The historic fishing village of Mevagissey lies around 3½ miles away and is well worth a visit, with its narrow streets leading down to a busy working harbour. Here you’ll find a good choice of pubs, cafés, and independent shops. Nearby attractions include the Lost Gardens of Heligan, a restored historic garden with woodland and jungle areas, and the Eden Project, both popular with visitors of all ages.
There are also sub-tropical gardens, scenic coastal walks, and traditional fishing villages to explore. Fowey, a seafaring town and former home of Daphne du Maurier, is close by and known for its restaurants and cafés. A seasonal ferry runs between Fowey and Mevagissey, offering a great way to see St Austell Bay from the water.
Outdoor activities in the area include surfing, sailing, swimming, walking, horse riding, cycling, and golf, with several courses nearby. Shops are 1¾ miles away, with a pub and restaurant just ¾ mile from the cottage.

KELLY
Peaceful and beautiful location, perfect accommodation for visiting local attractions and plenty of room for our group of 3 adults. We had two small cars between us, and were able to fit both outside accommodation. Having two bathrooms was also ideal. The kitchen was well equipped for preparing and cooking evening meals. Views, gardens, summer house all an added delight.
