About this property

Idyllic cottage with log fires and private riverside terrace on Fowey Estuary

The Boathouse is an idyllic cottage on the spectacular Fowey River Estuary, just two miles from Fowey and a step away from the water’s edge. A converted boathouse and lime kiln, the cottage is one of the oldest buildings in the picturesque village of Golant.

Comfortable and welcoming with magnificent views across the river, there is a log fire for cosy winter holidays and a private terrace ideal for spring and summer barbecues.
The accommodation is reversed so that the living area has the benefit of the wonderful views over the river. In this light and airy room, white walls and prints complement a mixture of antiques and quality furnishings, with the dining area looking out over the inner harbour.


Driving instructions: Driving along the A380 towards St Austell, take the B3269 left, which is signposted to Fowey (it also has a signpost to the Hidden Valley Gardens).

Continue along the B3269, after about 3 miles you'll come to some pale-green/white farm buildings followed shortly by a staggered crossroad, take the left turning signposted to Golant.

Keep following this road towards the river, at the waterfront it turns to the right, continue past the no through-fare sign, The Boathouse is less than a hundred yards on the right.

Lovely, peaceful property
We had a lovely time staying at the property. The views over the Fowey are mesmerising and Golant is a beautiful village. The only slightly negative was the parking situation at times given the canoe business and rowing club (it was too tight to get our car in the drive so we had to park on the road).

Wonderful spot
The Boat House is a lovely spot overlooking the Fowey River, perfect for a relaxed time in Cornwall with the option of accessing activities on the river. Judith was a pleasure to deal with & was more than understanding when we had to delay our departure due to a holiday bug we caught. Couldn't recommend highly enough. Many many thanks! Katie & family
