Just a 15-minute drive east to the picturesque harbours of Polperro and Looe and only 3 miles west to Fowey via the Bodinnick Ferry, this sensitively converted, former 17th Century granary loft stands in a peaceful rural setting.
With breathtaking views down over the fields to the sea from Pencarrow Head to Lantivet Bay, Carneggan Barn is only a short distance from the South West Coast Path and the secluded beaches of Lansallos and Lantic Bay.
The nearest pubs are at the villages of Polruan and Bodinnick each 2.5 miles and there is a village store and post office at Pelynt, 4 miles to the east. Pleasure trips on the water are available at Looe, Polperro and Fowey as well as a good selection of shops and a wealth of local foodie delights to sample and enjoy.
There is a large fenced and gated grassy area at the front of the property ideal for children to let off steam; pets need to be kept under control in this farming region. Patio furniture provided.
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.
