Charming country cottage with pretty garden on quiet lane in picturesque village of St Mabyn. The space Watergate Cottage is a charming, stone cottage located on a very quiet lane in the popular village of St Mabyn. It has recently been refurbished in a contemporary cottage style and has a secure, gated driveway and a beautiful, enclosed garden with seating area. The quaint community shop is a 5 minute walk away and the hugely popular St Mabyn Inn Pub only a few minutes more.

St Mabyn is a very pretty, highly-regarded village with a community shop/post office, the St Mabyn Inn (a very popular and lively pub) and a large children’s park.

Padstow is most easily reached via the Rock ferry which crosses the estuary throughout the day. Newquay, Tintagel and Boscastle are also worth visiting.
