Set in the riverside village of Bodinnick and just moments from the Fowey Estuary shoreline, this beautiful cottage surrounded by greenery offers a peaceful base for couples exploring Southern Cornwall together. Just over 300 metres away is the charming Bodinnick–Fowey ferry service, offering you easy access to one of Cornwall’s most beautiful port towns. Here, you can easily spend a day wandering the waterside streets busy with art galleries, local producers, seafood eateries and traditional pubs. Keen walkers will love having the scenic South West Coast Path nearby, which leads to local gems including the National Trust’s Lantic Bay, sheltered Lansallos Beach, and the far-reaching views of Neadland Point (all within 6 miles). Enjoy beautiful views of Fowey harbour and estuary on the circular Fowey Hall Walk or hire a boat for the day to enjoy the water. Other popular Cornish destinations within reach and perfect for day trips include The Eden Project, the harbour village of Polperro, the coastal town of Looe, historic Charlestown, and bustling St Austell (all within 16 miles). Before stepping into this whitewashed cottage, take a moment to appreciate its peaceful position, totally surrounded by greenery – setting the scene for a tranquil Cornish stay. Head inside, kick off your muddy boots, and walk through to the bright and breezy kitchen. Drenched in natural light, this well-appointed space boasts everything needed for cooking up coastal feasts – make sure to pick fresh herbs from the garden! Enjoy the chef’s work in the light and airy conservatory, which doubles as a dining space and offers delightful garden views. Unwind after each meal; move over to the soft seating in the conservatory or gather in the pretty lounge to sink into the sofa as the Smart TV streams and the wood burner crackles. If it’s a digital switch-off you’re seeking, you’ll enjoy the choice of books from the well-stocked bookcase. Completing the home’s interior is an elegant double bedroom with more garden views and a stylish bathroom with a shower over the bath. Outside, the large private garden is a real gem, particularly for nature enthusiasts. This verdant space is regularly visited by owls, nesting tits, bats, and even the occasional deer – binoculars are provided so you can make the most of this lovely spot. Outdoor furniture sets the scene for evening tipples and al fresco meals, while a reserved parking space to the front of the property makes arrivals and day trips a breeze.
