Step inside this delightful property via the external staircase and you will then find that all of the accommodation is handily arranged on one level. The largest area comprises of a beautifully light and airy lounge/kitchen/diner. Here snuggle up on the cosy sofa and watch your favourite film on the TV after a day exploring, or enjoy a relaxed meal without having to venture out and the compact yet perfectly appointed kitchen boasts an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge. The delightful bedrooms are located back towards the main entrance and firstly consist of a spacious double bedroom with water views and opposite this a cosy  single bedroom with an additional single pull out bed (which can be used to accommodate an additional guest). The final room inside the property is a bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

The property benefits from access to a beautifully presented shared garden with a choice of patio area, and this provides a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. Private off-road parking for two cars is provided.

Lovely cottage, very peaceful. Very good view from some windows. Well equipped, nice and clean. Need to be aware of petrol stations and shops are the other side of the estuary which you can cross as a foot passenger or car ferry. Lovely area.

Super and warm little loft conversion with everything you need already thought of. The view of over the creek was very special. We are quite short, but it's not a place for very tall people or the less agile (as clearly mentioned, there are two flights of external metal steps to climb to reach the cottage).

Smugglers Loft is a great little hideaway. To stay here you need to be fit and healthy, to love life on the water, and not to mind the adventure of narrow, windy access roads. Stock up with groceries on the journey, bring a kayak or hire a boat and leave the car in the safe, ample car park all week. A slice of heaven.

Smugglers Loft is an idyllic spot overlooking Mixtow Creek. Its very peaceful. The track down to Kits House is one-way and very narrow! The loft is accessed from the rear of Kits House and there are at least 25 steps to climb. As the accommodations are on the east side of Fowey River, you can expect to use the Fowey ferry quite frequently. The costRead more is 10 return.

Had a great stay in Smugglers Loft, more spacious than I expected, lovely garden with seating and bbq area (need to bring your own bbq). Hired a boat to get around the river (to Fowey, Polruan and a trip to Golant - watch the tides to visit the latter). Found the bed comfortable, and lounge spacious enough for 2 of us.
