Location -



The village of Bodinnick hugs the Fowey river and lies in a Conservation Area, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and adjoins National Trust land. The famous and very beautiful Hall Walk, a footpath which winds its way around the estuary to Polruan, starts just a stone’s throw from the property. Bodinnick was once home to the author Daphne Du Maurier and her house Ferryside sits opposite the Old Ferry Inn, which is over 400 years old. A frequent car ferry runs between Bodinnick and Caffa Mill in Fowey all year round providing an easy connection over the river.

There are charming beaches close by at Readymoney, Coombe Hawne (Haven) and Polridmouth, where Du Maurier’s old beach house stands. To the other side of Bodinnick lie lovely beaches at Lantic Bay, Lantivet Bay and in many smaller coves along the coast toward Polperro. Bodinnick is perfectly situated for the beautiful cliff-top walk along the footpath to Polperro and on the other side of the River Fowey there is a lovely walk along the cliffs past Gribbin Head and on to Polkerris.

There are good road links to the motorway system via the A38/A30. Railway links to London, Paddington, can be made locally at Par, and St. Austell and there are flights to London and other destinations from Newquay.
This lovely, Grade II listed cottage dates back to the 16th Century and is positioned just a short walk up Bodinnick Hill from the ferry. This characterful property benefits from well presented accommodation and the garden is located along a pathway to the rear of the cottage, and has stunning, elevated, south facing views of the harbour.
