A stunning riverside property only 1.5 miles from Fowey, one of the many picturesque villages dotted along the South West Coast Path. Boasting private pontoon access to the River Fowey, the family-friendly property features spacious living areas, a patio terrace and easy access to a host South Cornwall’s cultural, historical and natural attractions.

This two-storey gem is hidden off a quiet country lane amongst undulating countryside separated by the River Fowey, an area surrounded by fishing villages and walking trails. Its colourful exterior is beautifully complemented by its bright and traditionally furnished interior, and this is evident the moment you step into the grand entrance hall. The impressive lounge, complete with comfortable sofas, wood burner and river views, sits off to the right, while the spacious kitchen/diner is a social space featuring an original fireplace at the side and French doors at one end. Upstairs, a well-appointed bathroom is only a few steps away from two delightful twin bedrooms and two en-suite king-size bedrooms with river views. These views can be further enjoyed from the comfortable seating on the private patio terrace during morning coffees, alfresco lunches or nightcaps. The property enjoys private access to a pontoon, ideal for boating and water sports on the River Fowey.

The property is the ideal base for keen walkers who can explore the South West Coast Path at Fowey (1.5 miles), a charming port town laden with pubs and family-friendly eateries. The streets of Polruan are worth a wander, while Lostwithiel is blessed with an impressive array of shops (both within 9 miles). No trip to this part of the south west would be complete without popping into Looe or Polperro - both are bustling coastal settlements that offer a traditional Cornish welcome (within 11 miles).

We had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend this house. The location is absolutely beautiful, with stunning views and a lovely, spacious patio at the front where we spent lots of time relaxing. The private pontoon was a real highlight. We hired a small boat from a local company, who conveniently delivered and collected it for us, and it cRead moreompletely transformed the holiday. Being able to hop across to Fowey by boat was not only great fun but also saved a lot of time compared to driving. If youre staying here, Id definitely recommend hiring a boat if you can. The cottage itself was spacious, comfortable and well-equipped for our family, and it made my 40th birthday celebration extra special. Honestly, its difficult to fault the property. The only thing that could have been improved was the weather but unfortunately the owners cant do much about that! Thank you for a wonderful stay. We made some very special family memories here.

Lovely cottage in a lovely part of the country. Well equipped and very spacious and clean. Would just mention about track to property being very narrow and bumpy though. Also did take awhile to get to places because of location but once there well worth the trip. Ferry to Fowey was an enjoyable experience aswell.
