    “Having at first thinking the property looked really nice, we found that the upstairs part of the accommodation was very nice and comfy the lower part which is where the bedrooms and bathroom are located was not quite so good, the whole area was damp and musky with paint peeling off the walls at ground level.”

    The beds were not very comfortable and the head frames banging against the walls every time you moved.On the whole the lower ground floor was very damp, cold and musky,

About the location

TYWARDREATH

Fowey 3.3 miles; St Austell 6.3 miles.

The pretty, historic Cornish village of Tywardreath, meaning ‘The House on the Strand’, lies in the heart of Daphne du Maurier country and features in her book of the same name. St Andrew’s, the village church, is said to have the best peal of bells in the area, while the village has a lively community, centred round its excellent pubs and range of shops. There are several safe, sandy beaches close to the village, with a variety of watersports and leisure activities available. Par, a small, china clay port with a dog friendly sandy beach is a fifteen minute walk from the village or 5 minutes in the car, home to a main line railway station. Polkerris Beach, a 30 minute walk or a 5 minute drive away, has a beachside restaurant, pub and watersports centre. The attractive waterside village of Fowey is just three miles away, from where there are some dramatic cliff walks to Gribbin Head, passing through much of du Maurier’s familiar landscape. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Tywardreath is a village that will appeal to families and those keen to explore the rich heritage and gorgeous coastline of South Cornwall.

There is also a small car park in walking distance (approx. 1 minute to walk) down the road towards the river. A parking permit is left in the property.

Please note: This property requires a minimum stay of 3 nights.
