Summary: Probably the most comprehensively equipped holiday Lett we have ever stayed in, even down to a "Fish Poacher" The location is stunning but beware if you have a large vehicle parking is extremely tight. Watchtower is spacious & would easily sleep 6/7, equipped with two separate bathrooms with showers & the on-suite with a bath. The shower head in the on-suite most defiantly requires replacing it's black with a mould like covering. Watchtower forms part of a block of fisherman's cottages reputedly built in the early 1800's & you should bear this is mind if you intend to stay here its not a modern building. It is only fair to mention that we felt the property is in need of a good spring clean, cobwebs could be found in most rooms & the furniture has most definitely seen better days i.e.; bedside tables draws are very difficult to shut, both of the side boards are well past the there usable life, some of the internal doors are almost to impossible to shut. However, the Watchtower is extremely comfortable & there are numerous heaters if it gets cold. The property has both a washing machine, tumble dryer & an ironing board. We did contact the housekeeper on the Wednesday of our stay to ask about the iron which she advised had broken the previous week, she asked us to leave the key the next day & she would replace it, for whatever reason the never happened. There is no longer a shop in Downderry so be advised the nearest Supermarket is either Liskard or Plymouth.

Summary: Great location and a cottage so close to the beach that you can see, hear and smell the sea 24/7. Equipped for a group of 6 people who like to cook and eat. Only minus: both showers are really tiny, so it‘s hard to even turn around.

Summary: We had a lovely brief stay at the watchtower in Downderry. The location is excellent looking straight out to sea and we loved the quirkiness and charm of the cottage. The parking is certainly tight but thats Cornwall for you and adds to the character of the place...

Summary: On arriving all of us (Grannie, 2 adult children and 2 grandchildren) were captivated by the views, the character of Watchtower Cottage and later by how well it is equipt. We loved the clearness of the sea, enjoying swimming and paddle boarding! The rock pools and variety of seaweeds had us gasping in amazement at the diversity to be found on this stretch of coast. Walks to Seaton, and then on along the coastal path, trips to Anthony House, the bird sanctuary, kayaking and paddle boarding at Cawsand, as well as viewing the Plymouth national firework competition from Cremyll and a nostalgic trip to Polzeath kept us busy all week! A cottage and environs that gave our family a perfect holiday.
