I am a professional accountant and also a Business and Management graduate, running my own teaching business online and have a daughter who is a computer games designer.
We have a quiet, 3 bedroom house in the sought after seaside town of Fowey, Cornwall.
We have a large kitchen, shower room , a cosy lounge and large garden with dynamic views of the hills and valleys.
We live in a crime free area where people are very friendly and hospitable. This is a semi-rural retreat where you can really relax and unwind from the stresses of city life.
I am qualified in natural therapies and treatments are available.
There is a local post office and grocery shop 5 minutes walk from the house. A light breakfast is included in the price. Lunch can be provided at £ 3 per day and the same price for dinner. A washing machine is available and will cost
£ 2 per load.
We are a 14 minute walk away the harbour and 16 minutes to 2 small beaches. There are lots of activities available such as harbour cruises, kayak/boat hire, sightseeing tours, many beautiful gift shops, restaurants and tea shops.
