This delightful cottage is modern and comfortable, however maintaining plenty of charm and character.
Lanteglos Highway a hamlet in the ancient and historic parish of Lanteglos, is situated to the east of the River Fowey. The area is a wonderful choice for both coastal and inland walks, and exploring the nearby villages and attractions. The neighbouring village of Bodinnick provides regular vehicle access to Fowey by ferry, as does the foot ferry from Polruan, and is just a short distance away. The pretty harbourside town of Fowey is steeped in history with views overlooking the stunning Fowey Estuary and has so much to offer.
Take a leisurely walk around the town and sample a Cornish cream tea overlooking the busy and vibrant harbour, or take a look around the many craft shops and art galleries. Fowey Regatta is on every August, and it’s a fun-filled week of sailing races, crab catching and children’s entertainment.
