Cregoes

A white-washed cottage on the banks of the Fal estuary at Mylor Bridge, Cregoes sleeps 8 across 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The property sits close to the marina, with large windows in the living area framing views across the water. Dogs are welcome.

Inside, the kitchen centres on a working Aga alongside a conventional cooker - a solid setup for group cooking. A dishwasher and washing machine cover the practical bases. The open fire and wood burner give two options for warming the place on cooler evenings, and wifi keeps everyone connected.

Outside, a garden with lawn area runs down toward the estuary. A BBQ and patio make the most of the waterside position for outdoor eating. Off-road parking is included. Castle Beach is the nearest stretch of sand at 3.2 km, with Gyllyngvase Beach in Falmouth 3.8 km away.

Mylor Bridge village has a post office, grocery store, fishmonger, butcher and the Lemon Arms pub all within walking distance. Mylor Yacht Harbour - about 2 miles along the creek - offers boat hire, paddleboard rental and dinghy courses on the sheltered Fal. The Pandora Inn, a 13th-century waterside pub, is reachable on foot along the coastal path. Falmouth is less than 5 miles south, and Truro about 7 miles northeast. Prices start from 869 per night.
