The property

Tywardreath 2.6 miles.

The Boathouse is a fully converted 18th-century stone building situated in Golant, Cornwall, on the west bank of the River Fowey tidal estuary.

Set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), it offers a warm welcome to one of Cornwall's most picturesque spots.

This is an ideal property for a family of four or a couple looking for a comfortable summer or winter break in a beautiful and tranquil part of Cornwall.

With magnificent views across the estuary, the best advantage of the views is achieved from the sitting room/diner and the kitchen on the first floor, or in the bedrooms on the ground floor.

The fully equipped kitchen includes an electric oven and hob, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine, and fridge/freezer.

The tastefully furnished property has all modern conveniences including gas central heating, a woodburning stove and WiFi.

The downstairs bathroom has a WC, hand basin, a full-size bath and a walk-in shower.

There are two ground floor bedrooms: a double, and two singles.

There is off-road parking for one car.

The Boathouse is a no-pets, no-smoking property.

Discover the nearby attractions: Golant’s local pub is the family-run Fishermans Arms which is popular with both locals and visitors throughout the year.

The Fowey River tidal estuary has moored local boats.

At low tide sand banks are revealed which are safe and popular with children who play there in the summer months.

Crabbing from the small stone quay is also popular with children and their parents.

On Golant’s village green there’s a designated play area for children.

Kyaking and small boat hire is also popular, with Fowey just 2 miles downstream to the open sea.

There are many great coastal walks, too, and good sandy beaches such as Par Sands, Polkerris, and Lantic Bay.

For a longer day out, many visitors enjoy taking the ferry from Fowey to Mevagissy, or to Polruan.

To stock up on your provisions, there are supermarkets some 6-7 miles from Golant near St Austell – Tesco, Asda, Lidl, Aldi, etc.

Fowey also has shops selling local produce.

Peaceful adventures and scenic strolls wait at your doorstep when you book a stay at The Boat House.

There is also a small car park in walking distance (approx. 1 minute to walk) down the road towards the river. A parking permit is left in the property.

About the location

TYWARDREATH

Fowey 3.3 miles; St Austell 6.3 miles.

The pretty, historic Cornish village of Tywardreath, meaning ‘The House on the Strand’, lies in the heart of Daphne du Maurier country and features in her book of the same name. St Andrew’s, the village church, is said to have the best peal of bells in the area, while the village has a lively community, centred round its excellent pubs and range of shops. There are several safe, sandy beaches close to the village, with a variety of watersports and leisure activities available. Par, a small, china clay port with a dog friendly sandy beach is a fifteen minute walk from the village or 5 minutes in the car, home to a main line railway station. Polkerris Beach, a 30 minute walk or a 5 minute drive away, has a beachside restaurant, pub and watersports centre. The attractive waterside village of Fowey is just three miles away, from where there are some dramatic cliff walks to Gribbin Head, passing through much of du Maurier’s familiar landscape. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Tywardreath is a village that will appeal to families and those keen to explore the rich heritage and gorgeous coastline of South Cornwall.

There is also a small car park in walking distance (approx. 1 minute to walk) down the road towards the river. A parking permit is left in the property.
