All with stunning creek views.

Jetty and mooring

Private jetty for the sole use of Morning Star and the adjacent cottage Crock Na Godna (under the same ownership).

Mooring for the sole use of Morning Star (may dry out at low water, suitable for a boat up to 20ft).

Parking and Access

A huge part of the charm and tranquility of Morning Star is due to its unique location. Cars can be unloaded 50m from the cottage. Guests unload, take their belongings to the cottage, and then take their car back and park on the road above Weir Beach (a 5-minute picturesque walk).

Vehicle access across the beach to the unloading location is tidal. Typically, vehicle access is possible except for 1 hour either side of high water. At neap tides, there is vehicle access at all stages of the tide. At spring tides vehicle access is prevented about 2 hours either side of high water. Please check the tide times here so you can plan your arrival time.

Please note that due to the ‘off the beaten path’ location of the cottage and the many steps around the garden and jetty, we do not deem Morning Star suitable for those with mobility issues or visual impairment.

Young children are very welcome and must be supervised. Access to the jetty is via a padlocked gate, however the cottage is still waterside and with that come some residual risks, as well as some steep areas of garden.

Please note that Crock Na Godna guests (next door to Morning Star and under the same ownership) have shared access to the jetty via the steps and path, down the side of Morning Star’s front garden.

Mooring / boats / kayaks / paddleboards

The cottage has a mooring (may dry out at low tide). Hire a boat/tender/kayak/paddleboard for the duration (or part) of your holiday from Mylor Boat Hire who will deliver to the cottage. No experience is necessary, and they will do a full handover with you and provide support during your stay.

Mylor marina and yacht haven is a 10 minute drive and is a major boating centre that is home to hire facilities, water sport training and courses, as well as yoga/wellbeing, a great café and Castaways Restaurant.
