Dating back to 1583 this traditional riverside cottage has been sympathetically updated to make a fantastic retreat in an idyllic part of South Cornwall. Perfect for couples seeking a tranquil holiday home in the picturesque village of Bodinnick, the property has an abundance of character, with an ancient arched front door, thick stone walls, exposed timber beams and a welcoming wood burner. Providing quiet, relaxing accommodation for two, this delightful hideaway is a wonderful destination for a romantic break, with magnificent views of the River Fowey as it flows towards the sea.
A few external steps lead up to the entrance and into the cosy lounge/diner. With a Smart TV, comfortable sofa, a wood burner and beamed ceiling, this is an ideal space to snuggle up and relax at the end of a memorable day. The dining table is over by the window, perfect for enjoying a romantic meal which you can prepare in the stylishly arranged galley kitchen, accessed via a couple of steps up. Heading upstairs, the first floor has a sweet, fresh and tastefully furnished bedroom with a lovely super-king-size bed. The property also has a refreshing ground-floor shower room and a handy first-floor WC. Stepping outside, there’s a small seating area to the front of the cottage, providing a cheery space for a morning coffee. To the rear, uneven granite steps lead up to a garden offering fabulous views along the river.
The waterside village of Bodinnick marks the start of the famous Hall Walk to Polruan (3 miles), with woodlands, streams, narrow lanes and stunning views. From Bodinnick or Polruan a ferry will take you to the bustling coastal town of Fowey which has a beautiful working harbour, a fantastic range of pubs and restaurants, and a charming beach down at Readymoney Cove (1.5 miles).
