2 adults Sky
Cottage is in the heart of the
village of Golant-by-Fowey on
the south coast of Cornwall
known as the Cornish Riviera.
This self-catering holiday cottage has been
renovated to a very high
standard and is a wonderful
hideaway from which to explore
the Eden Project, Lanhydrock
House (National Trust), the
picturesque fishing harbour of
Mevagissey or towns of Fowey
(Daphne Du Maurier Festival is in May), and
Lostwithiel or Truro. The Tate
Gallery in St Ives is an easy
day trip. The famous harbour
of Padstow and picturesque
village of Port Isaac, where
Doc Martin was filmed,
and the many other attractions
on the North Coast are less
than an hour away making
Golant a perfect center for
touring Cornwall.
Alternatively leave the car
parked and walk to Fowey or
along the Saints way which passes the cottage. The oak stable door at the front of the cottage takes you from the front gate and wonderful patio garden into the open plan living room. A welcome basket on arrival will help you to forget your journey and start you off on the right foot for what will be a great and memorable holiday. With gorgeous blue curtains (Andrew Martin Tulip fabric), comfy leather sofa and chair, large wool rug on the solid oak floor and cosy wood burning stove you can enjoy this seasidey haven at any time of year. There is TV with freeview DVD/CD player and a small selection of DVDs, please feel free to bring your own along for a romantic evening in front of the wood burner, glass of wine in one hand and popcorn in the other! Free dry logs are provided.
Steep
winding stairs lead from the
kitchen area to the
gorgeous twinkle light filled
bedroom with comfortable 5
foot Queen size cast iron
'gothic' bedstead, original
wooden floor and wool rugs.

curtains (Osborne and Little
fabric in here) There is a TV

view over the village rooftops
to the Fowey River and
