About Creekside Cottages

Family-Run Holiday Letting on the Fal Estuary Since 1956

Creekside Cottages is an independent, family-run holiday letting agency managing a handpicked collection of self-catering cottages on the south coast of Cornwall.

Founded on the shores of Restronguet Creek, the Watson family has been welcoming guests to this corner of the Fal Estuary since 1956, making Creekside Cottages one of the longest-established cottage agencies in Cornwall. Today, the portfolio spans more than 35 individual properties across Restronguet, Flushing, Mylor Bridge, Mylor Yacht Harbour, Devoran, Malpas, and the Enys Estate, all within a few miles of Falmouth.

What Makes Creekside Cottages Different

Every property in the Creekside Cottages collection is personally inspected and handpicked Martin and Peter, who have lived and worked in the Restronguet area their entire lifes. Unlike large agency portals that list thousands of properties across the country, Creekside Cottages manages a deliberately small and curated selection, every cottage is one the team knows intimately and can personally recommend.

The properties range from tidal waterside cottages on the banks of Restronguet Creek (some of which are briefly accessible only by boat at high tide) to village houses in the historic lanes of Flushing and working barn conversions in the Mylor countryside. All are within a short drive or walk of the Carrick Roads, one of the deepest natural harbours in the world.

Our Location

Creekside Cottages are concentrated around the Fal Estuary, a network of tidal creeks, rivers, and wooded valleys flowing south towards Falmouth and the sea. The estuary is home to some of the best sailing in the UK (Falmouth Week, the Falmouth Classics, and the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club regattas all take place here), as well as world-class walking, wild swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding. The area is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

A Note on Booking

All bookings are handled directly by Martin, Peter and the Creekside Cottages team, not through an automated platform. This means every enquiry is answered personally, availability questions are responded to the same day, and guests can ask about specific requirements (accessibility, dog sizes, boat storage, parking) before committing. Martin and Peter live locally and are on hand throughout every stay.

Our experience and knowledge of Cornwall means that we can offer you a truly personal touch
