Beautiful Spacious Apartment between Fowey & Mevagissey Cornwall
The Coach House is a detached property situated in the centre of a small modern development on the south coast of Cornwall in Par. The nearest beach is Par Beach which is about a 25 minute walk away (10 by car). Not the most scenic beach in the area by any means - that has to be Porthpean near Charlestown, or Polkerris or Readymoney - but it’s ok for a look at the sea & a nice stroll on the sand. Charlestown is 4 miles from us & it’s lovely. The harbour is very pretty & has been used for Poldark. Some nice pubs & restaurants here & some good antique shops. Porthpean Beach is very close to here & is really nice. The beautiful harbour towns of Fowey and Mevagissey, often used as locations in BBC's Poldark, are just 6 miles away. Crabbing at both these towns is excellent! My personal favourite is Fowey as in Summer you can use the pontoon. Just grab a spot and a pasty and wait for the crabs to roll in! The Eden Project is just 10 muinutes away & well worth a visit. There is also a lovely family beach at nearby Polkerris where there is a great variety of watersports & a cafe. This beach is also home to The Rashleigh Inn, one of the oldest pubs in Cornwall, and, Sam's On The Beach restaurant, both hugely popular all year round. This is a lovely, clean apartment that sleeps 4 people comfortably. There is parking right outside the front door. You go upstairs and the whole top floor is the apartment!! We have free BT Fibre broadband which is reliable. The living area is open plan with a TV & DVD player so no one is banished to the kitchen. Great for spending time with family and friends. The kitchen is lovely and modern. It includes a dishwasher, microwave and full size fridge freezer but no washing machine. There are two bathrooms, one of which is an ensuite shower room. The family bathroom also has a shower over the bath. All towels included. The nearest local pub is about 10 minutes walk away, The Par Inn, which doesn’t do food. There is a fish & chip shop close by (Holmbush Fish Bar). Also The Little Plaice & Val’s Fish n Chips. You’ll need to drive to these. My personal favourite is The Fisherman’s Chippy at Mevagissey. There is a brilliant Nile’s Cafe/Bakery along Holmbush Road which sells gorgeous pasties & cakes. They also do good breakfasts & lunches. There are lots of corner shops within walking distance & a nice Co-op. There is also a big Asda and a Tesco about 10 minutes drive away. We have two 18-hole golf courses near us. One at Carlyon Bay & one at Lanhydrock. Lanhydrock House is owned by the National Trust and is one of the few houses to still have its original kitchen. It also has lots of new bike trails & beautiful walks. The walk to it from Respryn Bridge is lovely. We also have Par railway station about 15 mins walk away where you can take the train easily to St. Ives, Falmouth, Truro & Newquay. There is a cut through to the station opposite Val’s Fish & Chip shop. We have even taken the train as far as Plymouth to visit the aquarium & to stroll on Plymouth Hoe. A great option when it rains! The train ride to St. Ives is gorgeous as you get to travel along the stunning Carbis Bay. Traffic and parking to St. Ives can be a nightmare so this is a great alternative to driving & struggling to park. The train to Plymouth takes you over the River Tamar using the Royal Albert Bridge which was designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Views are amazing! A walk on The Hoe is a must! You can even get the train direct from Paddington station (London) to Par! This really is a great location and we have tried to make it a home from home. Whether you want to go “proper shopping” in Truro, take a boat trip from Falmouth up the Helford River or enjoy some amazing cliff top walks, you will have a great Cornish getaway.

Perfect for our UK Get-Away
We really enjoyed staying at the Coach House, it was well maintained and equipped, while also being in an ideal location for us to explore the local area.

The property is very modern, very nice and clean.
The location is very convenient. Plenty of supermarket and surrounding beaches are very nice.
Jayne has been very great, checking in and out were very smooth and easy. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful and clean accommodation in quiet neighbourhood
What a beautiful and spotless accommodation and for a great price. Very friendly and easy to reach owner should you need anything. Comfortable bed for the adults and kids rooms were cosy and clean. Both the bathroom and en-suite were spotless. Peaceful place to be and in easy reach of many beaches and Fowey is only a few minutes drive away. Thank you for the wine and biscuits. Would definitely stay again.

A beautiful and clean, well-placed apartment
We booked our holiday at the last minute and Jayne was very helpful with the booking process.
The apartment itself is spotlessly clean but homely, with lovely furniture, pictures, bedding etc. It is located in a quiet cul-de-sac within easy reach of the beaches. Our favourite was Polkerris, about 10 minutes away.
In the apartment there was a list of the best beaches, restaurants and pubs locally, which was really useful.
Everything had been thought of and we didn't want to leave. There's so much more to see in the area and we felt very relaxed after staying at the Coach House. We will be back. Highly recommend!
Having never been to Cornwall before, we were unsure of where to stay. The Coach House is located on a housing estate but is close to many beautiful beaches.
The Coach House itself was immaculate and tastefully decorated. A welcome pack was gratefully received upon arrival, which included flowers, milk, tea, coffee, sugar, wine and biscuits. The owners have thought carefully about the ammeneties they have provided. A full size fridge and freezer was a blessing, especially in the hot weather. Games and DVDs were readily available for fun family times. A storage cupboard provided an iron, ironing board, clothes airer, vacuum cleaner, shopping bags and even a bucket and spade!
The owner was very helpful and was easily available. Any texts sent were replied to quickly and helpfully.
We had a great time and The Coach House provided a super base to explore Cornwall.
The flat was clean and well-presented with everything we needed. It was also more spacious than we expected. The location is very convenient for getting around and within reach of lots of good pubs and beaches. Would definitely recommend.
We were extremely impressed with the property, it was so clean and welcoming. A small welcome pack was also left for us (cookies, wine & coffee). It was like a 'home from home' - amazing! Communication with the property manager was excellent, we were given clear instructions how to reach the property as well as the many sights to see around the area (beaches, eateries etc). Great base for the area! Would highly recommend.
A good base for many local beaches, attractions etc with only a short drive.. not much walkable (especially due to the hills of you have little ones) but a few good run routes.
Property spacious and clean and kitted out well (minus washing machine).
A really fabulous holiday rental, very clean and well resourced. A very comfortable, homely place to stay. The apartment is on a new small estate in a small village only a mile or two from some nice beaches. It's very quiet at night which is a bonus. Plenty of great places to visit within a few miles. Fully recommend Polkerris beach, Fowey, Eden Project and The Lost Gardens of Heligan, all close by. The owner left a complimentary bottle of wine and some shortbread, which was a nice touch. The beds were very comfortable. Two bathrooms were also really appreciated. The only thing which would improve the rental would be the addition of a washing machine, so make sure you pack enough clothes to last the full duration of the stay. Otherwise, the nicest rental we have ever stayed in!
Detached, spacious, very clean and comfy with almost all mod cons (no washing machine). The actual location just surprised us as it's in the middle of a housing estate, and we certainly didnt find any easy 15 min walk to the beach.
Great accommodation with plenty to see and do nearby, plus it's a great starting point to visit the Cornwall area. Excellent communication from the owner too. Highly recommended
very good experience renting this apartment,homely feel everything you need,very clean and modern,loved par plenty of pubs and eats near by and beach,apartment is on estate up a hill for anyone with walking difficulties
Home from home. Really comfortable stay and everything that you need and more. Nothing has been forgotten. It was a perfect base to go and explore other areas.
The apartment was well equipped with everything you could want from a holiday let. Par isn't a pretty town, but it's ideally located for visiting all the excellent tourist attractions from Newquay down to St Ives and Fowey. We felt very comfortable in the apartment and really enjoyed our stay.

Spacious clean apartment
This is a well maintained apartment on a quiet estate in Par. It has plenty of room and lots of games,books and dvds were provided. Overall a good place to be based as there is lots to do within half an hours drive. We would recommend the pasty shop on the road to the harbour and the Royal Inn nearby.

Highly recommend; very lovely property and owners.
Lovely property. All mod cons and very good condition. Great location and really fab owners who were understanding when I couldn't get payment through via website; they held the property until I could sort it out. Very responsive and gave us lots of tips for what to see and do in the area. Highly recommend.

Lovely, comfortable Base for exploring the area
Spotless, nicely decorated and very comfortable home-from-home to use as a good base for exploring the area. Great walks, beaches and attractions within a 10 minute drive, and also handy for travelling to the north coast. You won't be disappointed

Immaculate
This first floor property has been beautifully furnished to provide a comfortable "home from home " atmosphere including central heating for a winter break.
The Coach House is perfectly situated for visiting nearby Fowey & Mevagissy and the North Coast beaches are an easy drive away also close at hand is Bodmin and Lanhyrock House and golf course
We really enjoyed our stay at the Coach House and look forward to visiting again soon

Absolutely fantastic accommodation!
The Coach House is a wonderfully clean, modern and stylish apartment, perfectly equipped for a long or short stay. We came as a family last year in August and felt that we just had to come back in October half term to explore more of the surrounding area and beaches. Its proximity to the Eden Project, National Trust Lanhydrock, Mevagissey and Fowey make it a perfect place to enjoy this part of Cornwall. Both the times we have stayed have been really enjoyable, relaxing and easy. We will most certainly be coming back for another holiday very soon.

Lovely Holiday
We very much enjoyed our family holiday at the Coach House in August 2014.
The property is beautifully decorated and very clean and well maintained.
It is perfectly situated to explore the lovely beaches in Cornwall or surrounding towns. We especially enjoyed Fowey and surfing on the North beaches.
We would definitely recommend this property and have already booked to come back in Summer 2015.
About the host
Hosted by Mrs j. Hillsdon
We bought this property in 2013. Since then we have enjoyed many happy times here. I am actually from Plymouth, Devon & when I’m here I feel I’m “home”.
Why they chose this property
We have always loved this area of Cornwall. It doesn't feel as touristy as the North side. I feel like I'm Cornish when I'm here!!
What makes this property unique
Just a great location for eating, drinking, walking, golfing etc. 18-hole courses are at Carlyon Bay & Lanhydrock. Having Par railway station on our doorstep is a huge plus! You can actually get the train direct from Paddington to Par!
