About this property
Stunning River Views, Tranquil Split-Level House, Private Garden & Parking
A wonderful four-bedroom house, situated three miles from Fowey in an attractive waterside village.
This comfortable home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a living/dining room, a fully furnished sunroom, a balcony, and a private garden.
The perfect location for relaxing and enjoying glorious views, from the house's elevated position, over the garden and Golant village to the beautiful, ever-changing river.
The property is located on The Saint's Way Trail and is under three miles from the historic coastal town of Fowey, making it the ideal holiday home for couples or families, looking for a relaxed, cosy retreat in South Cornwall.
Located at the end of its private driveway with parking for at least three cars.
The house offers four bedrooms set over two levels. The master bedroom, two twin-bedded rooms, and another double room.
The master bedroom has a large double bed with spacious built-in wardrobes and glorious views of the well-kept garden, Golant village and the river.
There are two bathrooms on the principal level, both with showers and one with a bath, and the fourth bedroom has an ensuite shower room.
There is a characterful living room with an open, working fireplace, BT TV and DVD player, comfy seating for eight and a dining room table.
There is also a fully furnished sunroom with a dining table and seating for eight and a large balcony with outdoor furniture and breath-taking river views.
These are all fabulous spaces for enjoying the stunning views of the River Fowey, Golant and surrounding countryside.
The fully-equipped kitchen includes an electric hob, double oven, microwave, washing machine and dryer.
There is also a games room with a table football table and dartboard.
The secure, terraced garden makes this the perfect rental for guests with well-behaved pets.
The property is accessible via a steep driveway off the main road and steps to access the front door from the parking area. Please let us know if you are enquiring about guests with limited mobility.
Golant has a very friendly local pub, The Fisherman's Arms, less than 5 minutes walk from the house, and Paddle Cornwall SUP - a canoe, kayak and paddleboard hire company.
As well as being a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Golant is situated in the heart of du Maurier country, with Castle Dor at the top of the hill, The House on the Strand in nearby Tywardreath and the classic Rebecca and My Cousin Rachel set just a couple of miles away.
The historic local church of St Sampson is well worth a visit – originally built in the 13th century and rebuilt in the early 1500s.
For walkers, there is easy access to some dramatic parts of the South West Coastal Path and the atmospheric Hall walk around the entrance to the River Fowey.
The Eden Project and Tregrehan Gardens are nearby and slightly further afield, The Lost Gardens of Heligan.
The South Cornish Coast is blessed with many beautiful, safe and sandy beaches. Colbeh is spoilt with a number of these lovely beaches on its doorstep including, Readymoney, Polkerris, Par and Crinnis Beach at Carlyon Bay all within a 10-minute drive from the property.
For golfers, there are several challenging courses nearby offering breathtaking sea views including, Carlyon Bay and St Austell. All a lot of fun as long as you don’t mind losing a ball or two into the sea! Lanhydrock Golf Course, just south of Bodmin, is a good, inland challenge. And of course, there are the renowned seaside courses of St Enodoc and Trevose on the north coast.

About the host
Hosted by Charles

Hi, I'm Charles. I run Colbeh with my wife, Lucy, and our children Katie and Ollie. I grew up near Fowey and, as our children have grown up, we have enjoyed spending family holidays here, and are now thrilled to be introducing our grandchildren to Cornwall’s many charms.
Why they chose this property
The moment we set foot in Colbeh and saw the stunning river views, we knew it was the perfect property for us and our family to continue visiting our favourite part of Cornwall.
What makes this property unique
Colbeh is the perfect base for experiencing the beautiful Fowey river and surrounding countryside. If you’re looking for a quiet and tranquil retreat, it is impossible not to relax and unwind while spending time here.
Golant is a charming, waterside village with a pub, watersports centre and cafe. You will be enchanted by its beauty and peacefulness. Positioned in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Golant boasts scenic views all year round. In the summer the river is a popular location for boating activity and in the winter left mostly to cormorants, egrets, mallards, herons and kingfishers that make the river their home.
