Experience - The Area...Nestling in a wooded valley just a quarter of a mile down the hill to the banks of Pont Pill, a tidal creek of the River Fowey, this attractive, semi-detached cottage stands in a quiet elevated position to one side of a tree shaded country lane. Surrounded by peaceful National Trust countryside, Cuckoo Tor offers a wealth of woodland and coastal walks nearby including direct access onto the renowned Hall Walk with stunning views of the estuary and the nearest south coast beaches are only a couple of miles away.The Old Ferry Inn at Bodinnick offers a wide range of meals, less than 2 miles away,where there is also a car ferry operating to Fowey which has a good selection of shops, pubs, restaurants and a small beach at Readymoney Cove with a delightful rock carved paddling pool. Polruan, also less than 2 miles, has a few local shops and two pubs on the quayside next to the passenger ferry running across the river to Fowey. Both villages are readily accessible via glorious creek-side walks. The South West Coast Path and the quiet sandy coves at Lantic Bay and Lantivet Bay are just 10 minutes by car and The Eden Project is about a 30 minute drive. Stay - The Accommodation...Set on rising ground, the property is entered via a couple of gated steps that lead up to a small paved sun terrace overlooking the tree covered banks. From here the fully glazed front door opens into a charming and cosy living room with a painted beam ceiling, a dining suite and comfortable seating arranged before the fireplace. A well equipped fully fitted kitchen is partly divided off from the living/dining area with shaker style units and the original slate flagstones.A carpeted staircase leads directly up from the lounge to a light landing where there are a bathroom W.C. with hand basin and electric shower over the bath and two pretty cottage style bedrooms with a 5ft double and twin beds respectively. Both bedrooms have pleasant woodland views. To one side of the cottage, a paved patio garden reached by a flight of a dozen stone steps has garden furniture and views of the wooded valley.

Delightful cottage holiday
Cuckoo Tor is a delightful cottage. It was immaculate inside when we arrived. It provided a very comfortable and cosy stay. The cottage was well equipped with all we required for a self catered holiday.
Thank you very much! We shall definitely recommend Cuckoo Tor to others who want a quiet location from which to explore the area near Fowey.

Fabulous Secret Hideaway near Fowey
Just returned from a fantastic 2 week stay at Cuckoo Tor. Cottage was clean and well appointed, a super relaxing location among the trees beside the Pont Pill creek just opposite Fowey. Lovely walking nearby, especially the Hall Walk into Fowey and back via the ferries and up to Lantic Bay and along the coast path. Further afield good walks at Gribben head and in the woods at Lerryn. Weather was kind, took the opportunity to swim in the sea several times at Pentewan, Falmouth and Polzeath. Thank you for a lovely stay.
