The nearest village of any size is Portscatho and Gerrans, these include an excellent local shop, cafes and restaurants including The Boathouse, two public houses and even a doctors surgery. The Hidden Hut and a Michelin star restaurant at The Driftwood is in nearby Rosevine. The well known village of St. Mawes is approximately seven miles away and this has an all year round passenger ferry to Falmouth with Truro and St. Austell being each about sixteen miles away.
