  • Gorgeous open-plan living spaces make this perfect for a get together

Property code: OC-CYARDA

Treat your family and friends to a break away in this exceptional cottage in the fishing village of Fowey where you can make the most of being close to the sea. The nearest beach, Readymoney Cove, is less than a mile away boasting a picturesque backdrop of woodlands and cliffs where swimming and sandcastle building can be enjoyed for hours on end. Back at your home-from-home, the open-plan living space has the ‘wow’ factor with its exposed beams and dramatic windows, making this a great place for relaxation and celebration.

Beneath the warm-hued exposed beams is the thoughtfully furnished living room, with two luxurious pastel blue sofas, a TV and dual-aspect views over the gardens and out to sea. Just steps away is the modern kitchen with a white tiled backsplash and white cabinets with all the equipment you’ll need to cook up a family feast, including a range cooker. Dinner can be served up on the dining table, positioned to make the most of the views inside and out. The first of the bedrooms lies on the first floor, furnished with a king-size bed and enjoying an en-suite shower room. On the lower ground floor, you’ll find the remaining bedrooms, including a king-size room and a twin which is great for older children. These bedrooms share the use of the family bathroom, featuring a shower over the bath. Outside, the lawned garden is a fantastic social space, complete with a seating area, sun loungers and a BBQ for al fresco dining.

Whilst saying in this part of England, a walk along the South West Coast Path is a must, be it a few miles or an all-day activity. Take the route towards Looe which stretches 10 miles or venture off in the opposite direction to find the sands of Carlyon Bay (6 miles) or Porthpean (5 miles) for a picturesque pathway with plenty of great places to stop off for a picnic or spot of pub grub. Plant lovers will relish the opportunity to visit the Eden Project (7 miles) to wander through the Mediterranean and rainforest biomes, as well as to learn more about the wonderful world we live in through their interactive exhibits and informative trails. The picturesque fishing village of Charlestown is close to Eden, famed for it's Disney film and Poldark film sets, it offers a quaint walk around an old working village complete with square rig sail ships (when they're not busy filming) and in the summer some great fish based street food.

One end near the Lugger pub approx 100m away are 15 very steep steps, the other end close to the property is 9 granite more manageable steps and a short walk towards the property (approx 10m) this is the end and access that you will briefly unload your car at before parking.

Our third visit to Yardarm & as previously had a lovely week. The house is presented & finished to a very high standard. The milk & excellent bottle of wine were very welcoming. The whole house has become so familiar it feels just like being at home. The new bathroom & shower are a perfect upgrade. We were very lucky with the weather after a slow Read morestart to the summer, wall to wall sunshine for most of the week. A great base for walking, cycling, cooking great food & relaxing with a beer & a glass of wine after the activities of the day come to a close. Thanks to the owners for sharing this property in such a beautiful area of the country. Its perfect. Hide

A most comfortable, luxurious and delightful cottage with spectacular views of the river. It was a pleasure waking up every morning to watch the world go by. We have already booked for next year.

This was a wonderful home and we were delighted to rent it for the week - thank you! We LOVED the overall design and feel - beautiful. Really thoughtful touches like the non-slip covers on the sofas, the twin fridges, the electric blinds, the bi-fold doors, the new ensuite shower room with heated mirror - the list could go on.

We had a lovely time at Yardam Cottage. We had almost everything we needed (just needed some extra toilet roll right at the end of our stay!). The place was well located, had wonderful views and was exactly what we were looking for. One thing to note and should be on the listing: there is a neighbourhood cat who visits the property regularly and isRead more not afraid to come into the house - whilst we loved having a cat there, someone with allergies or otherwise may prefer advance warning of this.

Stunning location and property. The quality of the equipment and furnishing far exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this property. We were worried about the parking in Fowey so we bought a Rover ticket for 60 as everyone said it would be a nightmare to get a space and at least that would give us the choice of three car parks in Fowey. HRead moreowever, we arrived to find several spaces in the Main Car park and only cost 25 to park for the week. This was in late June. Hide

We found the property exactly as described. As we were staying in late November/early December we were concerned that the property might be cold. In fact the heating was excellent.
