Christopher Cottage - Lanteglos

Christopher Cottage sits in the rural parish of Lanteglos, 1.5 miles from Fowey via the Bodinnick ferry. The 2-bedroom property sleeps 4 in a king-size room with exposed oak beams and countryside views, and a twin. Up to 2 dogs are welcome. The merchant notes that the rear garden is reached by steps and that both bedrooms are upstairs.

The lounge has a wood burner and beamed ceiling. The kitchen has a dishwasher, washer/dryer and coffee machine - practical for self-catering stays. An enclosed rear garden has a patio and BBQ. Off-road parking for one car is opposite the property, with additional roadside parking subject to availability. The South West Coast Path runs close by, south to Lantic Bay and Lansallos and north toward Bodinnick and the ferry crossing to Fowey.

Lantic Bay is 1.9 miles by footpath - a National Trust beach reached on foot with no road access, reliable clear water, and no beach vendors. Lansallos Beach is 1.9 miles. Readymoney Cove, the beach closest to Fowey town, is 2.4 miles. The Bodinnick ferry runs regularly and takes a couple of minutes to cross, putting Fowey's waterfront restaurants and galleries within 30 minutes' walk of the cottage.

This suits couples or families of 4 who want a quiet rural setting with walking routes nearby rather than a car-park-and-beach routine. The combination of wood burner, BBQ and coast path nearby makes it a reasonable year-round option rather than purely a summer property. Not great for those wanting to be walking distance from shops and amenities - Lanteglos is a working rural parish and all provisions require a drive or the ferry walk into Fowey. Guests who need step-free access should check with the owner before booking.
