Accommodation:
In the centre of the North Cornish Coastline lies Trewetha Cottage, a
traditional 3-up-3- down, slate roof, Cornish cob cottage. The Cottage has
thick whitewashed stone walls with deep window seats, real fireplaces,
wood paneling and a large garden backing onto fields. It occupies a superb
location within walking distance of both Port Isaac's pretty winding streets and
shops and the
narrow inlet of Port Gaverne with its sailing and hotel.
The cottage contains
one double and one twin bedroom (with additional pull-out bed), plus a properly sprung sofa bed in the downstairs living room.
There is a large family bathroom and separate toilet upstairs. The living room contains
a TV, DVD player and CD player. The dining room has a wood burning stove and the
kitchen is equipped with a washing machine and tumble dryer. There is a lot of
off road parking available in front and to the side of the cottage with room for
several cars and length for a trailer.
Location:
Trewetha lies between the two quaint fishing ports of
Port Isaac and Port Gaverne. Both beaches can be reached on a short walk
from the cottage down rural pathways to the sea. Port Isaac is a
narrow fishing harbour and part of the North Cornish Coastal Footpath.
Lobster and crab are still brought to shore by fishing boat. A medieval
fish market and stores are still in use today (see left photo below). A
gently shelving pebbled beach gives way to rock pools full of crab and
tiny fish to net. (see right photo below.) Several hotels and restaurants
including The Slipway Hotel offer excellent food and there's a renowned
fish and chip shop. Boats are for hire from the harbour for mackeral
fishing and spotting basking sharks. Port Gaverne is a fine pebble beach with boat
launches, grassy cliff tops and the excellent Port Gaverne Hotel and bar.
It is famous for its annual off-shore rowing race.
West of the cottage lies Wadebridge, the start of the Camel Cycle Trail
and a source of supermarkets and take away meals. Padstow, home to Rick
Steins Fish Restaurant and boat trips is a short drive away. To the East
lies Tintagel, believed to be the ancient site of King Arthur's
castle. There's the magnificent heritage coastal walk, the
Camel Cycle Trail, excellent surfing at nearby Polzeath and magnificent
sands at Rock. Numerous heritage houses and children's attractions are
open in summer within the area.
