Waterside 16c Stuga med båt. Privat, ingen grannar! Juli, september datum

"Omedelbart avkopplande, välkomnande, ljus och enastående stuga med magnifik utsikt"

Recenserad av Sabine L. som semesterde här i 12 nätter under april 2019

"Rock Cottage är en fantastisk plats att bo, en utmärkt plats för att komma runt denna del av vackra Cornwall, vi älskade verkligen det. Utsikten från terrassen och varje fönster är hisnande och det ändras nästan varje timme beroende på tidvattnet och ljuset. Det är en fantastisk plats även för att titta på mångfalden av fåglar! En underbar plats att komma bort från allt, vackra promenader på tröskeln och ägaren mycket hjälpsam och snäll. Det kände sig väldigt mysigt, hemtrevligt och lugnt - mycket smakfullt, kärleksfullt ned till minsta detalj inredda. Sängar var super comfy och vi hittade allt vi behövde och mer än vi förväntat oss. En resa med "Peggy" - roddbåt - visade oss platsen från ett annat fantastiskt perspektiv. Du kommer inte bli besviken .......... Vi kan inte vänta med att återvända! 5/5 "(Publicerad 29 Apr 2019 på den tyska sidan: fewo-direkt. De)

Det här familjeägda pittoreska Cornish-huset byggdes för över 500 år sedan och sitter mellan broarna Mawgan och Gear. Den står helt ensam i en tunnland; Det finns inga närliggande fastigheter inom syn eller ljud, och befaller en exklusiv och magnifik utsikt ner Helfordfloden. De stora terrasserade trädgårdarna slingrar de två gränserna av den privata strand där jolle är förtöjd från påsken till slutet av oktober. För ytterligare avskildhet finns det ett vattendrag i skogsområdet i detta område med enastående naturskönhet. Tänk dig att titta på Mawgan Creeks milda tidvattenvatten med sitt ständigt föränderliga landskap. se den myriad av flodfåglar som bor här - det är en lugn utsikt, så avkopplande och som en annan värld. Ligger inom ett avundsvärt läge, har du allt för dig själv när du bor här!

Försök fiske med havsabborre, njut av vattendimning, starta din SUP och kajaker härifrån, samtidigt som du upptäcker fågellivet som lever längs ekskogsbanken. Barn njuter av att leka dölja i skogen och ha enormt roligt krabbafiske från bryggan.

Under våra 65 års ägande har Rock Cottage renoverats och förlängts. Många förbättringar har gjorts och det fortsätter att ge utmärkt boende för par eller en familj på sex. Interiören är vackert inredd, förstärkt av moderna faciliteter, utrustade med höga standarder med kvalitetsmöbler överallt; detta semesterhus är väl omhändertagen.

Välj Rock Cottage för din vistelse; Det är mest bekväma, varma och inbjudande med underbar utsikt över floden och landsbygden från varje rum. Våra många utmärkta recensioner från tidigare gäster, säg allt!

Med fullständig centralvärme med radiatorer, tre sovrum, inklusive separat trädgård, rymmer det bekvämt upp till fyra vuxna med två barn. Par lockas till Rock Cottage och många återkommer ofta.

Det moderna köket / matsalen är ljus och har en fantastisk utsikt över floden från det stora bildfönstret. Koppla av i lyxiga soffa och fåtöljer i den nyligen carpeterade och strålade vardagsrummet. I slutet av detta rum finns en fin trätrappa som leder till landning, mästare och barns sovrum. På övervåningen finns vackra torg i trägolv. Ligger på bottenvåningen i stugan är brunnet badrum. Tvärs över innergården är det rymliga och vackert presenterade trädgårdsrummet, som rymmer två personer.

Det finns privat parkering för upp till tre fordon och vid ankomsten hittar du denna exceptionella fastighet vackert presenterad, mycket ren, med lättanvända faciliteter och allt på plats. Vissa gäster föredrar att lämna arbetsplatsen bakom, men för de som behöver det finns en snabb och pålitlig internettjänst som ingår i hyran. Rock Cottage är personligen förberedd av ägarna, Linda och Robin.

Tidig vår är en underbar tid att bo på Rock Cottage. Trädgårds- och gräsbankerna är fulla för att spränga med tusentals Cornish primroses, prickade orkidéer och engelska bluebells. Påskliljor nådgränser och krukor. Uteservering tillhandahålls så att du kan njuta av en annan aspekt medan uteplatsen är perfekt för din frukost eller grill. Grunderna planteras med kamelier och hortensior, och när hösten närmar sig, avslöjar böken, asken och ekskogen en annan prakt.

Jul i Cornwall är en magisk tid, och en vistelse på Rock Cottage kommer att vara mysig, fredlig och bekväm. Under åren har många gäster haft den här festivalen här, tar långa promenader längs stränderna, slingrar sig genom det närliggande skogsmarken på fransmannens vik eller tittar bara på vattnet och fågellivet från stugan. Det finns många byar att besöka, alla lyser upp med spektakulära utställningar, och staden Truro är ett bra ställe att göra din julaffär. Naturligtvis kan du göra det mer lokalt i Helston, och uppleva deras underbara julgatabelysning. Ett kvällsbesök på Mousehole är alltid på listan "måste-gå-till".

Rock Cottage har ett utmärkt läge för att besöka många ställen på Lizard Peninsula. Familjesemester, speciella tillfällen, årsdagar eller ett par som vill fly från den dagliga rutinen, välj denna fristad.

Bara 10 minuter med bil och du kommer att nå några av områdena finaste stränder för simning eller kropp ombordstigning - vi är bortskämda för val! Gunwalloe Church Cove, Dollar & Fishing Cove, Poldhu, Polurrian, Kynance Cove, Kennack Sands, Coverack och Cadgwith är alla favoriter.

"Minnesvärt, avkopplande, så bekvämt, allt på plats, mycket rent och välutrustade med stor uppmärksamhet på detaljer, bara perfekt ..... helt enkelt en underbar semester", vad våra gäster säger och kan förvänta sig när de bor på Rock Stuga.

Perfect Cottage, Stunning Views and Ideal Hosts!

Our holiday to Rock Cottage was perfect in every way; from the glorious setting on the river, to the cosy cottage with all mod cons topped off with lovely hosts who give a warm welcome and willingness to help in any way. And what a lovely bonus to have a rowboat to take out on the river. It really is a very special place and we can’t wait to get back there!

Idyllic getaway

This property and location is perfect it is exactly like the pictures if not better. Linda and Robin are the perfect hosts and do everything to make your stay special. “ Peggy” is a dream, and definitely worth going out in her to see the sunrise. It is truly an experience not to be missed.

Well equipped cottage in stunning location

Everything you could need in the cottage, and a stunning view. Lots to do very close by (if you want to leave the house !) - coastal walks, beach, surfing, national trust gardens, sailing, amongst others. We had a wonderful holiday.

Lovely cottage

Rock Cottage is a lovely property in an amazing location. The views out of the back of the cottage are absolutely stunning. We had a wonderful time walking the lizard coastline and playing on the beaches. The kids had hours of fun in the boat and crabbing from the jetty. The cottage was well equipped and everything well thought through for our stay. I’d highly recommend staying here

Rock Cottage

A unique holiday cottage. Spotlessly clean, beautifully situated and clearly a labour of love by the owners, who make the cottage even more welcoming by the little touches they add - teacups and cake waiting on your arrival, and fresh flowers in every room. At last the internet is good for something!

What a gem!

Rock Cottage is truly a special place! A beautiful location, spotlessly clean, with the most comfortable beds & everything you could need in the cottage itself (as well as use of Peggy, the rowing boat!). As a family with two children, aged 8 & 10, plus grandparents who stayed in the beautiful garden room, we had the most wonderful week. Thank you Linda & Robin!

Idyllic

Really lovely spot, and lovely cottage. Direct access to Mawgan creek a real benefit for us to use our kayaks as well as the grandparents using Peggy. A couple of BBQs throughout the stay, but every evening, bar the last, sat outside with a stunning backdrop. Lots of wooded grounds to explore for children The cottage and annex (Garden Cottage) were pristine. Our stay will stay long in the memory.

Idyllic creekside cottage

We had a lovely week at Rock Cottage. The weather was kind. We kayaked on the creek and took out “Peggy” the cottages own rowing boat. The local pub that is within walking distance serves excellent food and we ate there twice. There is also a good local store in the village. There is loads to see and do on the Lizard. A great base for a fantastic Cornish holiday.

a chilled break with everchanging view to die for

Top location at the top of Mawgan Creek - cottage with its own decked landing stage. Family spent the week in racing kayaks and SUPs exploring the river between Helford and Gweek. felt like gone back in time - felt connected with the flood and ebb of the tide. Sheltered, great birdlife wildlife and amazing sunsets on the water. Tidal creek dries out at low water but we got in & out inside 3hrs either side of HW. Recommended. Seal sanctuary at Gweek also worth visit- food at Ship Mawgan fab

Gorgeous cottage on the creek

Lovely cottage with a lot of history and atmosphere. Very comfortable and well equipped - we used the bbq almost every night. It was beautiful out on the creek In the boat. I also swam in the creek a few times (in a wetsuit - but the water seemed to get warmer as the week went on, or Ingot used to it!). If you get tired of watching the changing vista of the creek - the tide coming in and out, the fish and the bird life - there is plenty to do within a 30 min drive: coastal walks, gorgeous beaches and pretty fishing villages. Be prepared for single track roads, rough car parking steep slopes though! A great place to stay.

Rock cottage retreat

If you are looking for a private retreat in a well appointed and comfortable traditional cornish cottage, Rock Cottage is hard to beat. Linda and Robin, the owners, have clearly put in a huge amount of time and effort in making this a great place to stay and maintaing a high standard for their guests. It seems to have every home comfort you could need. I spent a lot of time watching the ever changing scenery and wild life, day and night. There are lots of lovely places to visit within the Lizard and all within easy driving distances. Of course, there is lots for walkers as well. I enjoyed my stay and was very impressed. Thanks Linda and Robin.

Heavenly View

The view. For me it was the view. It does not get any better than this. The feeling that it is all yours and you are its custodian. Many thanks to Linda for allowing us to stay in her lovely cottage. Rarely have we stayed anywhere with such standards of cleanliness and the little welcoming touches were very much appreciated too. If you want to 'get away from it all' then come to Rock Cottage; it allows you to do just that. Listen to the birds, the trees and the sound of silence. My only regret was that I can't draw or paint because that view would be the subjects of all subjects.

Idyllic Creek-side Cottage

Rock Cottage is stunningly beautiful. The first view of the garden and the Mawgan Creek beyond was breath-taking, and the cottage itself a real home-from-home. We had everything we needed and a lot more besides. We enjoyed crabbing off the jetty and explored the creek in the rowing boat as far as Tremaine Quay. The wildlife in the creek is a joy to watch at all states of the tide. We were celebrating my wife's 50th birthday and could not have wished for a more peaceful location within easy reach of some fantastic beaches. Church Cove and Gunwalloe Fishing Cove were our favourites but we also visited Land's End, St Ives, Kynance Cove, Polurrian Beach and the tip of the Lizard. We would certainly recommend a visit to the Minack Theatre if you can fit it in - an experience not to missed. Thank you Linda and Robin for all your careful attention to detail and for making our stay so enjoyable.

Perfect location

It's no exaggeration - you really do get these wonderful views sitting at the table outside, or even from the big window in the kitchen/breakfast room. We spent a good part of every morning and evening just gazing and looking at all the interesting birds, such as Redshanks, Curlew, Little Egrets, even an Osprey! The cottage itself is immaculate. Everything is new or in very good condition, and it's all there - both filter and cafetiere for coffee, two ovens and a microwave, etc. etc. and lovely bedding. The local pub has excellent food, but you really do need to book in advance. It's a 15 minute walk there, maybe a bit less on the way back as it is then downhill... And the village shop has a lot of excellent local produce. The only possible downside to Rock Cottage is that there is only the one bathroom, downstairs. And if you are in the lovely annex bedroom you have to go across the little courtyard to reach it, but you do have the compensation of lovely views of the creek from your bed! So thank you Linda and Robin, we really enjoyed our stay.

If you want to get away from it all .....

This was our first visit to Rock Cottage and our wish to get away from it all was realised once we arrived at this delightful location. Even though the details provided give you some idea, it is not until you look out over the estuary that you realise what a beautiful place this is. The cottage was spotless and the owners made us feel very welcome, supplying some local ‘goodies’ which were very welcome. Flowers in all the rooms gives the cottage a very homely feel. Everything is provided and you only need to bring a change of clothes! The views from the kitchen window particularly are a delight and it must be the best place to have your breakfast whilst watching ever changing scenery as the tide comes in and out, bringing with it a huge selection of birds, plus a pair of swans which seemed to patrol the creek on a daily basis! If the weather is good, eating outside is also a must and you may be lucky enough to share the garden with a visiting woodpecker or nuthatch, as well as the resident pheasants. Rock Cottage is also well situated for visiting many attractions which are only a short distance. The Lizard Point is well worth a visit as is the little port of Porthleven, both only 20 minutes or so by car. We had a lovely week and were very sad to leave – we hope to return one day soon! Thank you Linda and family!

Best Christmas Yet!

After years of doing Christmas at home with all its delights; overcooked sprouts, undercooked turkey, family punch ups, lop sided trees, and annadin extra! We decided to try something a bit different and we booked Rock Cottage for a week over the holiday period. My husband and I were joined by our daughter (21), our son and his girlfriend both are in their mid twenties. We did our last minute shopping on Christmas Eve in Taunton M&S. We spent an evening or two getting tipsy at the local pub (The ship.. I think) and giggling down the lanes on the way back. We ate Christmas lunch at the pub too; it was a real treat and not a soggy brussel sprout in sight! We wrapped up and went for long walks on various beaches including Church Cove which was a so invigorating. We lingered over breakfast each day just enchanted by the view from the window. When the kids got withdrawal symptoms and left us to head back to party in the big cities ( London and Birmingham), a couple of friends joined us and we did the same things all over again. The cottage is so lovely, and immaculate. Linda is brilliant and caring she took so much trouble to make sure we were comfortable. If there is a vacancy book it! You wont regret it!

A Magical Place

We are a retired couple from the USA. who found the property description to be accurate - even more private and charming than anticipated. Rock Cottage is a beautiful, private property. There are no neighbors in sight! The charming cottage is well-decorated, well-equipped - kitchen utensils/library - and well-maintained to a high standard. My husband says the cottage is mechanically up-to-date and to a high standard. Because of these things, we feel the rental rate is very reasonable. The owners were nearby to answer any questions with kindness and helpfulness. The cottage was so idyllic we had difficulty in leaving to sightsee. Even on rainy days the sitting room was warm and cozy. The location is an easy in/out for day trips, yet it is secluded. We didn't use Peggy, the dinghy, as much as we liked; however, the creek/river is magical and begs for discovery paddles. We enjoyed a meal at the Prince of Wales in St. Martin. We were unable to dine at the local Ship Inn but enjoyed their frozen entrees (brand name Freshh) available at Mawgan Stores which is a treasure trove of goodies. Helford River and its environs are an area of outstanding natural beauty and world class. Rock Cottage is a most comfortable way to enjoy it. We would certainly recommend it to a friend or relative. And, we would certainly return to this special place and delightful cottage.

Superb!

What a fantastic property, I cannot recommend Rock Cottage highly enough! We had the most wonderful week here - everything written about it is 100% true but it's so much more than that. Firstly, the cottage's location is ideal - despite being a very short drive/walk away from Mawgan village, the cottage itself is fantastically private and there's literally nobody in sight in any direction. It has, without question, the best view possible of the tidal river and the wonderfully gnarly trees that line it - we were mesmerised, no matter the time or the weather. The avid bird watcher among us was similarly thrilled by the fabulous variety of feathered friends that were continually present. Secondly, the cottage itself is beautiful. It's in excellent condition and fabulously maintained. We were especially touched by the thoughtfulness of the welcoming scones, cream, home-made bread and many more treats that awaited us after a long journey to Cornwall - thank you so much Linda! Everything we needed was there and in addition there was plenty of space for all of our fulsome paraphernalia. The kitchen's vista is incredible and we spent a great deal of our time there, it really is the heart of the house. Every room in the house is just great, but the Garden Room in particular is also gorgeous and it too has the most spectacular view. Indeed, its being separate from the main cottage made it an ideal retreat for the 13-year old in our party! Finally, the privacy of the cottage really is its selling point for us. There's a great deal of land attached to Rock Cottage, which is so much fun to explore. The main part of the garden is on a significant slope, but the very manageable steps, the charming stepping stones, the different levels, the well-placed benches, the fantastic jetty and the excitement of the neighbouring wood make it an outdoor wonderland. Being able to use Peggy the rowing boat was such a bonus, as was the crabbing equipment. Wetsuits are highly recommended when swimming, but this is true of all British waterways! Also, wellies are essential because of the mud when the tide is out. There is no downside to Rock Cottage whatsoever - it's wonderful. The tides mean there's a limit on how much time you're able to spend in the water. Happily, however, the mud flats are gorgeous to look at and the plethora of stunning Cornish beaches are about 20 minutes' drive away, depending on which direction you choose. We'll definitely return!

Beautiful cottage in unique, peaceful location.

A wonderful stay for 4 days in a fantastic cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a short or long holiday. The garden and views were stunning, it was very hard to drag ourselves away from the window..! The location was great for The Lizard and surrounding area, everything within a short drive. The owners are very friendly and provided excellent service before and during our stay. They made us feel very welcome we instantly relaxed on arrival. 5 Stars are not enough....!

A private slice of Cornwall.

Rock Cottage is a beautiful home to relax and refresh yourself. The cottage is set in a very privileged position overlooking the creek where no other dwelling or human activity can be seen. You feel like you've got the entire valley (if that's what you call the view) to yourself and can't believe it is the most popular holiday destination in the country. We enjoyed a row in Peggy and the rise and fall of the tide, the cry and songs of the birds and the calming shades of greenery all around. The cottage is very cosy, clean and well equipped and furnished tastefully. We enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table most of all, where the birds and the ever-changing creek kept us always entertained. At night we enjoyed the stars and the Milky Way high above us. Linda was a lovely host, who welcomed us warmly and left a lovely cream tea set-up on our arrival. She didn't tire of my endless questions ( although I am sure she would be - I'd be tired of my own questions!) I asked via email and answered them swiftly. One thing I would note is that the garden is very steep in some of the slopes given the fact that it's on a rock and you can't do much about that. So you need extra extra care with children under 5. We knew we wouldn't be able to let the kids run free whilst at the cottage but we still booked because we can manage that with the positives the cottage has to offer. We had three adults to supervise and they were happy enough on the patio. Plus the children ran free on the many beaches on offer so they didn't feel restricted. So altogether it was a beautiful place to stay.

Hello from Linda Dandy. For me, it is a real privilege to assist with the managing of Rock Cottage which has been in the Dandy Family for 69 years. On a holiday to the area in 1954, Rock Cottage was ‘discovered’ by Robin's parents, Eleanor (Peggy) and Leslie Dandy. They immediately recognised the special nature of this 16th century cottage and its unique location, which stands alone within an acre of land bordering the Helford River on two sides. Later that year the property was purchased at auction for their retirement.

At the time of purchase, the cottage was condemned as unfit for human habitation and was also Grade II listed because it was then the ‘only recorded example of a traditional Cornish cottage built on a projecting rock foundation’. There was no mains water or electricity, so rainwater was collected for washing and oil lamps and candles provided the only illumination. Drinking water was collected from a nearby spring. A comprehensive renovation programme took place and this was completed by January 1956. The main building was demolished to ground floor ceiling level except for the chimney end which was preserved. The traditional cob (mud, straw and stone) walls retained where it was possible. A Bathroom was created from the old Scullery, the Sitting Room extended and a new Kitchen constructed.

The Garden Room was formerly a separate cottage and had been altered in the early 1900s to become a Meeting Room for game shooting for the Trelowarren Estate. Both families living in the cottages’ had shared the semi-detached privy with their own pathway to it. This building has been preserved and still exists at the bottom of the garden. It must have been quite tricky to keep a candle lit in order to see where you were going! An 1876 map also shows a boathouse and the original two stone walls of this still remain.

The objective of the renovations was to modernise the cottage but still retain its character and originality as much as possible. We believe this has been achieved and many guests think so too. It is a superb waterside retreat and there is nowhere quite like it!
