The Boat House is situated on the banks of one of the
most beautiful tidal estuaries in Cornwall.
The Fowey River runs from its source high on Bodmin Moor near
the world famous Jamaica Inn down through the leafy woods of the
Glynn Valley.
It passes Lanhydrock House, one of the most visited National
Trust properties in the country. Gathering in size it passes
right through the ancient stannery town of Lostwithiel heading
on to the river mouth at Fowey
The true spirit of the county can be experienced throughout this
area of Cornwall with a wide range of landscapes from the
bracken covered moors to the stunning cliffs linked by hidden
woodlands, each with its own wildlife.
Well publicised walks encourage the visitor to explore areas
with all levels of ability catered for.
Bird watching, horse riding, fishing and golf are available
within 3 miles of the cottage.
We are surrounded by a selection of beaches.
Despite all these distractions many people come to the Boat
House and find that all they want to do is watch the tide come
in and out.
