Labour in Vain cottage must be one of the first dwellings in Downalong and was originally an ale house in the town. Massive granite walls, views from most windows and a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere prove the point.

The cottage has been completely refurbished and very sensitively modernised with white painted beams and walls, discreet lighting and thick granite recesses. It has polished wooden floorboards throughout except the kitchen which has quarry tiles. It is approached via a suntrap courtyard looking down Mount Zion, which is traffic free, towards the harbour. Ideal for storage of beach gear etc.
