Gull's Rest

A snug harbour-view cottage for four, with a wood burner and a warm welcome for dogs.

About Gull's Rest

Gull's Rest is the kind of cottage you'll find yourself missing before you've even left. Built for a fisherman's family in the 1800s, it sits a few steps above the harbour, with thick stone walls, low beams and deep windows that frame the boats bobbing below.

Mornings start with the sound of gulls and the clink of rigging. Days are for the coast path, which runs past the end of the lane, and for long lunches in the sun. Evenings belong to the wood burner, a bottle of something local and the dog snoring on the rug.

It's perfect for couples, small families and anyone travelling with four-legged friends.

Location

Gull's Rest is on the lane just above the harbour, a one-minute walk from the water and the village shop, and two minutes from the pub. Steps lead up to the front door, so it may not suit guests with limited mobility.

  • Porthwenna Cove: 5 minutes' walk
  • Coast path: from the end of the lane
  • Village pub and café: 2 minutes' walk
  • Falmouth: around 25 minutes' drive
