This was our second visit to Little Gem. It is a small cottage, but well kitted out, clean and very comfortable. Lerryn is a pretty village with a tidal river, which sometimes floods! We would recommend a visit to the Ship Inn where they serve excellent meals in a lovely atmosphere. We hope to visit this great area again....

We absolutely loved this place! Can't fault it at all. Such a cosy, peaceful escape. Has everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable stay. We loved the little seated area at the front of the cottage, where we had breakfast each day. The village shop/cafe is handy too, just along the road and they do brilliant breakfast baps. Lots of little footpaths to explore and we enjoyed running down the trail paths along the other side of the river. Would highly recommend! ...

Great place for a mobile couple. Quiet area with plenty of opportunities for walks. Off peak probably best time to go though, as roads around are very narrow. Friendly neighbours and owners of the pub very welcoming.

Lovely location in a cosy cottage for 2 fully furnished and equipped for a comfortable stay. Useful local shop selling coffee and pasties along the road. Had a few drinks by the fire in the Ship Inn. Beautiful walks by the river every day in rain and shine. We spent a pleasant morning in Fowey pottering around the shops. Will definitely be back. Thank you....
