of logs etc for the open fire or at least one nights supply) but we were able to purchase at Asda just a few miles up the road apart from that it was a wonderful stay, we were very lucky with weather during the dayand hoping to return soon.”

    The ship pub was very friendly and welcoming, food was very good. Definitely recommend ( oh thankyou for the cream tea!!)

The property

Nestled snugly in the heart of the coastal village of Pentewan amidst local life is The Mallards, a traditional double fronted detached cottage with wonderful views over the charismatic old stone harbour, a visual reminder of Pentewan's prosperous industrial heritage.

Mallards is a 500 yard walk to Pentewan beach, perfect for sunbathers, water sports enthusiasts and for walkers and cyclists, a firm favourite among locals since it is so large it rarely gets crowded.

You can find spectacular dog friendly beaches at Gorran Haven, Carhayes, Perranporth, Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth.

For walkers and cyclists, there is the Pentewan Valley Trail, a 4km inland path through beautiful woodland, and the scenic coastal footpath which stretches in either direction over rugged cliff tops, and hidden coves.

Unspoilt and uncommercialised, the village itself provides a convenience store, the Pisky café, excellent foodie pub The Ship Inn and well reputed bar/restaurant. There is a West facing private enclosed patio equipped with garden furniture and patio heater in front of the cottage and once over the threshold you will discover a simplistic charm where lime washed wood floors, solid oak and antique furnishings, a rustic wood burner and pot belly stove combine to create an informal and relaxed ambience.

There is an attractive kitchen fitted with striking Cornish blue units and a full range of modern appliances and a utility area, offering space for wet suits and bicycles.

Upstairs is a luxurious hand crafted bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower and two elegant bedrooms, a twin and a double with an antique style bed stead and beautiful crisp cotton bed linens.

Popular among couples and families, The Mallards has the makings for a memorable holiday.

Numerous day trip destinations lie close by with The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey and the Eden Project within a 20 minute drive.

There is off-road parking for one car.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £150.

About the location

PENTEWAN

St Austell 4 miles; Mevagissey 2 miles.

Pentewan is a delightful coastal village set back from the sandy expanse of Pentewan Beach. The village shop and pub draw visitors from far and wide, while the beach is good for children and a favourite with water sport enthusiasts. Dogs are only permitted on the beach between the first Sunday in November and the end of February, but dog walkers can enjoy the stunning woodland of the Pentewan Valley Trail, along with other beaches a short drive away. The coastal path passes through the village and as it climbs up the cliffside towards Mevagissey, the views across the bay toward Devon in the far distance are breath-taking. Good cycle paths pass close by and there is cycle hire available in the village. The nearby fishing village of Mevagissey offers many restaurants and fresh local fish. The Lost Gardens of Heligan and Pinetum Gardens are both just a short drive away, while the Eden Project is within easy reach and well worth a visit.
