2653 - Shrew Cottage
About the home
With accommodation for up to four people, this unique property provides an attractive and stylish base from which to explore this fascinating region. With its wood-burning stove, beams, wood panelled walls and sun trap garden, this charming semi detached cottage was once a fisherman's net-loft and can be found tucked away in a small courtyard, set back from the narrow main street of the village. The house offers quirky, traditional features combined with modern convenience and exceptional décor, with a fitted kitchen, comfortable sitting area and two bedrooms. The property is close to the centre of this thriving Cornish town and visitors can enjoy watching the fishermen land their catch just around the corner, or buy supper straight from the boat. In addition to its relaxing, traditional surroundings, this lovely cottage is ideally placed for the vibrant and exciting activities of the region, such as the Eden Project and various water sports.

The West Country / Cornwall region
Cornwall’s visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Or could it be the cliff-top theatre at Mynack, working harbours, the world famous Eden project or St Michaels Mount, cut off from the mainland by a causeway. Or even the endless activities on offer; the Camel Cycling and Walking Trail, stunning coastal paths or the National Surf Centre at Newquay’s Fistral beach. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain’s premier holiday destinations.
The Mevagissey area
With winding cobbled streets and a harbour full of boats, the quaint little town of Mevagissey is the epitome of a Cornish fishing village. This lovely little settlement offers stunning walks along the cliffs, sandy beaches and hidden covers to explore, as well as a great selection of pubs and restaurants. Very close to the village are the Lost Gardens of Heligan, whilst a ferry from Mevagissey to Fowey runs daily between Easter and September. Other attractions in the area include the Tall Ships harbour at Charlestown, its shipwreck museum and the tropical biomes of the world famous Eden Project - all of which are under 15 miles away. With fabulous beaches and the renowned gardens of the beautiful Roseland Peninsula within easy reach, this wonderful little village is an excellent place from which to explore the rest of Cornwall's diverse coastline.
