  • "This is a lovely house in a beautiful area."

    It was seriously let down by a overgrown, neglected garden, definitely not worthy of 5 stars. The paving slabs were slippery, stinging nettles were growing through the decking. One of the steps on the decking was broken, the bbq area was overgrown. Hand rails by the stairs could not be used due to thorns. Sending someone to do 2hrs in the garden did not solve these problems. Our holiday was booked at this property as we wanted to be able to use a garden but couldn't. If you are booking this property, it is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues or with young children as the 30 stairs you have to go up make it tricky. The view would have been spectacular had the windows been cleaned. Some kitchen essentials like a tin opener and oven gloves were missing. I really hope the garden gets the attention it needs to make it usable for future stays, it would then be worthy of its rating.

  • "We arrived at The Watchers to find that it hadn’t been cleaned."

    The beds were unmade. There was a broken wine glass on the side and the previous visitors had left bowls and pans on the draining board. No toilet roll in one bathroom. Towel holders empty. Hoover on the worktop. Tea towels just plonked on the side. Crumbs on the worktop in the kitchen and bits all over the floor. I called the first number and there was no answer. I called the second number and this was answered. I explained the situation and she asked if she could call me back when she found out what had happened. She did and said she didn’t know what had happened but would send two cleaners within the hour. They didn’t arrive so I called. Signal was bad so I sent a message. The reply was ‘10 mins x’. They eventually arrived probably an hour and a half later. They were very apologetic (and brought two bottles of wine to say sorry) they brought a young baby in a car seat which was put on the floor downstairs. I understand they may have been called in at very late notice but we then had to make sure the two dogs weren’t walking around so had to have them on our laps. The outside patio area was quite messy and the glass on the table was filthy and not on the table properly. In general the whole outside is very overgrown and messy. And one of us walked down the wooden stairs and it cracked. It was a very stressful start to what was an emotional family weekend to scatter my parents ashes at Sennen Cove, and was totally unacceptable.

    As per 1st night review the property had the promised views and the interior was lovely and spacious to be able to cook and sit back and enjoy the view The issues where outside the list says narrow lane with turning area but the turning area says no turning and is chained off, so you need to hope the other houses are empty and use their drives/parking to turn in as you won’t want to try to reverse out And the property out side is neglected weeds everywhere grass not cut and deck area unusable as slippy and the steps up to the deck not been even and also slippy

The property

Tywardreath 2.6 miles.

This stunning, detached property sits in the idyllic riverside village of Golant near Fowey, Cornwall.

Affording beautiful views down the river, The Watchers provides a magnificent base for a family looking to spend quality time together.

Stepping inside, the ground-floor offers a bright and airy open-plan living space, with an amply appointed kitchen housing all the essentials for home-cooking, whilst the centre dining table is ideal for mealtimes.

Move over to the sitting area and you’ll be drawn to the stunning river views, with a corner sofa and two chairs for you to relax on.

Sort out your laundry in the utility room, complete with washing machine and tumble dryer, before locating a twin bedroom and adjacent contemporary shower room.

Move upstairs and discover further class, with three tasteful bedrooms to choose from; the master occupies a generous super-king-size with freestanding bath and en-suite shower, whilst there is also another super-king-size and twin with beautiful presentation.

Completing the interior is a gleaming family bathroom, providing a choice of roll-top bath with hand-held shower, or a separate walk-in shower, so you can best decide how to prepare for your day.

At the rear of The Watchers lies a decked area with furniture, so you can enjoy alfresco dining with a view, whilst there is off-road parking at the front for one car, with extra parking available in the village at an additional cost.

Just around the corner is a traditional pub, the Fishermans Arms, offering a hearty menu and selection of ales, whilst a little further up the road lies a popular bar, the Bar Silo Cornwall, perfect for a greater variety of beverages.

In Golant you will find Encounter Cornwall who run water activities such as Kayak trips as well as stand-up paddleboarding lessons and tours.

Take off further afield and explore pretty coves with sandy beaches nearby such as Lantic Bay and Ready Money Cove with the town of St Austell within easy driving distance.

Head to the historic port town of Fowey, where you can visit Fowey Museum, explore the Aquarium, take the ferry across the harbour to Polruan or join the scenic South West Coast Path for breath-taking walks.

Escape to The Watchers for a holiday you won’t forget.

About the location

TYWARDREATH

Fowey 3.3 miles; St Austell 6.3 miles.

The pretty, historic Cornish village of Tywardreath, meaning ‘The House on the Strand’, lies in the heart of Daphne du Maurier country and features in her book of the same name. St Andrew’s, the village church, is said to have the best peal of bells in the area, while the village has a lively community, centred round its excellent pubs and range of shops. There are several safe, sandy beaches close to the village, with a variety of watersports and leisure activities available. Par, a small, china clay port with a dog friendly sandy beach is a fifteen minute walk from the village or 5 minutes in the car, home to a main line railway station. Polkerris Beach, a 30 minute walk or a 5 minute drive away, has a beachside restaurant, pub and watersports centre. The attractive waterside village of Fowey is just three miles away, from where there are some dramatic cliff walks to Gribbin Head, passing through much of du Maurier’s familiar landscape. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Tywardreath is a village that will appeal to families and those keen to explore the rich heritage and gorgeous coastline of South Cornwall.
