Property code: OC-CCTOWN

This distinctive waterfront house sits right on the River Fowey and is a perfectly tranquil destination for a family get together or holiday with a group of friends. Less than 2 miles away, the pretty village of Lerryn has a village shop/cafe and a pub, as well as famous stepping stones which are an alternative to the river bridge when the tide is out. Just 5 miles away, the Cornish town of Lostwithiel is known for its antiques shops and range of independent boutiques, and has a number of cafes and restaurants. Also, within 10 miles, is the National Trust’s Lanhydrock, an impressive late-Victorian country house with extensive gardens and a wooded estate that includes cycle trails and a range of walks.

With beamed ceilings and wooden floors, the property’s traditional style is matched by a blend of antique and new furnishings carefully chosen for both comfort and character. There are plenty of options for relaxing and socialising, the largest of which is the lovely main lounge, featuring a rocking chair and piano, as well as French doors to the garden. There is another spacious seating area at one end of the kitchen/diner, where a rugged stone wall surrounds a wood burner, plus a welcoming conservatory - an ideal spot for relaxing and enjoying views of the gardens and river. The kitchen/diner itself is a large, handsome and light-filled room with a good mix of cupboards, and there is a very useful utility room housing essential appliances. On the first floor, there are four pretty, good-sized bedrooms, two king-size (one with an en-suite) and two twins, plus a family shower room.

The gardens here are really special, featuring sheltering trees and a sloping lawn that leads to the water’s edge, with steps that lead to the shore. From here you can moor and launch your own boat. There is also a large patio with a BBQ and garden furniture.

This was our second stay at Clovertown and it didnt disappoint. The house is very comfortable, well equipped and set in an idyllic location overlooking the river. We enjoyed fabulous walks straight from the property and on the coast path near by. As there is a mooring just below the house, we hired a boat again and really enjoyed trips on the riverRead more including going over to Golant and up to Lerryn for evening meals. Our dog had a great time too and we love the fact that the garden is totally secure. Clovertown is a very special place and a third visit is a definite possibility ! Hide

Clovertown is a very comfortable property set in a stunning location. We really enjoyed the many beautiful walks which were directly accessible from the house and exploring the coastline close by. We spent many an afternoon just relaxing in the lovely peaceful garden watching the boats sail by on the estuary. In fact we hired a boat which we mooredRead more directly below the property and enjoyed trips to Golant, Lerryn and St Winnow.The garden is fully enclosed so our dog was safe and had a wonderful time too. Our only wish was that there was a better BBQ ! We hope to return to Clovertown in the near future and would certainly recommend it if you want a peaceful holiday in a fantastic location. Hide

I can't praise this property enough. I am from South Africa and booked Clovertown so that I could enjoy a week away in Cornwall with my daughter and her husband and Grandchildren who moved to Frimley Surrey one and a half years ago. We will have so many fantastic memories of time spent collecting stones by the river and running up and down the lawRead moren in the garden. The house and property were perfect for us and we will go home with many happy memories. Hide
