Part of a 300-year-old barn this wonderful cosy, single-storey cottage offers a home-from-home feel making a wonderful Cornish retreat for families and friends. Set in seventeen acres of magical woodland and meadow to explore, and well-situated near the A30, there are a host of beaches nearby including Looe (10 miles) as well as Fowey (14 miles) with its fantastic shops, great cafes and quirky gift shops. Guests can wander through 17 acres of picturesque woodland and meadow or enjoy fishing along the River Fowey, known for its excellent salmon and trout. Its proximity to the A30 and A38 makes it easy to visit tourist spots including Looe (10 miles) and Fowey (14 miles). There’s something here for everyone within 10 miles of home - whether you’re marvelling at the exotic flora and fauna of the Eden Project, or visiting the National Trust’s impressive late Victorian country house at Lanhydrock, 5 miles away, to explore the house, gardens and parkland.
Private fishing rights allow the fisher folk in your party to enjoy our fully licensed stretch of the river Fowey. A true moorland river, the Fowey rises at the highest point in Cornwall near Brown Willy on Bodmin. It flows for 30 miles to the sea at Fowey, passing us here below your stay at Rivermead, and is little influenced by agricultural or industrial activities. Characteristically termed 'gin clear' within the community, it provides a good challenge to the keenest of fly fishers.
Just inside the door is a small entrance hallway with space to store hats and coats and kick off your walking boots. Entering into the cottage and straight ahead is the fully equipped kitchen providing all you need to cook up a hearty breakfast or pack up a good lunch for the day ahead. Next door is the very pretty lounge/diner complete with comfy seating, a TV with Freeview and DVD, as well as dining space for four - the perfect spot for morning coffee or snuggling down together to watch all your favourite programmes. Through the kitchen and along a hallway are the two south-facing bedrooms; a good size double with plenty of storage space for your belongings, and a lovely twin room. Completing this cottage is the light and bright shower room with WC.
Outside there's seating area with outdoor furniture and charcoal BBQ to sit and dine alfresco, along with access to the seventeen acres of stunning woodland and meadows to explore.
