Fantastic cottage at the end of Mawgan Creek. Own Jetty. Rowing boat. Privacy. Birdlife. Seals. Paddle boarded to our hearts delight. Stunning view from the back garden. Helston and Porthleven near enough to visit. ##### Warren C. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### jon B. 30 Oct 2018 #### a chilled break with everchanging view to die for Top location at the top of Mawgan Creek - cottage with its own decked landing stage. Family spent the week in racing kayaks and SUPs exploring the river between Helford and Gweek. felt like gone back in time - felt connected with the flood and ebb of the tide. Sheltered, great birdlife wildlife and amazing sunsets on the water. Tidal creek dries out at low water but we got in & out inside 3hrs either side of HW. Recommended. Seal sanctuary at Gweek also worth visit- food at Ship Mawgan fab ##### jon B. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris C. 29 Jul 2013 #### Idyllic Creek-side Cottage Rock Cottage is stunningly beautiful. The first view of the garden and the Mawgan Creek beyond was breath-taking, and the cottage itself a real home-from-home. We had everything we needed and a lot more besides. We enjoyed crabbing off the jetty and explored the creek in the rowing boat as far as Tremaine Quay. The wildlife in the creek is a joy to watch at all states of the tide. We were celebrating my wife's 50th birthday and could not have wished for a more peaceful location within easy reach of some fantastic beaches. Church Cove and Gunwalloe Fishing Cove were our favourites but we also visited Land's End, St Ives, Kynance Cove, Polurrian Beach and the tip of the Lizard. We would certainly recommend a visit to the Minack Theatre if you can fit it in - an experience not to missed. Thank you Linda and Robin for all your careful attention to detail and for making our stay so enjoyable. ##### Chris C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### John H., Romsey, Hampshire, UK 10 Sept 2018 #### Perfect location It's no exaggeration - you really do get these wonderful views sitting at the table outside, or even from the big window in the kitchen/breakfast room. We spent a good part of every morning and evening just gazing and looking at all the interesting birds, such as Redshanks, Curlew, Little Egrets, even an Osprey! The cottage itself is immaculate. Everything is new or in very good condition, and it's all there - both filter and cafetiere for coffee, two ovens and a microwave, etc. etc. and lovely bedding. The local pub has excellent food, but you really do need to book in advance. It's a 15 minute walk there, maybe a bit less on the way back as it is then downhill... And the village shop has a lot of excellent local produce. The only possible downside to Rock Cottage is that there is only the one bathroom, downstairs. And if you are in the lovely annex bedroom you have to go across the little courtyard to reach it, but you do have the compensation of lovely views of the creek from your bed! So thank you Linda and Robin, we really enjoyed our stay. ##### John H. Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rhian M. 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Superb! What a fantastic property, I cannot recommend Rock Cottage highly enough! We had the most wonderful week here - everything written about it is 100% true but it's so much more than that. Firstly, the cottage's location is ideal - despite being a very short drive/walk away from Mawgan village, the cottage itself is fantastically private and there's literally nobody in sight in any direction. It has, without question, the best view possible of the tidal river and the wonderfully gnarly trees that line it - we were mesmerised, no matter the time or the weather. The avid bird watcher among us was similarly thrilled by the fabulous variety of feathered friends that were continually present. Secondly, the cottage itself is beautiful. It's in excellent condition and fabulously maintained. We were especially touched by the thoughtfulness of the welcoming scones, cream, home-made bread and many more treats that awaited us after a long journey to Cornwall - thank you so much Linda! Everything we needed was there and in addition there was plenty of space for all of our fulsome paraphernalia. The kitchen's vista is incredible and we spent a great deal of our time there, it really is the heart of the house. Every room in the house is just great, but the Garden Room in particular is also gorgeous and it too has the most spectacular view. Indeed, its being separate from the main cottage made it an ideal retreat for the 13-year old in our party! Finally, the privacy of the cottage really is its selling point for us. There's a great deal of land attached to Rock Cottage, which is so much fun to explore. The main part of the garden is on a significant slope, but the very manageable steps, the charming stepping stones, the different levels, the well-placed benches, the fantastic jetty and the excitement of the neighbouring wood make it an outdoor wonderland. Being able to use Peggy the rowing boat was such a bonus, as was the crabbing equipment. Wetsuits are highly recommended when swimming, but this is true of all British waterways! Also, wellies are essential because of the mud when the tide is out. There is no downside to Rock Cottage whatsoever - it's wonderful. The tides mean there's a limit on how much time you're able to spend in the water. Happily, however, the mud flats are gorgeous to look at and the plethora of stunning Cornish beaches are about 20 minutes' drive away, depending on which direction you choose. We'll definitely return! ##### Rhian M.

As a family with two children, aged 8 & 10, plus grandparents who stayed in the beautiful garden room, we had the most wonderful week. Thank you Linda & Robin! ##### Clare D.

Very comfortable and well equipped - we used the bbq almost every night. It was beautiful out on the creek In the boat. I also swam in the creek a few times (in a wetsuit - but the water seemed to get warmer as the week went on, or Ingot used to it!). If you get tired of watching the changing vista of the creek - the tide coming in and out, the fish and the bird life - there is plenty to do within a 30 min drive: coastal walks, gorgeous beaches and pretty fishing villages. Be prepared for single track roads, rough car parking steep slopes though! A great place to stay. ##### Amanda H.

The views out of the back of the cottage are absolutely stunning. We had a wonderful time walking the lizard coastline and playing on the beaches. The kids had hours of fun in the boat and crabbing from the jetty. The cottage was well equipped and everything well thought through for our stay. I’d highly recommend staying here ##### Paul S.

A wonderful stay for 4 days in a fantastic cottage. The cottage was spotlessly clean with everything you need for a short or long holiday. The garden and views were stunning, it was very hard to drag ourselves away from the window..! The location was great for The Lizard and surrounding area, everything within a short drive. The owners are very friendly and provided excellent service before and during our stay. They made us feel very welcome we instantly relaxed on arrival. 5 Stars are not enough....! ##### Peter N.

Rock Cottage is a beautiful home to relax and refresh yourself. The cottage is set in a very privileged position overlooking the creek where no other dwelling or human activity can be seen. You feel like you've got the entire valley (if that's what you call the view) to yourself and can't believe it is the most popular holiday destination in the country. We enjoyed a row in Peggy and the rise and fall of the tide, the cry and songs of the birds and the calming shades of greenery all around. The cottage is very cosy, clean and well equipped and furnished tastefully. We enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table most of all, where the birds and the ever-changing creek kept us always entertained. At night we enjoyed the stars and the Milky Way high above us. Linda was a lovely host, who welcomed us warmly and left a lovely cream tea set-up on our arrival. She didn't tire of my endless questions ( although I am sure she would be - I'd be tired of my own questions!) I asked via email and answered them swiftly. One thing I would note is that the garden is very steep in some of the slopes given the fact that it's on a rock and you can't do much about that. So you need extra extra care with children under 5. We knew we wouldn't be able to let the kids run free whilst at the cottage but we still booked because we can manage that with the positives the cottage has to offer. We had three adults to supervise and they were happy enough on the patio. Plus the children ran free on the many beaches on offer so they didn't feel restricted. So altogether it was a beautiful place to stay. ##### Shifia B.

The bird life is amazing and the vista is ever changing. We also found it very sheltered from the wind and enjoyed sitting out even when the weather worsened towards the end of our holiday. The cottage itself is a lovely character property with all amenities you could want. Despite its quiet location it is also well situated to visit many beautiful beaches and villages on the Lizard and beyond. ##### Graham R.

As soon as we walked through the gate and saw the view we immediately started to relax. The changing of the tide, the birds on the creek and in the garden all helped us connect with nature. We walked miles on the coast path and visited many lovely places. Cottage was very clean, cosy and well equipped. Just what we needed. Great weather an added bonus. Would strongly recommend it. A real tonic for these difficult times. The little goodies also appreciated and even some snacks for our dogs! Thanks for letting us stay. ##### Nigel T. ### 8/10 Good #### Paula B. 20 Sept 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Pretty Cottage A very pretty cottage in a beautiful setting on the river. ##### Paula B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susanna D. 18 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful cottage with breath taking views This really is one of the most magical places we have ever stayed.

Rock Cottage surpassed all our expectations. The ever changing views from the kitchen and garden of the tidal river are mesmerising. If you can tear yourself away from the well equipped, cosy cottage, there is so much to do and see within easy reach. The nearby Ship Inn does excellent food in the evenings which is a 10-15 minute walk into the village. There is also a well equipped local shop here. 15 minutes in the other direction from the cottage is Gear Farm. Their award winning Cornish Pasties are not to be missed! Perfect to take on a hike as they stay warm for hours. We enjoyed exploring and managed to see all the bits of Cornwall we came to see, and a lot more from this base. The hosts have thought of everything and the treats on arrival were very much appreciated! We will return. ##### Marianne K.
