Just a 10 minute drive from the stunning South West Coast Path and the secluded beaches at Lantivet Bay and Lansallos Cove.
This picturesque, very traditional, detached house is set in an unspoilt little creekside hamlet on a tributary of the Fowey river.
The original Mill House for the unrestored mill on the edge of the stream it is set into sloping ground and entered from the parking area by an uneven granite and cobbled path that crosses the unused mill leat at one point. There is a little bridge crossing over Penpoll Creek where it is possible to launch canoes and small dinghies at high tide, 25 yards away.
Bodinnick, 2 miles, has a quaint old pub and a car ferry operating to the bustling town of Fowey. There are circular country walks from the doorstep and excellent walks upriver to Lerryn and St Winnow as well as the spectacular coastal Fowey Hall Walk.
The picturesque harbour at Polperro is 6 miles by road where there are a selection of shops, pubs and restaurants, and the larger resort of Looe, 10 miles away, has a wider choice of amenities and a sandy beach. The Eden Project and Lanhydrock House are within a 30 minute drive.
Outside
A grassy garden, with useful outside W.C., surrounds the house, edged by the river along one side and not a place for unsupervised toddlers or young children but a delight for older ones. Garden furniture provided.
The local area
Fowey (pronounced “Foy”) is an inviting waterside town steeped in history. It stretches for a mile or so along the banks of the River Fowey and is a magnet for sailing enthusiasts. This vibrant place is a real joy to explore; whether you want to shop, sail, go to the beach, walk the South West Coast Path or simply watch the world go by whilst enjoying a pint.
Literary fanatics will be familiar with Fowey as it is synonymous with Daphne du Maurier. The author (famous for novels including Rebecca and Jamaica Inn) moved to the town with her family aged 20 and soon began writing short stories. A few years later, her first novel was published and she continued as a successful writer inspired by Fowey and the surrounding Cornish landscape.
Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Fowey enjoys fantastic views across the water to Polruan. It also has a sheltered, family friendly beach at Readymoney Cove from which you can walk to St Catherine’s Castle, which is the remains of a small fort built during Henry VIII’s reign to defend the harbour entrance.
There’s never a shortage of things to see and do in the town, with annual events such as the Fowey Festival of Arts and Literature in early May, and the Regatta in late August, both being colourful and lively events worth adding to your calendar.
A holiday cottage in Fowey really is a fantastic base for an escape to Cornwall, with plenty to see and do, plus a great choice of places to eat. And if you fancy venturing out of the town, why not take the ferry across the river to Bodinnick and drive on to the idyllic fishing village of Polperro, or the family and dog-friendly beaches at Talland Bay.
