The warm and welcoming space features an array of books, blocks and wooden toys perfect for the small ones. A new flat-screen TV ready for hooking up to a games console or DVD player will likely delight the older ones. Under-bed storage invites clean-up and organization. Once the kids are settled into this space, they won't want to leave... Something that will likely mean a quiet main house~! Guest access Access to the house is through a lockbox. Details will be provided as you get closer to your stay. Other things to note FREE RESERVED PARKING! Compass Cottage benefits from a dedicated spot on nearby Flushing Quay, just 3 minutes walk away! Please note, there is NO parking directly outside, but there is easy unloading to be found by the garden wall of number 1 (where the road widens). This is a double yellow zone so make sure you activate your hazard lights and don't stay there too long. Other long-term street parking can be readily found in the village throughout the winter months, but - like all beautiful Cornish villages - it can prove a challenge during the busiest times of the summer season. The local Primary School parking on Coventry Road is the best option ONLY when school is out of session. Please pay close attention to any signage in this area. And there is often a spot up the hill on Kersey Road past Coventry Road and up from The Royal Standard along St Peters Terrace. PLEASE be kind and courteous when it comes to street parking outside peoples homes and entrance ways. Flushing has many senior citizens who require immediate and constant access to their homes. :) You'll soon see why Flushing is SO popular for visitors!
