Property Description
is a cosy, comfortable and delightfully quirky holiday cottage, refurbished and equipped in 2016 to a very good standard throughout, and ideally positioned for quick and easy access to/from the town and local sandy beaches.

The famous harbour and estuary, popular with sailors and other watersports enthusiasts, is within 50m or so of the cottage, whilst the beautiful beaches of East Portlemouth and Millbay can be accessed via a small passenger ferry that runs from the town all year round.
