The Boathouse

A beautiful property, comfortable & equipped to a very high standard. We were blessed with lovely weather so was able to enjoy the outside balcony our only suggestion would be to have some cushions/ seat pads as the metal patio set was chilly to sit on. We can't fault the inside of the property at all but the noise from the road was more than we expected & did impact the tranquility of our surroundings. Thank you for the scones & jam they were delicious & very much appreciated ...

An absolute stunner of a property. Everything about The Boathouse is top notch, from the setting to the furnishings and kitchen facilities. A very comfortable bed, high powered showers added to the feeling of luxury. We will definitely return in the future....

Beautiful location and comfortable, well equipped accommodation, I would highly recommend. The housekeeper, Jade, offers a meal service which is delicious. We ordered fish pie with vegetables for arrival it was so good we ordered a lasagne and salad for later in the week, equally delicious....

We have just returned from a weeks stay (end of November 2024) at The Boathouse, which is absolutely beautiful and we had an amazing time and definitely did not want to leave. We already live in Cornwall near the sea, as short drive away…. but, it was so lovely to have a change of scenery. It was fabulous to be able to sit and watch the river/creek and the resident Swans, Ducks and Birds. We would suggest, that you take a pair of binoculars to get a closer look, as there is not a pair in situ. The Boathouse has been tastefully developed with the Owners/Trades people, having a “keen eye and attention to detail”. All appliances are top notch and the furnishings and beds are of excellent quality. The rain shower was powerful, just what you need with plenty of hot water. The Classic Cottages Team gave a courtesy call mid week to check we were warm enough - which it certainly was with the cosy Woodburner and Central Heating. We had excellent communication prior to our stay with the Housekeeper of the Boathouse who was extremely helpful (a real STAR) and left a few treats for us to enjoy - Thank you. We would love to live there permanently; and hopefully will re-book and have another break at The Boathouse and do so soon, as we love it so much. We have stayed at a number of Cottages over the past few years and this has been one of the best…. But do not tell anyone… as it is a very special place. Thank you xx. PS: 10 mins walk up the hill (turn left out of the Boathouse Gate) you will find The Gear Farm Pasty Shop and locally grown Veg - the pasties were amazing… (I am Cornish and occasionally make my own pasties… so a bit particular… I must say these were brilliant - a “proper Cornish Pasty”…. Enjoy ...
