The Ferry House

About this property

A unique Cornish holiday home, set in an elevated position in Bodinnick, this group retreat enjoys commanding views across the river to Fowey. Sleeping 10 guests, the five-bedroom cottage encompasses sumptuous accommodation, perfect for an extended family break or getaway with a group of friends. Featuring a wood-fired hot tub and five en-suite shower rooms, it makes a magnificent base for anyone seeking exceptional comfort during their South Cornwall stay. Just 30 metres from the ferry across to fashionable Fowey, with its stylish boutiques, galleries and restaurants, the property is 1.5 miles from the beach at Readymoney Cove. The National Trust’s picture-postcard Lantic Bay is 3 miles away, while quiet Lansallos Bay is 4 miles from the house. Spend time on the beach or follow the South West Coast Path from here. Plan a trip to the Eden Project, 6 miles away via a ferry crossing or 13 miles without.

Open the front door to this special holiday cottage which overlooks Ferryside, where renowned author Daphne Du Maurier wrote many of her famous novels. Step in to discover it offers immaculate accommodation designed to make the most of its enviable position beside the River Fowey. One of your beautiful bedrooms, a twin, which has an en-suite shower room, is to the right, while to the left the house opens up to reveal its chic, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. With two sets of glass French doors set into larger arched windows, this is the perfect place to kick back and soak up the scenery. Keep the doors open in the summer months to bring in a light coastal breeze. Light the wood burner in the colder months to throw a cosy glow right across the stylish space. Head over to the kitchen area, with its sleek, granite work surfaces and high-specification appliances, to prepare tasty meals with the freshly landed Cornish seafood you have bought over in Fowey. The remaining four bedrooms are all up on the first floor. Like the ground-floor bedroom, all these inviting rooms have sumptuous interiors, en-suite shower rooms and TVs.

Make the most of fine days by savouring the wonderful outside space at your luxurious retreat. Enjoy cocktails on either of the two terraces or stoke up the steaming wood-fired hot tub. Light the BBQ and take in the views through the glass balustrades as you dine. There is parking for one car, with additional on-street space.
