the cottage
Our cottage sits 100 yards from the harbour and has sea views from all four bedrooms. The sun terrace and upper deck give an even bettter view of the ever changing harbour and the sea beyond.
When the Ferry comes in you need only amble down to meet it and if you look from the terrace you can even see your friends arriving from the boat. If you are feeling particularly lazy you can see if there is any bread left in the bakery window!
Two of the rooms are double, (one en suite) One on first floor the other on the second. The other first floor bedroom has twin beds and the top floor "Cabin" room has a single bed and truckle which would suit one adult or two small children.
​
The groundfloor is open plan with a slick galley kitchen a dining table, sofas, a log fire and an oak boarded floor.
The folding doors to the Terrace open all the way for sunny days. But if the wind blows and the rain lashes down (it is Cornwall!) come inside, close the shutters and curl up by the log fire.

eating and drinking
Dolphins Reach is all about chilling out and relaxing. Curl up on the comfy sofas, cook some delicous mussels in the slick galley kitchen or gather your friends for a barbecue and spend the afternoon watching the world pass you by from the glorious sunny terrace.
We have some of the best restaurants in Cornwall within easy walking distance. Grab a delicious crab sandwich from the deli or the most delicous fish and chips you have eaten and picnic on the beach. Watch the kids rockpooling in the evening sun whilst you drink a sundowner at the Tresanton hotel. Or alternatively grab a book and hide away from the world on the top deck.
The village has several pubs a small supermarket, a pottery, a fanatastic art gallery and a couple of great clothing boutiques.

stay healthy
Take an early morning dip in the turqoise water from Summers Beach, hire a laser or take out a kayak and explore the Percuil River.
Kids and adults alike can take sailing lessons.
Sailors come from all over the world to race in these waters and the sight of the Working Boats and Dragons racing into the evening sun will delight anyone's spirit.
For a special day why not hire "Pinucia" the sleekest vintage Italian Racing Yacht lovingly restored and kept by our neighbours at The Tresanton.
Tennis is available to book at the playing field which is accessable from a path behind the house.
Kids can play in the playground there too.
Visit St Mawes Castle on route along the coastal path to St Just and pass through fields of buttercups and ragged robin. When you arrive you can take a well deserved break and have tea in the lovely grounds next to St Just's famous church.
​
The choice of walks along coastal paths to hidden beaches is endless.
Get the ferry to 'Place' and walk to St Anthony's Head to visit the lighthouse and its dramatic beach nestled below. Walk on to the stunning golden sands of Towan Beach on the other side of the headland.
If you want to eat ON the beach, Rosevine beach holds inimitable feasts at The Hidden Hut, or keep going on the coastal path, where you arrive at Curgurrel Farm and its fish shop which sells freshly caught fish and the most delicious lobsters you can find on the south coast.
