Luxury Beachside Cottage Number 2 Near Portwrinkle Beach
Number 2 is a beautiful stone cottage in secure private communal grounds with designated secure underground parking for two cars, a private hot tub on your balcony from which to enjoy stunning sea views and, if you can bear to drag yourself away, situated just a few meters from: the beach with its great mixture of sand and rock pools - perfect for all the family; the South West Coast Path; an 18 hole golf course; and a short distance from Looe, Polperro, Liskeard, and Plymouth.
Built around 15 years ago, with all the charm and appearance of a period property, but furnished to a high standard with all the luxuries of modern living contained within. At the end of your holiday you won't want to leave!
Situated in the perfect location, just 15 minutes from the A38 it is easy to get to by car or by train (St Germans train station is just 5 miles away by taxi). Whether you are looking for a family holiday, a romantic hideaway, just to get away from it all, or to do something active in the clean Cornish air, whatever your interests, Number 2 The Fish Cellars has it all:
For families with little ones: With discrete safety gates at the top of the stairs for Mum and Dad's peace of mind, two high chairs so no one is excluded at meal times, a step, potty, toilet seat, travel cot and baby monitor are all on site so you don't have to bring yours or worry if you have forgotten something.
For families with older ones: The cinema room provides their own den, complete with a 55 inch screen TV, cinema sound system including DVD player, Xbox and PS2 games systems, as well as super fast 150 Mb/s BT fibre wifi throughout the property for connecting their own devices.

Laid by Fernie of Troon in 1905, this unique 18-hole golf course is designed for the holiday golfer as well as the serious club golfer and is situated just a 5 minute walk away.
For walkers: the SW Coastal Path passes immediately in front of the property. The South West Coast Path is England's longest way-marked long distance footpath (and one of the longest in the UK) and a National Trail. It stretches for 630 miles (1,014 km), running from Minehead in Somerset, along the coasts of Devon and Cornwall, passing through Portwrinkle on its way to its end in Poole Harbour in Dorset.
For those quite nights in: Curl up and take in the incredible sea views either from your very own balcony including its own hot tub (emptied and cleaned before every visit) or inside on the comfortable leather sofas with panoramic floor to ceiling windows, or if you just can't miss the next episode of your favourite soap enjoy it on the large TV whilst listening to the crashing waves from the open window.
For film night or that not to be missed footie match: Decamp downstairs to the cinema room, make yourself comfortable on the large comfortable sofa and immerse yourself in a DVD or switch to Sky Sports and let the stunning 55 inch curved Samsung TV with cinema system sound immerse you in the game. With popcorn in hand and a glass of you favourite tipple it may be even better than being there!
For dog owners: Up to two well behaved dogs are welcome.
Whether you want to walk for miles on the SW coastal path or just let your dog run off some energy on the beach, Number 2 provides the perfect base form which to explore. Please note that the council imposes some restrictions relating to dogs on some of the beaches in Cornwall during the summer months. You can find more information on this at .
