The Fish Cellars - Luxury Holiday Cottage

Location, location, location!

With stunning, uninterrupted, front line, sea views across Whitsand Bay where better than The Fish Cellars to send your holiday?

Developed from the 18th Century Fish Cellars where the local fisherman would process their catch, The Fish Cellars is a small group of stone built luxury holiday cottages in an enviable position at the end of the village with virtually no passing traffic and fabulous sea views. Step outside and go down the adjacent slipway to the aged harbour to the quiet, often deserted, beach below....and with two beaches in the village to choose from you will be spoilt for choice. Between the two beaches you will find a good selection of rock pools perfect for a bit of exploring after the tide has gone out.

Just a 3 minute walk along the sea front from The Fish Cellars is the Jolly Roger cafe reminiscent of the pirates and smugglers that roamed these parts many years ago. With panoramic sea views, it is just perfect for a stroll to get a coffee or an ice cream. A few meters further on you will come across the Whitsand Bay golf course and Dovecote cafe and club house. Open to non members this serves a selection of snacks and bar style meals. At the top of the hill and within walking distance sits the jewel in the crown - the Finnygook Inn - a child and dog friendly pub serving fabulous food at reasonable prices in a relaxed atmosphere.

The cottage sleeps 8 in 3 bedrooms and a sofa bed in the Cinema Room. With two double bedrooms with kingsize beds (one ensuite) featuring Which? award winning matresses you are sure to get a great nights sleep.

The lounge is located next to the full height windows overlooking the bay, a quality oak dining table seats 8, and the fully equipped kitchen has everything you might want during your stay whether you want to rustle up a snack or a full Christmas feast. Step outside onto the south west facing balcony, perfect for capturing the sun from lunch time until it sets behind the hills. Enjoy a coffee or glass of wine taking in the sea views, or settle into the hot tub and watch the night creep in with the twinkling lights of Looe appearing through the dusk.

Downstairs you will find the Cinema room with its 55" TV, cinema sound system and a good selection of DVDs, a table football table and games consoles. The perfect teen den or place to cuddle up for a movie. Next door you will find the second ensuite shower room and separate laundry room with washing machine and dryer.

Underfloor heated thorughout and insulated to a very high standard the property is as comfortable for that well deserved break in the winter as it is in the height of summer with the sun lighting up the rooms. In the winter there is nothing better than wrapping up warm for a bracing walk along the beach, watching the waves crashing in on the beach, before returning to the cosy house for a hot chocolate. Sit on the balcony and soak up the sun or wrapped in one of the blankets provided and listen to the waves crashing on the rocks.

Situated just 5 miles from the A38 The Fish Cellars is the perfect base from which to explore. Within easy reach of Looe, Polperro, Polruan and Fowey, even the Eden project and Lost Gardens of Heligan are less than an hour away down the A38. Visit Bodmin and experience life as a prisoner at Bodmin jail or the market town of Liskeard, explore the Rame pensinsula and the coastal villages of Cawsand and Kingsand, and with the Torpoint ferry to Plymouth just 7 miles away you can quickly get across to the city that was the home of Francis Drake and walk on The Hoe where he famously insisted on finishing his game of bowls before sailing off to fight the invading Spanish armada. This part of Cornwall is often described as "forgotten Cornwall" and as such has retained much more of its charm than some of the more touristy areas. .

A car is required to explore the area although there is a local bus service a couple of times a day and a mainline railway station at nearby St Germans. There are 2 private allocated spaces in the underground car park of the cottage as well as plenty of paid parking along the sea front.
