The Location

Flushing is a picturesque waterside village across the water from Falmouth.  It is possible to imagine yesterday's Cornwall here.  Many sea captains and officers of the 18th century made their homes on the waterfront in small but well-designed houses, giving the village a variety of pleasant architecture.  Flushing is reputed to have the mildest climate in England, and the evening sunsets are magnificent.  

There is a good restaurant on the quayside.  Two pubs and several little shops are in the village.   From the quayside is a passenger ferry to Falmouth where connections can be made to other boats to explore further afield by water. 

Kiln Quay Beach in Flushing is popular with local families.  The coastal path between Flushing and Mylor is spectacular and Mylor has waterside cafes where you can re-fuel with a Cornish Cream Tea - or something stronger - before returning along the path to Flushing.

There is a really good grassy playground on the hill at Flushing called "The Bowling Green".  It is only a short walk from Clottage.  The views from up there are lovely and there are places to picnic.

Falmouth is accessible by the passenger boat, or about a 10 minute drive.  In Falmouth are waterside shops and galleries and The National Maritime Museum, Falmouth, is a fun place to visit at any age.   Good beaches.

The Cottage

Clottage is a delightful traditional terraced cottage near the waterfront and facing the sea.  It is one of a group of five pretty cottages, fronted by a walled and gated lawn, and there are water views from all the front windows.

The owners  have created a welcoming and very comfortable house.  All rooms have co-ordinating furnishings and good furniture.  The colour scheme has natural tones of pleasing blues and white.

Enter through the front door into a most attractive sitting/dining room (TV, DVD, CD player).  This has a window seat overlooking the lawn and view, comfortable furniture, and a dining area with French doors to a small back patio.  A door leads to a small, well-fitted modern kitchen (dishwasher, microwave) with back door to the back patio and outside boiler/utility room (washing machine, tumble drier).

Upstairs is a double bedroom facing the water view, and a twin room at the back.  Also facing the water is a small room with two bunk beds.  Newly fitted family bathroom with bath, shower cubicle and WC.

A reserved parking space is available for visitors'use.

A visitors' mooring is sometimes possible on request.
