About this cottage rental
Believed to have been be built in the 1700's, Spindrift is a rambling waterside property nestled into its gardens and orchard/field behind the house.
There are two light filled double bedrooms available upstairs, both with water views. One has a
King sized 5ft wide bed complete with a Royal blue tall velvet headboard and the other has a Super King 6ft wide bed. All the beds have new and very high quality mattresses. All bed linen and towels are of a similar quality. Upstairs there are is a modern and light filled tiled shower room with toilet.
Downstairs there is a lovely slate floored sitting room and dining room all with different river views. There is a large open fire. The side house entrance opens onto the utility room and downstairs cloakroom with toilet. The kitchen has triple aspect windows mainly to the water and it is fully equipped with everything a cook might need, including a large range cooker.
All floors downstairs are black riven slate.
There is TV and wireless internet.
This is not really a holiday home, but our real home. What we like, you can use. We have books and art and well... stuff... It feels like a real home. It's the way we like you to stay.
Surfing and sailing are popular on this coast. We have a mooring right for a boat from the river opposite The water is tidal. You can also fish from the shore.
The front of the house is surrounded by an old low stone wall. This is a real sun trap and good to sit out on, particularly when there is a spectacular sunset.. Our gardens are approached through an arch and up some steep steps to countless lawns and beds. It's a great exploring garden. We have large tables and chairs for eating at on the level first garden, or outside the house. The views are amazing. Follow the steps up through the garden and you will come to our very secluded bluebell field. This is totally safe for kids and a great place to picnic, play games, climb trees etc. It has great views of the river.

Spindrift remains our dream house anywhere in the world. Being a home, it’s has a wonderful calming and inviting energy and it’s setting, with windows to three sides and seemingly endless water is peerless.
Caz is a great host and the area is wonderful - Days spent on Cawsand beach and fresh fish at the bay followed by dinner at home on one of the raised gardens overlooking the estuary. We will be back soon! Thank you Caz and Paul.

We stayed for four nights at the house and we had a wonderful experience. We are a family of three, mum-dad and 9 year old child. The house idle very big and spacious. It has a lot of character with many ornaments, art pieces and furniture that all seem to have a story. The owners are excellent and repurposing old materials and furniture and giving them a new purpose and lease of life. You could tell that the owners love their home and have a eye for good quality and special objects/ furniture/ materials/ upholstery.
If you like houses to look new and sleek and modern, like a new-built, then this might not be your style.
We loved it. The house feels like it is on water- especially when the tide is in, everywhere you look, you see the water in the estuary. The light of Plymouth in the distance are lovely and even though there are some houses nearby, you do also feel like you are somewhere remote and special.
The beds were very comfortable with lovely linen and soft down duvets and pillows. It felt very luxurious. There is also a huge garden at the back, with lovely views, leading into woodland.
It is a wonderful place to walk or cycle from to Millbrook-the nearest village. It is quiet, with little traffic, yet feels very safe.
The fact that the house is old and has character does not mean it does not have all the north amenities. A massive gas cooker, electric oven, washing machine and drier, dishwasher and an electric shower, big fridge-freezer and there are radiators everywhere, as well as a fireplace. TV is a smart one with Netflix on. The fact that this is a proper home means that if you wanted you could cook a proper, complex meal or bake food/cakes etc you could, with all the crockery and cutlery required.
We just cooked simple meals of course, since we were out for most of the day and on holiday!
The house is lovely- we cannot praise it enough. It is old yet feels airy, bright and light. There are many windows and you can watch the water and the nature from wherever you stand.
We cannot wait to go back and we thank the owners/hosts for letting us live in their well loved house for a while.
We hope to be back soon!
