  • "The property on listings needs more while we did make the most of it but if the details of the had said about the cottage was next to the church & the garden back on to a grave yard we would have booked the stay plus were the bed was you not have mobility issue has you to crawl over the bed each night."

    I would also point out none of the things I have highlighted were not anywhere on the listing & after the bell ringing for 2 plus hours we packed up & came home 3 days early.

  • "The cottage is in a good area which has shops, a butchers shop and a great pub which we ate at a few times during our weeks stay."

    There is also a 15 minute walk to Par for another pub. The cottage is small but what you would expect for one bedroom. Getting into bed at night was a challenge as the ceiling slopes, therefore you have to get in and out from the bottom as there is no space to stand up from the sides of the bed. Once we mastered the challenge, we found the bed was comfortable and we could sit up to read. I wouldn’t recommend for a tall person or anyone with mobility issues though, as there are three wooden ladder like steps to climb beforehand and the dressing room/bedroom, which is separate also has a sloping ceiling which is difficult to stand up in, (I’m 5’ 2”) We had a good week, weather wise and made the most of it by walking a few coastal paths visiting various villages nearby. All in all we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back to the area.

  • "Lovely cottage in a lovely village with everything you need."

    Really unusual/ quirky (in a good way) cottage for young couples. Very cosy

  • "Perfect little cottage for a couple and a dog."

    Despite being in the heart of the village it is really quiet and private with a delightful good sized and very dog secure shingled courtyard garden right next to the church yard. In terms of location, it couldn't be better, with a small general shop and an excellent butcher just across the road. A few hundred yards away is a really dog friendly pub with large garden and an excellent menu. We ate there several times during the week. The walk to Par sands beach is a pleasant 15-20 min stroll down a hill. The beach itself is a doggy paradise. We found a nice loop walk which takes about 45 mins. The accomodation has everything you need and is cosy, comfy and very clean with well proportioned and equipped modern kitchen and bathroom. The upstairs is quirky, with a low ceiling bedroom area and a separate spacious dressing room/cot room. A stair gate was provided which was useful to keep our two small dogs downstairs. We loved sliding into the large and comfortable bed at night but anyone with physical disabilities may find it a challenge with the low pitched roof and open steps. The owner Mark was a pleasure to deal with and answered any queries promptly by text. There is no off road parking but we had no problem parking directly opposite and there was always a space on our return from days out. In short, a real gem of a cottage and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. (Please note there is no sea view from the cottage despite the icon in the description......a minor point).

  • "We were unlucky to arrive on an evening when the local pub had an event which meant no parking in the village."

    Listing could be clearer to alert folk that it is street parking. It is important for the listing to highlight the difficulties the mezzanine bedroom may pose for anyone with mobility issues....we just about coped Main issue though was a cooker bulb blew the trip switch, and this took out the fridge full of our fresh food and frozen food, we had a real problem locating the fuse box, (which is expertly hidden!) and despite numerous attempts the owners never responded to any of our calls during the entire week .....this level of poor communication is a significant issue. Otherwise it was a very clean and modern quirky house and we had an enjoyable time in the village.

  • "Lovely little cottage."

    Within walking distance of a dog friendly beach. Ideally situated to visit all parts of the lovely Cornish coast. Would definitely recommend.

  • "Pretty much what we expected."

    Good value. Slightly more claustrophobic in the bedroom than I had expected (I'm quite short, I thought I would be able to sit up on the bed. I was wrong). Would probably be happy to stay there again should we be returning to the area, we had a lovely time.

    Hi Jane, Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and thanks for the positive feedback. The bedroom is quite cosy! I agree that it is necessary to duck below the beams ,however , I would just like to reassure future guests that sitting up in bed to have a morning cuppa or read your book is not a problem. Glad you had a lovely time and hope to have you back at the Rashleigh's. Best wishes, Mark Property Owner

The perfect pet-friendly couples retreat, Rashleigh's is close to local amenities and just a short walk away from a beautiful beach.

Soak up the sun-drenched Cornish coast and enjoy some quality time together in this snug and inviting cottage.

After parking up, enter your new home-from-home to be instantly welcomed by the characterful living/dining room, complete with a woodburning stove where you can curl up on cooler evenings.

Moving through to the kitchen, whip up delicious meals, and enjoy them with a glass of wine at the dining table, or head outside to the enclosed garden for a breath of fresh air, where you can sit and relax on the furniture or enjoy a romantic evening under the stars.

When sleep calls, you'll find a mezzanine-style double bedroom that's perfect for a romantic couples' retreat.

In the morning, escape to the nearby harbour town of Fowey, filled with meandering streets lined with traditional pubs, shops and eateries, as well as historical sites from the The Polruan Ferry to the ruins of St Catherine's Castle.

Spend a day at Par Sands Beach and St Austell Bay, two beautiful locations for soaking up the sun’s rays, paddling the shores or getting lost in a good book as you listen to the sound of the waves crashing along the shore.

Alternatively, head to the bustling town of St Austell, home to the Eden Project, Poldark Mine & the Wheal Martyn China Clay Museum, and numerous beaches such as Par Beach and Charlestown Beach.

With Lostwithiel, Mevagissey and Polperro also within accessible reach, you’ll never be short of things to see and do.

About the location

TYWARDREATH

Fowey 3.3 miles; St Austell 6.3 miles.

The pretty, historic Cornish village of Tywardreath, meaning ‘The House on the Strand’, lies in the heart of Daphne du Maurier country and features in her book of the same name. St Andrew’s, the village church, is said to have the best peal of bells in the area, while the village has a lively community, centred round its excellent pubs and range of shops. There are several safe, sandy beaches close to the village, with a variety of watersports and leisure activities available. Par, a small, china clay port with a dog friendly sandy beach is a fifteen minute walk from the village or 5 minutes in the car, home to a main line railway station. Polkerris Beach, a 30 minute walk or a 5 minute drive away, has a beachside restaurant, pub and watersports centre. The attractive waterside village of Fowey is just three miles away, from where there are some dramatic cliff walks to Gribbin Head, passing through much of du Maurier’s familiar landscape. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Tywardreath is a village that will appeal to families and those keen to explore the rich heritage and gorgeous coastline of South Cornwall.
