Second time we’ve stayed in this property. Ideal pace to get away for a few days, has everything you need, very clean and well looked after, comfortable bed and Cawsand is an undiscovered treasure.

Beautiful home away from home

The minute we walked in to the house, we felt at home. Clean and very comfortable. Loved the village, close to the beach, comfortable beds and lovely garden. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling to the area for holiday.

Lovely cottage in a great location

The cottage is just as it is listed! I have never been in a holiday place with absolutely every utensil you could ever need provided in the kitchen! There was even a picnic set.. Location is brilliant, seriously only 5 mins from the beach. Car park is under 5 mins, use the back door much quicker to get there and back. After 4pm it is free and you can pay in the evening for the morning so you don't have to rush out to buy a ticket first thing. We had a very happy four nights there and would certainly come again. My grandaughter and her friend loved it. So many places to visit, Eden project, Maker Heights (where they make the most delicious breakfasts and other food throughout the day), Marine Aquarium in Plymouth. I could go on. I was a little dubious using the Torpoint Ferry but it is very well operated and even in busy times we didn't have to wait long and it only costs £1.50 return!! When we arrived we drove over the Tamar Bridge to Cawsand and it is further than the ferry so we didn't use it again and as you only pay to leave Cornwall I don't know how much that costs as we never used it again. We had a really comfortable stay and would certainly come again if we were visiting the area. I thoroughly recommend this property.

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

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.

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.
