You can launch your family adventures afloat or relax and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere while viewing the abundant wildlife on the creek.

Food

You’ll find a sunny dining area in the cottages with a modern, fully equipped kitchen. However, if you don’t feel like cooking, nearby Cafe Mylor offers delicious meals made with locally sourced ingredients. It also boasts a lovely terrace overlooking the bustling harbour. Alternatively, Castaways, located at Mylor Harbour, serves a dynamic seasonal menu featuring quality seafood and also has stunning views.

Accommodation

Inside, the cottage has a modern feel and is constantly updated and immaculately maintained by the owners to provide clean, beautifully presented, and well-appointed accommodation for up to six guests.

The interconnected ground-floor reception rooms provide a welcoming living and dining space for the family to enjoy during their holiday. The sitting area overlooks the passing boats and paddleboards in the creek and provides a relaxed atmosphere to chat, watch T.V., stream your favourite channels, or choose a DVD from the owners’ collection.

A large archway opens into a dining area drenched in natural light and complemented by a country-style kitchen diner. A solid pine table comfortably seats up to six for family meals.

The bright and contemporary spot-lit kitchen features an oak vaulted ceiling leading from the dining area. It is fully equipped with a broad range of high-quality appliances to make self-catering as convenient as possible, including a dishwasher, large fridge freezer incorporating an icemaker and filtered iced water dispenser, microwave, air frier, ceramic hob, oven, and grill.

The adjoining utility room has a washing machine, a heat pump, a tumble dryer, and hanging space for wetsuits, walking, and sailing gear. Leading off is a shower room that is useful after a day on the water. From the utility room, a stable door opens out and up the stone steps into an enclosed large and sunny back garden with a table and six chairs for entertaining in the sunshine.

The accommodation continues to the first floor (the original staircase is quite steep and incorporates a stair gate), with four bedrooms and two bathrooms. Each bedroom is decorated in a nautical theme, comfortable and bright, and has stunning views of the creek from three of the four bedrooms.

Families will love the master bedroom with its king-size bed and smart T.V. This room offers tranquil views over the extensive rear gardens of the cottage and is perfectly complemented by a modern en-suite with a power shower.

A further bedroom with a double bed and Freeview T.V. is also ideal for families with stunning views over Mylor Creek. A bright and welcoming single bedroom, again overlooking the creek, leads off from the double bedroom. Both rooms enjoy shared access to a modern fitted family bathroom with a power shower. A fourth bedroom with a single bed overlooks the beautiful waterside, completing the stylish and well-presented sleeping accommodation.
