  • Self-contained wing of period residence, sleeping 3+1 with water views from many rooms

Property code: 73076

Relax by the river and enjoy the ever-changing views from this self-contained wing of a delightful Georgian residence. With a terrace and French doors leading to the patio and garden furniture, this property makes the most of its riverside location allowing for al fresco dining morning, noon and night, watching the boats bob up and down. Sweeping views coupled with light and spacious interiors makes for a relaxing retreat from the bustle of everyday life.

Open the French doors and let the outside flood into the stylish open-plan living space. It's bright and airy during the day, but once the wood burner is lit it becomes cosy and welcoming – the perfect spot after an eventful day. Calming tones of the palest peach and blue compliment the stunning original features and allows the light to move through the property with ease. The purpose fitted furnishings create a friendly and homely atmosphere, designed for relaxation. Picture-postcard views from the bedroom window means waking up from a restful night's sleep is a pleasure, and an early morning coffee on the terrace makes for the perfect holiday morning.

With direct access onto a public footpath, and with the South West Coast Path and all its beaches, coves and mesmerising views nearby, walkers will be spoilt for choice. For a challenging stroll, visit St Catherine's Castle (3.5 miles) perched above the sea, then head to the lovely, secluded Readymoney Cove below. Further afield, enjoy trips to the seaside harbour towns of Charlestown (15 miles) and Mevagissey (22.5 miles), and the 18th-Century Antony House, set within a magnificent landscape garden (24.5 miles).

The cottage is very well furnished and very comfortable. Access to the river and the use of the pontoon is a major advantage as is the car parking arrangements. Staff at Holiday Cottages were extremely helpful. Our stay was very enjoyable and we look forward to returning.

The property had fabulous views of the river Fowey as it overlooks moorings for yachts and power boats. It was amazingly quiet and peacefully.

Lovely view of the river and boats from the bedroom and terrace. Good for watching the world go by. Very peaceful location, worth the very narrow and steep lane to the house.

Great cottage in a great location. The Terrace is wonderful for boats and people watching the kitchen has everything you need in the master bedroom has the view that everybody will argue over. We hired a boat and we didnt use the car once.

Lovely little cottage, ideal for a couple..peaceful and fabulous view from bedroom. We enjoyed eating and having drinks on the patio. There is a China clay factory to the right of the property, but certainly does detract from the view of the inlet and moored boats. The cottage had a lovely little welcome pack and a good supply of crockery & pots & Read morepans. If you don't like driving down narrow lanes its possibly not the place for you, that aside its not too busy. All in all a lovely little place Hide
