We hired a car and drove to the little fishing/beach town where we were staying called Kingsand. The towns we drove through were so quaint and small that literally only one car at a time could pass. Our talented drivers had to manoeuvre through windy roads with high hedges. At times it seemed like we were driving through a maze.
Never ever have I seen so many different shades of green. Mile after mile we drove past rolling green meadows. Every part of Cornwall that we saw was picturesque.
We arrived at our three storey holiday house named Lyndale Cottage. None of the cottages had house numbers. Instead, they had cute names like Hidden Garden Cottage and Old School House. The cottage was AMAZING and is actually owned by a director of Shell who lives in Australia and owns about five other houses. The cottage had steep tiny little staircases that felt like climbing up a ladder. We also had a little deck which we could get to by climbing out of a window/door.
The towns of Kingsand and Cawsand had a total of 5 pubs (but only 1000 residents!!!!!). On the first night we went to the towns gastropub named The Devenport We had the most incredible meal - fresh muscles, oysters and fish in lobster sauce. We even saw the chefs carry in the fresh seafood straight off the boats in buckets. It was a sensational meal and some of the best oysters we have tasted.
Our first afternoon and night in Kingsand was so relaxing. It was great to be down near the beach and having a drink by the sea air. Each of the locals owned a family of dogs and we spent a lot of time oogling over cute puppies (we are deprived here in cement land London).
Here are some photos of the cottage and Kingsand. Up next, our adventures through Cornwall.
