Whim Cottage
Situated in an enviable and unspoilt Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (now known as National Landscapes) between Mylor Bridge and Restronguet Creek, this stunning Grade II Listed barn conversion has been thoughtfully renovated by its owners into a purpose designed, family holiday home. Easily accessible from the A39 yet secluded, quiet and private. There are two enchanting creeks to explore on your doorstep, discover trails to secret wild swimming hot spots and delectable local eateries.
You will be at ease as soon as you arrive at semi-detached Whim Cottage, from the generous off-road parking to the spacious and comfortable interiors. The thick stone walls marry together beautifully with modern rendering, so much history has been retained throughout and the little touches within are so special. The ground floor boasts an exceptional example of open plan living, a glorious social space for family time, including a ground floor bedroom complete with its own en suite.
The splendid kitchen is beautifully appointed with a range cooker, oodles of cooking equipment complete with breakfast-bar and dining-table.
Snuggle up on the comfy sofas in front of the flickering flames of the log-burner in the cooler months - challenge your family and friends to some classic games after a fun day exploring the footpaths and creeks that surround Whim Cottage. In the warmer months, gather round the large al fresco table on the innovative patio area whilst the children run free in the sizable, enclosed garden with a maintained lawn.
Keep your eye out for tractors passing by as your neighbouring property is a family-run farm. The farm is home to two other delightful little cottages, Chybean (5116) and Chyvounder (5117). Subject to availability, the three properties can be booked together for larger family celebrations.
Upstairs, you will find two beautiful bedrooms, one with an en suite and also a family bathroom. The bedrooms are spacious and characterful, with exquisite shutter windows throughout.

Customer reviews
Good or bad, we publish all the reviews left by the guests who have stayed at this property.
Mr Peters
Had a very enjoyable stay at Whim Cottage. The cottage has been beautifully converted by the owners and provides everything you need for your holiday. Good walks direct from the cottage take you into the village of Mylor or down to Weir beach, Restronguet Creek and the Pandora Inn, which has lovely views up the creek. A good base to explore the south coast of Cornwall.
Mrs Lovell
Our 4th stay at Whim Cottage, and we love it just as much as our first time. Great for comfort and space, dog friendly garden and walks, peace and quiet, farm location and cleanliness. Bike/board storage is also very useful. It's a good 20 min walk get to to the pubs or shop, so we always get fitter! Looking forward to returning soon.
Mr Turner
Lovely cottage with all you need in a lovely scenic area. Enjoyed going for walks and driving to nearby Falmouth. Would recommend it to everyone I know.
Mrs Boot
The Maritime Railway is a great holiday asset, and makes a trip to Falmouth very attractive. The fish shop in Mylor is good, and of course the Pandora Inn with great food and surroundings is a must. I could go on….
Mrs McCormick
We have stayed at this cottage a number of times. The location is ideal, so close to the river yet only a short drive from the shops. Two very good pubs within a mile. The cottage itself has a lovely open living space. The bedrooms are very spacious and well decorated. I can’t wait to go back again.
Mr Hill-Venning
Good location for easy walking to an excellent general store and pub. Sunny enclosed garden. Downstairs small for the number of bedrooms but OK for 2.
