Cremyll Cottage

01/07/2022

OVER AND OUT!

After three and a half years running the cottage, and the previous 18 months turning it into the cottage, it with a whole mixture of sadness, pride and excitement that this week, we exchanged contracts on the sale of it and our family home. It’s been brilliant and knackering in equal parts, running the cottage, doing up our family home, and both working too. Throw into that three lockdowns, and an absolute little miracle addition to our family two years ago and we made the decision that something had to change. Stonehouse has been the most welcoming and wonderful place to live and we will be frequent visitors in the future. We’re incredibly grateful to have had so many bookings and lovely reviews from guests all over the world and send the biggest thank you to those who stayed with us. I have absolutely loved seeing people fall in love with this wonderful city. For now, once our last guests leave after the weekend, we will be packing up and moving on to pastures new in another part of the city, swapping sea views for the woods and no guest check ins/ cleaning after work/ laundry/ late night trips to buy welcome packs / locked out guests / funny requests and all the rest! I think there’s a book in there somewhere….

A wonderful mix of art, history, culture and sunshine at today. Really difficult to show in a photo but the work in the final two pictures is made totally of plasters!

Royal William Yard and Mount Edgcumbe behind. What a view!

Mount Edgcumbe country park this morning, we did a proper explore of all the gardens which we haven’t done in years. Really worth the ferry trip over on the Cremyll Ferry for some great exploring with or without children!

Favourite time of year again - the boats are going back in on this very grey and drizzly day! Here comes summer…. (she says optimistically) 🔆

Getting the cottage ready for our guests tomorrow after this mornings guests departed for California in the early hours! Lucky them! Love this reflection in the kitchen splashback window (which also acts as a lightwell into the second bedroom). Such beautiful sunsets at this time of year 🔆

A lovely dog walk this evening in the beautiful light. Love these steps down to this little cove at devils point, a lovely spot to watch the boats going by 💙

Throw back to those big summer skies 💙 Our latest guest left this morning to head back to San Francisco, and I realised how nice it is to slowly be welcoming international guests again after so long away.

And that’s a wrap! Last guests of the year checked in for New Years and now ready to collapse in a heap, for a few days at least! Thanks to all those guests who stayed with us this year, and those who have booked for next year! It’s been a funny old year having only been allowed to reopen on 12th April and ending the year with yet more cancellations thanks to the 🦠… here’s hoping 2022 will be better all round for everyone 🤞🏻. I took this pic on our dogwalk yesterday going through the tunnel at Clearbrook in Dartmoor, a lovely walk where you can end up at the Skylark Inn for a warming pint or cycle the 20 miles from the cottage along the Drakes Trail to get there! Happy New Year!

Yesterday we received our 100th five star review on Airbnb! ⭐️ Quite a milestone, and to have made it to 100 reviews without dropping a star is something we are super proud of! It’s really hard work to make sure that the cottage is as good as it can be for every single booking. We have had the best guests and feel very grateful that people choose to stay with us! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

We’re lucky enough to have this brilliant little playground right opposite the cottage! It’s a huge hit with the many families that stay with us and with those views you can see why!

Great to take a walk this morning to to see the installation ‘Putting things in Perspective’. Yet more great and colourful art for Plymouth, there until the 5th September ❤️

The good thing about being a taxi service for a teenager is that you go out and about at times when you might not usually do! Had to take a pic this evening with the water looking so calm, RWY looking so bright and the big looming clouds above!

Funny to be scrolling through the local paper online and see an image and little write up of the cottage!

Plymouthians may have walked past these buildings and never known the hidden gems waiting inside

Tree-lined walkways, cows in the fields, beautiful Mt Edgcumbe house, water all around and to top it all off, a well deserved treat at or the orangery, a mooch around and shops, and all just a 30 second walk and an 8 minute ferry ride away from the cottage! City living with the coast and countryside right on the doorstep! .

TBT beautiful sunsets on Plymouth Hoe instead of howling gales and rain! 😬

The arch at Royal William Yard, never tire of the sneaky peak into the Plymouth Sound that it gives! Ever changing but always stunning!
