Welcome to Little Gem - and what a little gem it is! (Update 2026, the owner has added a small flood-prevention step at the entrance to the property).
The wood-burner effect electric stove creates a focal point and adds warmth, without the effort!

Relax on the comfy sofa after a day out exploring the delights of the area.

The ancient bridge that crosses the river.
The village hall offers plenty of activities and a warm welcome to visitors.
Fowey is just along the coast and well worth a visit.

A really lovely cottage in a beautiful and relaxing location. Just to note though the spiral staircase would be a challenge for anyone with mobility issues.
Mr Towers July 2025
Very pleased! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, using the interior and the outside space to the full. Location great, especially for walking and also for getting to know locals. Off the beaten track, relaxed and tranquil. We shall return!

Third time we have stopped here. Love the location, lovely village. Some excellent walks from the village. Little Gem is a perfect base and great for couples. Don’t bring a big suitcase as you will struggle getting it up the spiral staircase (hold all’s are better) Great that it has a washer/dryer so no need to bring a mountain of clothing ...

Lovely cottage in beautiful location. Great base to explore Cornwall from, but also lovely village with all the services you'd need if you just wanted to kick back and relax for a week or 2.
Mr Howett August 2025
We had a good week in this cottage, which is in a lovely location and enjoyed some great walks in the local area. Very good little shop for the essentials and the Pub is also handy being just a short stroll away.
