Waterside 16c Cottage No Neighbours, View, Boat, Foreshore, Garden. Very Private

Rock Cottage Cornwall is a 16th century traditional Cornish property which sits completely alone in AONB enjoying an acre of private grounds, including a riverside woodland which leads to a jetty and the private foreshore where our sturdy rowing dinghy 'Peggy' is moored.

The large terraced garden hugs the two borders of the spectacular and ever-changing view of the Mawgan Creek of the Helford River. This is exclusive to guests! Abundant water and garden birds too; fishing, kayaking, rowing, sailing, paddle boarding as well as wild swimming are all possible from Rock Cottage. Children will have great fun crab fishing and you are welcome to bring your kayaks, canoes with you and launch/store these from our large jetty.

We have private off lane parking directly outside the property which is solely for our guests' vehicles. No neighbouring properties within sight or sound, just a wonderful estuary view exclusive to our guests.

This well appointed 'home away from home' has all you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay and with full central heating by radiators, Rock Cottage is welcoming whatever the season and accommodates four adults with two children.

The kitchen/diner has a picturesque view of the garden, river, surrounding fields and sessile oak woodland. It is fully equipped with a new AEG steam oven and washer/dryer, Smeg ceramic hob, 60/40 LEC fridge/freezer, Bosch dishwasher and a Panasonic microwave oven. You will find everything clean, working and in its place.

On the ground floor of the cottage, is the newly renovated bathroom. This is beautifully tiled with underfloor electric heating, an electric shower over a large bath, toilet and a built-in wash hand basin. This room also serves the Garden room guests.

Step into the fully carpeted and beamed lounge with its thick and original cob walls. There are two cushioned window seats, quirky walls and alcoves, a copper canopied inglenook housing an electric wood burner, modern and very comfortable soft furnishings, an oak sideboard, table and chairs complete with wall lighting and ship's lantern. For entertainment there is an ipod dock music system, LED Smart TV, DVD player, stacks of games and puzzles as well as a great selection of Cornish novels, including many books relating to Cornish culture and maps to help you plan your outings.

At the far end of the lounge is the open tread wooden staircase. This has a short wall-mounted handrail and leads to the landing, children's and master bedrooms. These two rooms have a fabulous view of the river, are well furnished, comfortable and have top quality beds, mattresses and linen.

Ten paces from the front door is the fully carpeted Garden room. This is set up for adults or teenagers only. It is arranged with two single beds which can be zip and linked to form a fabulous 6ft, when a couple sleep in here and by request. You will wake up to a marvellous view from this room which is complimented with white New England style furniture and a 40" wall mounted TV.

On the patio is the new outdoor dining table and chairs with parasol, recliners and a drinks table. For a different aspect, there are two more seating areas in the garden, and down by the water there is a large picnic table set under the shade of the trees. Here, you can get up close to the water birds and watch the fish as they circle to feed.

Our boat 'Peggy' is included in the rent. She is moored on a running line from Easter until late October, tide and weather permitting. At 3.5M long, she is ideal for four persons. We supply lifejackets in various sizes, crabbing lines for children as well as a Tide Table to plan your activities.

Our rates are fully inclusive of boat and life jackets, bed linen, towels, tea towels, bath mats, BT superfast fibre broadband (wifi), heating oil, electricity, luxury toiletries and dishwasher tablets, etc. For a baby we can supply a travel cot, highchair and changing mat for a small supplement. If you wish to bring a dog, there is an extra charge. Please read and agree to our Terms & Conditions which contain details regarding limitations with a pet.

Master Bedroom - One king size bed (5ft)
Children's Bedroom - Two single beds (2ft 6" wide)
Garden Room - Two single beds (3ft wide) can be linked to form a super king sized bed.

Within the village of Mawgan is a shop, church and The Ship Inn pub with restaurant. By foot it is no more than fifteen minutes. If you venture in the opposite direction towards St Martin, you can visit Gear Farm pasty shop, the Prince of Wales and further on the Gwella Dairy for their homemade ice cream. Helford village is a short drive away where you can take a boat ferry across the river and visit Trebah Gardens.

The location makes it easy to explore the Lizard Peninsula including the wonderful Kynance Cove. Sandy beaches, quaint fishing coves, coastal path walks, pubs, restaurants, art galleries, numerous gardens, tin mines, museums, boat and fishing trips are all accessible. At nearby Gweek is the Seal Sanctuary and Helston Town is only 10 minutes by car.

You will make many memories when you holiday at Rock Cottage since it offers something for all age groups. We look forward to welcoming you to our family owned property and sharing this delightful area of Cornwall with you.
