Nestled snugly in the heart of the coastal village of Pentewan amidst local life is The Mallards, a traditional double fronted detached cottage with wonderful views over the charismatic old stone harbour, a visual reminder of Pentewan's prosperous industrial heritage.
Mallards is a 500 yard walk to Pentewan beach, perfect for sunbathers, water sports enthusiasts and for walkers and cyclists, a firm favourite among locals since it is so large it rarely gets crowded.
You can find spectacular dog friendly beaches at Gorran Haven, Carhayes, Perranporth, Watergate Bay and Mawgan Porth.
For walkers and cyclists, there is the Pentewan Valley Trail, a 4km inland path through beautiful woodland, and the scenic coastal footpath which stretches in either direction over rugged cliff tops, and hidden coves.
Unspoilt and uncommercialised, the village itself provides a convenience store, the Pisky café, excellent foodie pub The Ship Inn and well reputed bar/restaurant.
There is a West facing private enclosed patio equipped with garden furniture and patio heater in front of the cottage and once over the threshold you will discover a simplistic charm where lime washed wood floors, solid oak and antique furnishings, a rustic wood burner and pot belly stove combine to create an informal and relaxed ambience.
There is an attractive kitchen fitted with striking Cornish blue units and a full range of modern appliances and a utility area, offering space for wet suits and bicycles.
Upstairs is a luxurious hand crafted bathroom with a roll-top bath and separate shower and two elegant bedrooms, a twin and a double with an antique style bed stead and beautiful crisp cotton bed linens.
Popular among couples and families, The Mallards has the makings for a memorable holiday.
Numerous day trip destinations lie close by with The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Mevagissey and the Eden Project within a 20 minute drive.
There is off-road parking for one car.
