Lovely house in a fantastic location. The outdoor deck area and conservatory are stand out features. Views that can't help but put a smile on your face. Downderry and the local surrounding area are absolutely perfect. The local pub, Inn on The Shore, well worth a visit, great food and drinks with the most amazing views of the ocean.

Great base for exploring the local area, good walks to Portwrinkle, Seaton and Looe. The village cafe has great coffee and good cakes. The village pub has good views over Downderry beach. The Beach House cafe in Seaton is well worth a visit, great service and good food.

Lovely cottage situated in an ideal spot for the exploring. We walked along the Southwest coast path and other numerous walks locally . Although we had some electric and heating issues the owner worked with us to resolve as quickly as possible. Stunning views, very quiet during the day and night. We'd happily return again. Please note there are 41 Read moresteps up from the car. Eden project, Loole, Liskeard to name a few right all within easy reach from the accommodation. The village Panto was great too Hide

Thank you very much. The best cottage and location we stood in Cornwall so far. The cottage itself is very clean, modern and has everything, what we needed. The conservatory is a gem to this property. The location is perfect - a couple minutes to the beach or very friendly pub. We had an amazing holiday, thank you.
