(Reference number: 162892)
Six metres from the water's edge in the Cornish village of Flushing, this Edwardian cottage puts you as close to the harbour as you can get without getting your feet wet. A log burner anchors the living and dining area for cooler evenings, while the top-floor bedroom looks out across the water to Falmouth – and the ferry to get you there departs just a two-minute walk away. Two kayaks are ready to launch from the village slipway, three pubs are around the corner, and a private decked courtyard out back is perfect for a slow breakfast among the flower beds.
Home truths:
* The staircase up to the top floor is steep, with a low beam at the entrance – your host notes it may be unsuitable for some guests.
* If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a travel cot, high chair, baby bath, and changing mat. You'll need to request these in advance.
* Two kayaks are available for guest use and are stored in the back garden. Life jackets and oars are provided.
* The front of the cottage faces the main road through the village, which also doubles as the local bus stop. You may hear some passing noise or morning chatter from people waiting for the bus, though reviews suggest it's generally quiet by evening.
* Parking in Flushing is on-street only, directly opposite the cottage – spaces are limited and can be tricky, as is common across Cornwall.
