The cottage has a lovely peaceful atmosphere about it and is perfect for a well deserved break. It has comfy kingsized beds.
An air recycling system is installed in the cottage giving it a fresh feel.
The kitchen is well stocked with many utensils also tea and coffee are provided.
There a granite fireplace in the cosy lounge with a reclining leather sofa and armchairs that you sink into perfect to relax on after a day out exploring.
It is situated just two minutes walk away from the pretty harbour. Where you can enjoy a bite to eat, perhaps a glass of wine or pint of beer whilst enjoying the view from the Muddy Beach cafe.

The cottage has bundles of character with sloping walls, a split level and granite fireplace.
There is a Newport air conditioning system installed which circulates fresh air throughout constantly.

FishCross cottage is right at the center of the beautiful historical harbour town of Penryn just off the main street. Less than a 5 minute walk from the harbour. Penryn has a wealth of historical architecture being one of the oldest towns in Cornwall.

There is a fabulous fish and chip shop nearby and several other takeaways on the Main Street.
A wonderful bakery selling delicious Cornish pasties and all within 5 mins walk from the cottage. Also not forgetting the traditional public houses such as the ‘Famous Barrel’ Inn that has a barrel for a door, a lovely garden and a real fire.
A great pizza restaurant near the Barrel with vegan options too.
Or the ‘Thirsty Scholar’ just up the Main Street that offers fabulous homemade pizzas and real ales.


Penryn is a historical town that dates back to the 13th century. Which boasts its own museum in the old clock tower.
Just a short walk away is the site of where once stood the cathedral ‘Glasney College’ the building was inspired by a vision as a place of healing.
It was eventually destroyed by the conversion of King Henry VIII. In the reign of Edward VI.

There are several walks nearby through the woods under the viaducts to the reservoir.
And along the coast to Mylor.

The beaches are just a 12 minute drive away in Falmouth.
Visit the National Maritime Museum for a taste of Cornwall’s sea-faring history, or the fine Tudor fortress of Pendennis Castle, a superb place for gazing out to sea.

Inside the cottage there is a good sized bright kitchen with a table at the centre to enjoy your meals together.
The comfortable cosy lounge boasts a big granite fire place, plenty of seating with comfy armchairs, sofa and has a TV and DVD player.

Both double bedrooms have very comfy king sized beds in each. There are spare mattress under both beds for that extra guest if needed. And a TV in the main bedroom with plenty of drawers and a fitted sliding doors wardrobe to store your clothes in.

There is Sky WiFi which is good and freely available.

The shower over the bath is run off the mains so it is lovely and powerful. So be careful not to turn it full on.

All in all FishCross Cottage is perfectly proportioned, has a lovely atmosphere and is in an ideal location to enjoy sunny days on the beach an excellent base location for long sunny days exploring the South West and the many delights that Cornwall has to offer by foot, bus, boat or car. In the surrounding beautiful Cornish country side.

⭐️Children are most welcome and many have stayed just please be aware there is no stair gate, or child door safety locks in our cottage. We do have a travel cot stored in the wardrobe of the main bedroom.

All in all as you can see by our wonderful reviews it’s a lovely place to stay.

Fischers Cottage
The cottage is excellent, clean, convenient and has everything you will need. Penryn is quiet, so it’s a trip in to Truro or Falmouth for entertainment, but the buses are excellent. A great place to stay and explore Cornwall.

Fishcross Cottage more like Double Cross Cottage
NOT as advertised & run down: carpet stained, paint peeling, cobwebs, cabinet knobs missing, TV remotes broken, shower rod held together with duct tape. The second “queen” bed is full size mattress on a queen frame. Clothes dryer doesn’t work; door is held together with tape & locking mechanism is tied on with string. Dishes so sticky we had to wash before using. Lockbox for keys are in trash bin & hard to access plus smelly & dirty. When booking we searched the ENTIRE UK for properties with A/C, clothes washer & clothes dryer. Knowing they’re rare, we were willing to go anywhere that that met those criteria. This listing claimed to have all three, which was a deciding factor in our booking. To our disappointment & frustration, there is NOT A/C, just an air circulation fan that does nothing to cool the inside temps. So, of the three things that were a deciding factor in booking a 9 night stay, only one was functional. Huge disappointment. We opened the windows but it’s next to main road so very noisy at night so hard to sleep plus mattresses are thin and cheap. The owner was initially “mortified” at our “very justifiable concerns” but when we asked for a partial refund, blamed me for not reading the listing thoroughly. Bottom line is the owners are not truthful in listing the amenities offered. If we knew the place didn’t have a functional A/C we would not have booked it, end of story. Owners said they’d not visited the property in two years and it shows. Stay away.
