A public slipway is within a short walk of the cottage, local facilities are available in Carnon Downs (about one and a half miles) whilst the Cathedral city of Truro provides an excellent shopping centre and includes a main line railway station to London (Paddington) and a good selection of restaurants and bars. The Hall for Cornwall provides year round entertainment and there are golf courses at nearby Truro and Falmouth. The historic port of Falmouth is about eight miles away. Point is also at one end of the Bissoe cycle trail which runs along the creek to Devoran through Bissoe and eventually leads to the north Cornish coast at Portreath.
