Stepaside is an open beam cottage dating back to 1620 which was probably built for use by one of the many local fishermen of that time. The cottage is very well equipped and being located right beside Fowey Estuary has extensive views of the harbour and the woodlands between Polruan and Bodinnick. The shops and quays in Fowey are only a few minutes walk from the cottage.

The accommodation is arranged on three floors. Entering from a small courtyard at street level there is a spacious dining room with extensive views of the harbour and a fully equipped kitchen with an electric cooker, fridge and microwave, a utility room with automatic washing machine and a small freezer and cloakroom. Upstairs there are three bedrooms (one with a double bed, one with twin beds and the other with a single bed) and a bathroom. The bathroom has a bath with shower over, washbasin and toilet. On the garden level there is a sitting room with a glazed door leading to the garden. The garden is largely paved and terminates at the water’s edge, with steps down to the foreshore.

The cottage is provided with night storage heaters. The cost of these is included in the price from 1st October until the end of May. The other electricity is obtained via a £1 meter. A television, DVD, bed linen and a payphone for outgoing calls are provided.  There is a car and dinghy park some four hundred yards from the cottage. The cottage is not recommended for children under eight due to the water frontage.  Disabled visitors may also find it inconvenient as it is on three levels.  

No mooring is available with this cottage but a dinghy with a mooring can normally be obtained from a local boatyard.
