From St Mawes, and again by foot ferry, it is possible to cross to Falmouth.
Tucked to one side of a large farmhouse the cottages are reached from an unmade track (where there is room to park) and a short path which leads to a wall and gate at the end of the row. There are open plan gardens to the front and service areas to the rear but each has its own spacious main garden reached by a few steps at the further end of the row about 75 yards away. Crotchet has a large lawn, drying area and lovely wide views of the countryside and sea beyond.
Porthbeor beach can be reached by footpath and a flight of steps; Towan beach about 3/4 mile down the lane has a National Trust car park and easy access by a sloping path.
