It was a nice house, in a good location. The ferry to get to Fowey was very close, and the local pubs were nice. The house is very controlled by the owners, so thermostats are locked, hot water doesnt work at certain hours, and there are lots of instructions throughout the house. The hill to get to the ferry is very steep, so be weary to those withRead more mobility issues. It was very nice to have a hot tub in the evenings and the kitchen was well equipped. Overall it was a nice time. Hide

We have stayed in quite a few rental properties and this location was lovely.This house is well situated in a quiet part of Cornwall but with easy access to many quaint towns via ferry if you didn't want to drive around the very narrow roads. There was plenty to see and do from walking to beach time to boat hire to shopping. The house had beautifulRead more views and was close to a fab bakery. The kids loved the media room and I loved the sauna. Not for anyone with accessibility issues. Hide

This is a great house. As you always read, the photos don't do it justice and this really applies to the Glass House.

What an amazing property! Had an lovely week here with three generations of our family staying in spacious comfort.

The house had a beautiful outlook and very sunny position at the top of a very steep hill accessed by road or footpaths. The local Lugger pub was excellent to be found at the bottom of the hill with a convenience store, baker , cafe and another pub plus the regular foot ferry to Fowey.
