The Location - The riverside village of Bodinnick is adjacent to Fowey and has a public slipway, lovely public house and located just a short distance from the marina at Penmarlam (1 mile). Connected by a regular vehicular and pedestrian ferry which provides easy access to Fowey, this charming village has much to offer, including the riverside home of author Daphne Du Maurier and access to the famous Hall Walk - a beautiful creekside walk to Polruan.

Across the river, Fowey is regarded as one of the most attractive waterside communities in the county. Particularly well known as a popular sailing centre, the town has two thriving sailing clubs, a famous annual Regatta and excellent facilities for the keen yachtsman. For a small town Fowey provides a good range of shops and businesses catering for most day to day needs. The immediate area is surrounded by many miles of delightful coast and countryside much of which is in the ownership of the National Trust. Award winning restaurants, small boutique hotels, excellent public houses etc, have helped to establish the Fowey Estuary as a popular, high quality, destination.

Newquay Airport is only 34 miles away and the mainline London Paddington railway can be accessed at Lostwithiel (8 miles away).

From the slate terrace at the front of the cottage, an ideal spot for a sunny breakfast, to the elevated garden with lovely views located just a stones throw away - this property is gorgeous and beautifully decorated with calming pastel shades to compliment the relaxing ambience.

From the moment you walk in through the traditional front door, complete with leaded glass window, the property oozes character from the slate flagged floor and whitewashed walls, to the Inglenook fireplace, complete with wood burner for those chillier evenings. Currently a successful holiday let with Boutique Retreats, ( the property offers a generous income, or could be used as a beautiful home.
