Guest Reviews

Kim
Fabulous airy and bright accomodation with stunning views. We had a lovely week with all our needs catered for thank you weรข??ll definitely be back!!
Jonathan
Kitchen layout not optimal, eg cutlery drawer away from the action. A toilet on the top floor would be good too.
Matthew
Seacroft is beautifully positioned overlooking Fowey and the Estuary. Waking up to that view is something very special and we loved seeing friends on the terrace, with the backdrop of Fowey and further down the Estuary. Beware, it is a long and steep walk down to the house from the car park, but it's worth it when you get there and the two pubs - The Lugger and The Russell are just a few minutes walk along West Street. We had a boat, so it was incredibly easy to get down to the pontoon whenever we wanted to go out on her. Having access to the estuary from the garden, it was great to be able to paddle board off the end of the garden at higher tide.
Katherine
Great house. Fabulous view.
