About this property
Welcome to Peg's, a delightful traditional white fisherman's cottage brimming with character. Enjoy partial sea views from both floors, where newly refurbished contemporary style meets rustic elegance.
Just a few steps away, you'll find a three-mile stretch of sandy beach, perfect for sun-soaked days and seaside strolls. A gentle amble brings you to the bustling village harbour, teeming with charming shops, art and craft galleries, and exceptional restaurants and pubs.
The sunroom offers a cozy entrance to the spacious living area. The open-plan ground floor, with its wood floors, white panelled walls, exposed stone end-wall, and ceiling beams, creates a light and welcoming atmosphere. Relax in the comfortable sitting room, dine in the attractive dining area, and cook up a storm in the well-equipped farmhouse-style kitchen. Deep-silled cushioned window seats provide the perfect nooks for reading or gazing out at the sea.
Upstairs, you'll find two bright and stylish bedrooms with inviting double and twin beds, dressed in crisp white linen and quirky jewel-coloured throws. The bathroom features a three-quarter bath and a powerful shower-head for a refreshing experience.
Step outside to the slate-paved planted patio, a sheltered haven ideal for lazy breakfasts, alfresco dining, and sunbathing. Peg's is also the perfect bolt-hole for a snug winter hideaway or a romantic, relaxing escape.

They were both very impressed with the location, comfort and facilities in the cottage. I would not hesitate in recommending Peg's to anyone wishing to explore this beautiful area of Cornwall. One very small point. The door to the twin bedroom does not shut properly. I had not noticed this on previous visits.

Rather difficult to to work but lots of dvds so we happily watched those in the evening. Lovely quiet spot apart from the seagulls !! Fay Evans

Cottage was clean to an excellent standard and the kitchen was extremely well equipped. The location was ideal. The perfect base for exploring the area by foot or car. We would happily recommend Pegs to any family and friends and hope we get to stay there again. Thankyou
