Entering the property via a flight of external steps, the stylish kitchen has plenty of equipment for preparing family feasts which you can share in the spacious lounge/diner with a cheery wood burner, Smart TV, sumptuous seating and sociable dining area. On the first floor there's a bathroom and three bedrooms: a twin, a king-size and a bunk bedroom, all with beautiful views. A steep staircase leads to the second floor and a fantastic en-suite king-size bedroom with a Smart TV, seating area and stunning views across to Fowey. At the front of the house, a decked area looks out across the estuary, perfect for relaxing with your pet lying in the shade. From the kitchen, a stable door leads to a quiet courtyard with access to a utility room and steps up to a large garden with three terraces. A pay and display carpark is just 400 metres away.

Dogs are welcome at the secluded beach of Lantic Bay (1.5 miles), and there are miles of unforgettable inland walks for you and your four-legged friend to discover. A pet-friendly ferry leads over the river to the delightful coastal resort of Fowey (1 mile), with a range of cheerful pet-welcoming places to eat and drink.

Amazing , very well equipped house. The views are amazing - only downside is not being able to park the car close by and there being steep slopes and steps to access the property which my elderly mother found difficult.

The house has stunning views of the estuary from inside & out, there's a lovely new deck at the front from where you really can make the most of these. The house is well equipped for catering for up to 8 guests; has a large corner sofa and family dinning table. This was our 3rd stay & this time we did have a few issues with cleanliness. I reported Read morethese so am sure the owners will address them with their cleaners. Note steep 2nd stairs and you need to take your own cleaning products & hand soaps. Hide

The house was spotless, with every conceivable piece of equipment you could want to use! Very homely, and comfortable. The pictures on the website don't really do it justice, the view over the harbour never failed to impress! The rear patio areas, also beautifully presented, with established planting, and yet more seating and lounge areas.. be prepRead moreared for steep walks wherever you go though! Not an area for people who struggle on their feet. Only a short walk to the 2 pubs, and the harbour, ehe! Hide

We have recently had the most wonderful stay at 'Providence House'. The property was comfortable and clean and perfect for housing a party of 8 adults / teens. The dining room was a super place for us to enjoy family dinners and the sofa big enough for everyone to relax on. The kitchen had a great double oven and having the utility room just outsidRead moree was brilliant too, it had absolutely everything we needed. We would definitely book again. Thank you so much for sharing your home! Hide

Well appointed. Clean and comfy. Reasonably close to car park but it is a steep path and around 20 steps too. Path down to quayside is similarly steep but only 5 minutes. Even the stairs in the house are on the steep side. The views are fabulous and the outside terraces are great with masses of seating. In all it is a splendid property.
