Cregoes - a cottage that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Famous for its pretty marina and turquoise waters, it's clear to see why Mylor attracts sailors from far and wide to its sheltered waters. Just a short stroll from the marina, nestled peacefully on the banks of the River Fal is Cregoes, a charming holiday home for families longing for a tranquil escape to the coast.

The delightful white-washed cottage has large windows that look out from the living area, framing the view perfectly. On warm summer days, you can sit out on the manicured lawn and enjoy lazy afternoons watching boats dance on the water or spend peaceful evenings with a glass of something cold as the colours change across of the estuary.

Back inside the beautiful kitchen welcomes budding cooks with a working Aga and cooker, and the patio lends itself to dinners al fresco, all with an amazing view right through the cottage to the water beyond. When sleep beckons, four comfortable bedrooms provide a relaxing retreat for all the family.

Mylor marina is a hub of activity with a café, bar and restaurant that make the most of their waterside setting serving scrumptious seafood with the turquoise waters of the shimmering Fal Estuary as an inviting backdrop.

Boats, kayaks and stand up paddle boards can all be hired if you're more at home on the water. And for those who prefer to stay on dry land, you can explore the meandering coastline on foot or discover one of the many cycle trails that are peppered across the peninsula.
