Perfect place to stay in Cawsand.

This is a wonderful property, very clean and equipped with everything you need for a great stay. Very near the beach. The only negative is the lack of parking but we managed to park for free a bit further up the road. I would definitely recommend this lovely home from home.

Well located (3mins walk to Cawsands beach max). Very clean and comfortable property and probably the best equipped kitchen we have stayed at. Also had a great conservatory and outdoor space (small decking area). I’d stay here again.

Amazing location and facilities

Perfect for a multi generational family holiday, house has everything you need, it has all the facilities and equipment you have in your own home with lovely outside space….private decking and shared garden. Location is just perfect, just a few hundred yards from beaches and several lovely pubs/restaurants for eating out in a very pleasant and traditional Cornish village. Contact with Gwyn the owner was very prompt. Will definitely be returning.

Lovely cottage in a great little village.

A lovely property with everything you would need for a great holiday. Very nice location in a beautiful village. If you want discos and night clubs go elsewhere, it's not for you, this is a quality break for those who like fresh air, peace and quiet and coast walks with stunning views. Owners 'no pet' policy makes it perfect for us, who wants someone else's dog's hair on the beds and sofas? We will definitely book again, thanks for a lovely stay!

Short break in Lovely cottage in Cawsand

Had a lovely 3 night break with adult sons and their partners. Beautiful location so near the seafront. Cottage was lovely cosy and very clean. The pictures actually dont do it justice.The local resturants and pubs were outstanding. Highly recommended this property and area for a break. I wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Gwyn for letting us stay in your lovely home I will definitely book again

It really is home from home!

The house is very deceiving from the front. Once entered you see how spacious it is and immediately feel it is ‘home from home’. We had an 84 year old with us who found the property easily accessible. She was unable to use the shower as it was over the bath but for the few days we were there that didn’t prove a problem. After all her generation were used to strip washes😊. The house was clean, comfortable and tastefully furnished. Beds were comfy with ample wardrobe space and coat hangers. The kitchen has everything you need, from washing up liquid, cleaning cloths, salt, pepper, foil, cling film, ice cubes, numerous utensils, even to an apron. There are loads of children’s games and DVD’s if you fancy a quiet night in. The conservatory looks out onto the decking and to the communal lawned area beyond. There is gated access at the back with easy walk to the beach and the Cawsand ferry ⛴ if you fancy a trip to the Plymouth Barbican. Halfway House do lovely meals at reasonable prices. The kids/light meals were a good choice for us (60+year olds) and were more than ample. Enjoy!

Great stay in Cawsand

The property was more spacious than expected. It was great for our family for 2 weeks. The kitchen is well-equipped and the house has everything we needed. Cawsand is a great place for kayaking and paddle-boarding and is well catered for with pubs and restaurants considering its size.

Beautiful Cornwall

Gorgeous, clean, well equipped property, located as stated a few minutes walk from the beach. Lots to do including kayaking and paddlboarding at local beach, plus surf lessons only 15 minute drive away. Gorgeous views everywhere you look. Regular ferry from beach to Plymouth. Mount Egcumbe country park worth a visit too. Fitted in as much as we could. Only caveat - need to book local pubs and restaurants for dinner. Food fantastic. Would definitely recommend and happy to come back again.

Sehr empfehlenswert!

Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in Gwyn und Jo‘s Haus und können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen. Es gibt genug Platz für 5 Personen, bequeme Betten, eine gut ausgestattete Küche, einen kleinen Wintergarten und eine kleine Terrasse. Die Lage ist super, in einer Minute ist man am Strand. Das Örtchen Cawsand ist wunderschön - wer es beschaulich mag, ist dort genau richtig.

2 Minuten zum Strand

Wir waren eine Woche in dieser Fewo und hatten einen netten Aufenthalt. Die Fewo liegt 2 Minuten zum Strand entfernt, ein schöner Spielplatz befindet sich im Ort. Es gibt keine privaten Parkplätze. Man kann etwas oberhalb der Fewo bei der Telefonzelle meist einen freien Parkplatz finden. Es waren sehr viele Spiele für Kinder vorhanden. Es war alles an benötigter Ausstattung vorhanden. Leider wurde das Wasser in der Dusche nicht richtig warm, was für das Duschen von Baby und Kind schwierig war.
