We understand that even on holiday, practical matters require attention. Fortunately, our location offers excellent access to all necessary services and supplies without sacrificing the peaceful village atmosphere.
For daily essentials, the village shop in Cawsand provides a surprisingly comprehensive range of groceries, household items and basics. Its convenient location means you’re never more than a short stroll from picking up forgotten items or stocking up on morning pastries.
Food enthusiasts will delight in The Stores, our excellent local delicatessen offering speciality items, outstanding cheeses, freshly baked bread and selected local produce. This gem represents the perfect blend of practical convenience and gourmet indulgence—ideal for assembling a picnic or creating a special meal in your well-equipped kitchen.
The Old Bakery, almost directly opposite No. 3, serves as both an excellent breakfast spot and a source of exceptional bread and pastries to enjoy back at the house. Their sourdough enjoys legendary status locally, with the chocolate variation offering an intriguing twist on the traditional loaf.
For larger shopping expeditions, the nearby town of Torpoint (approximately 15 minutes by car) features a good-sized supermarket and pharmacy, whilst the Cawsand Ferry provides easy access to Plymouth’s extensive shopping facilities during its operational season from Easter to late October.
Practical services including cash machines, post office facilities and basic medical supplies can all be found within the village or in nearby Millbrook (a short 5-minute drive), ensuring you’re well-covered for any everyday requirements.
We maintain a comprehensive information folder in the house detailing opening hours, delivery services and emergency contacts, ensuring that practical matters never intrude upon your relaxation during your stay at No. 3.
