The Boathouse

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 ...

Fantastic cottage so comfortable and well equipped in a lovely location. The view of the river was wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful stay. Very cosy. Comfortable beds. Good quality bedding and towels Warm bathrooms
Good night lights Would definitely go back

Beautiful peaceful new restoration. Access on to the water either side of high tide on kayaks or paddleboard is a joy. Swans come to be fed at supper time. Amazing pasty company and organic veg stall minutes up the road. Mawgan stores also carries amazing stock range. Hired boats to go fishing from St Anthony. Lovely people and a great day. A forgotten corner of Cornwall. Didn't feel crowded at peak season. It was a restorative pleasure to stay....

This is a beautiful conversation of a boathouse in a gorgeous setting. A well equipped kitchen, good showers and comfortable beds make for a great stay. There is also a very efficient wood burner for colder evenings (like our current June weather!). We had a great stay - and thank you for the scones cream and delicious home made strawberry jam! Much appreciated! ...
