Fowey 4.4 miles. Oakenhurst is a traditional oak-framed boat house, nestled on the banks of the River Fowey in Cornwall, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Enjoying breath-taking riverside views and steeped in history from the 19th century, with exposed stone walls, lofty beamed ceilings, and a charming exterior, Oakenhurst welcomes two guests, offering the ideal base for a romantic retreat in the quaint village of Golant. Park up nearby before making your way to the boat house and ascending the oak steps, to reach the light-flooded open-plan living space, offering elevated views of River Fowey which ebbs and flows with the tide; prepare meals in the well-equipped kitchen and dine as a two, or relax in this space enveloped by beamed ceilings, traditional furniture whilst enjoying panoramic river views. When sleep calls, head upstairs to the mezzanine, also known as ‘the ropeloft’, to a plush 6ft zip/link bed which can be configured as two singles or one luxurious super-king-size double. There is a handy en-suite bathroom, the sky lights in the ropeloft have blinds; there is also a sail at the front of the mezzanine which can be used as a curtain. The property also has a shower room downstairs, ideal for using after a day of hiking, boating, or exploring the coast. If you can tear yourself away from this stunning abode, a short walk away you can hire kayaks to explore the river, or dine out at the Fishermans Arms, a popular, and friendly pub. To stock up on the essentials and for further eating out options head into Tywardreath or Par, before spending a day in the picturesque sailing destination of Fowey, with its shops, museum, eateries and the secluded sands of Readymoney Cove. A short drive away, head to the Eden Project to tour its botanical garden, stroll around Pinetum Gardens, or visit the delightful port of Charlestown, rich in heritage. Complete your getaway by hiking across Polperro Heritage Coast, towards the fishing village, before reaching Polperro Harbour for the best vantage point, or Polperro Beach, enveloped by picture-perfect turquoise waters.
