Regatta Cottage

Regatta Cottage is a Grade II listed three-bedroom on Point Quay, set on the water at Restronguet Creek north of Mylor Bridge. It sleeps six across two doubles and a twin, with two bathrooms - enough for two couples and two children to share without queuing for the shower.

The cottage keeps its period bones: an open fire in the sitting room, low ceilings, creekside windows. Practical kit covers a dishwasher, washing machine, parking and wifi. The owner lists the layout as accessible, but the listed-building character means thresholds and stair details are what they are - check with the host if mobility is a concern. Dogs are welcome with 76 reviews on file, suggesting the owner has worked out the dog details well.

The setting is the draw. Restronguet Creek floods and drains twice a day, with sailing boats moored off the quay and the thatched Pandora Inn a short walk along the foreshore. Mylor Yacht Harbour with its chandlery is about two miles south, Falmouth and its working port are 10 minutes by car, and the National Maritime Museum is the obvious wet-weather option. Castle Beach is the closest sand at 4.1 miles.

Best for sailing-curious couples, families with older children, and dog owners. Less good for anyone wanting a level, modern interior or beach-on-the-doorstep access.
