Tywardreath, which literally means "The House on the Strand," is a picturesque and historically significant Cornish settlement that may be found right in the middle of Daphne du Maurier country. St. Andrew's Church in the village is rumoured to boast the best peal of bells in the region, and the town itself is bustling thanks to its many great bars and stores. Multiple sandy beaches within easy driving distance of the area offer a wide range of watersports and recreational opportunities. To reach the small china clay port of Par, which has a dog-friendly sandy beach and a main line train station, you may walk there in fifteen minutes or drive there in five. A coastal restaurant, pub, and watersports centre can be found at Polkerris Beach, which is a half-hour walk or a quick 5-minute drive away. Fowey is a picturesque waterside community about three miles away, and from there you may do some breathtaking cliff treks to Gribbin Head, passing through much of the familiar area that inspired du Maurier's novels. Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project, and the Lost Gardens of Heligan are just a few of the family-friendly destinations in the region. Tywardreath is a picturesque village in South Cornwall, perfect for vacationing families and history buffs.

Complete lack of interaction saddened me though.

Everything was very clean. Spacious lounge with unusual curved wall and several windows giving a lovely view. A welcome pack of Cornish tea, coffee and milk in the fridge. We took our own to be prepared but there were tea towels, washing up liquid, and dishwasher tablets . We cooked in the oven several times and there was a selection of well used baking trays. Only comment here is that the inside of the oven door wasnât cleaned and we wiped off old food stains. The towels were pristine white and soft however one bath towel and one hand towel each is not enough for a week. We had taken some of our own. The swimming pool was like a warm bath and we had it to ourselves each time we used it. I do think the toilet should have been fixed though as the lack of it limited our time in the pool. From the promotion of Willow cottage we thought there was only one other on the site and hadnât expected to see others in the vicinity although this was not detrimental to the location. Many local attractions are accessible. We enjoyed our stay and visited Fowey, (some very steep hills), Newquay Zoo, the Eden Project, Charlestown harbour and Mevagissey. There was plenty of literature in the cottage. There are lots of other places to visit and if staying longer we would have gone to the Seal Sanctuary. A car is essential but we found parking quite expensive. We would happily return except for us it is such a long drive. Everyone we met was very friendly.
