Walk to beach, near Eden Project and Fowey

Nestled in a pretty, friendly village 3 miles from Fowey is our well equipped and homely Cornish miners cottage dating from 1860, under a mile from the beach and just a 10 minute drive to The Eden Project. Pebble Cottage is located on a quiet no-through lane (The Saints Way) which leads to open countryside one way and towards the beach and coastal path the other. There is central heating, a private parking space and fully enclosed, flat, sunny courtyard garden (no steps!) with seating and BBQ. The space Pebble Cottage is just under a mile from the wonderful, dog friendly and safe Par Sands Beach, which, with its gently sloping sands is perfect for families and watersports. From the beach you can pick up the spectacular South West Coast Path with its dramatic cliff top views, wildlife and hidden coves. In one direction you can walk to quaint Charlestown Harbour (as featured in ‘Poldark’), and in the other direction to Polkerris with its watersports, pub, beach and restaurant. This is a very popular family beach and a fantastic place from which to sit and watch the evening sunsets. If you want a longer walk you can carry on past Polkerris to Fowey and catch the bus back(bus stops at the end of our lane), but if you don’t fancy that Fowey is only a 5 minute drive away. Tywardreath means ‘House on the Strand’. It lies in the heart of Daphne du Maurier country and is the title of one of her books. It has a great pub with a popular dog and visitor friendly family restaurant, a village store, an award winning Butcher and a beautiful ancient church. Tywardreath is known as one of the friendliest villages in Cornwall and with it's great location it is hard to beat for a true Cornish holiday. Situated right in the heart of the village with all its amenities, Pebble Cottage is well placed for visiting all the popular tourist attractions on both the north and south coasts, with The Eden Project being only a 10 minute drive away and The Lost Gardens of Heligan 25 minutes away. The beautiful town of Fowey is just 3 miles away and has a great selection of shops, pubs and restaurants. From here you can also hire boats and kayaks or take the ferry across the Estuary to Bodinnick and Polruan or take a boat trip across to Mevagissey. You may even be lucky enough to spot a dolphin on the way! The little village of Golant is just 2 miles away and another lovely place to explore the river followed by a drink in the pub afterwards. The small town of Par is a 10 minute walk from Pebble Cottage and has a further range of shops and post office plus a railway station with a direct link to London Paddington, Newquay, Truro (connect here for St Ives) and the steam train at Bodmin. If you are travelling to Cornwall by train, we are more than happy to collect you from the station. You really are spoilt for choice when it comes to nice walks and things to do in this area.
