With thick stone walls and bags of character, this cosy rural retreat for two is part of a 300-year-old barn conversion set within 17 acres of lakeside woodland and meadow on the banks of the River Fowey.
As you step through the doorway of this charming cottage, kick off your shoes in the porch and enter the fully equipped galley kitchen, complete with everything you need to whip up a storm. Just down the hall, you’ll discover a delightful lounge/diner. The south-facing windows provide plenty of natural light, and if you’re in the mood for a romantic meal, the dining space is the perfect spot for an intimate meal. Off the lounge is a double bedroom offering a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere that will lull you into a deep sleep. And when you awake, the bright and airy shower room is there to refresh and revitalise you. Outside, you’ll be greeted by a seating area with outdoor furniture and a charcoal BBQ, the perfect place to enjoy an alfresco meal while taking in the stunning views.
Take a dawn walk along our very own stretch of the famous Fowey river and our 17 acres of wild meadow and woodland paths or perhaps try and spot the resident kingfishers, then enjoy your morning coffee while you admire the beautiful woodland stretching across the valley. Perhaps take your lunch and stroll down to our beautiful lake, nestle on one of our dedicated seating areas to enjoy the sound of the river and spot the wildlife.
Private fishing rights allow the fisher folk in your party to enjoy our fully licensed stretch of the river Fowey. A true moorland river, the Fowey rises at the highest point in Cornwall near Brown Willy on Bodmin. It flows for 30 miles to the sea at Fowey, passing us here below your stay at Rivermead, and is little influenced by agricultural or industrial activities. Characteristically termed 'gin clear' within the community, it provides a good challenge to the keenest of fly fishers.
