Property details

Rene`s Cottage is a thatched traditional fisherman`s cottage at the entrance to Cadgwith Cove. Henry Jane was one of those very fishermen and also coxswain of the Cadgwith lifeboat. He lived there many years with his wife Irene (Rene). You can relax in front of the glowing woodburner as the winter storms lash the cove and imagine the coxswain hearing the maroons from many of the wrecks that hit the rocks close by. You can also wake up here on a sunny morning and just listen to the seagulls and the waves outside – this is a carefully modernised iconic property close to the pub, restaurant, craft shops and beach from which the local fishing boats depart for sea. No holiday would be complete without sampling a freshly caught lobster or crab. This is a wonderful place to stay!

Robert Walpole, Dorset We had a great holiday at Rene's Cottage, made even better by the fantastic weather we had. We particularly liked the history of the cottage, the location of the property and the friendliness of the locals and holidaymakers in the nearby cottages. If the holiday was scored marks out of ten, my wife and I would have scored it ten out of ten. We wouldn't change anything - it's perfect as it is.

Scott Taylor, Birmingham Rene's is a lovely, traditional Cornish cottage that was clean and well presented, in a divine location. The parking is a bit awkward, but difficult to change. We could also have done with a bit of padding on the bathroom beams!
