Acorn Cottage - Cornwall

Part of a 300-year-old barn, this single-storey bolthole for two offers an ideal escape for couples looking for some quality time together. Being conveniently located near the A30, it is easy to enjoy a day out at one of the local area’s many attractions, including the Eden Project, Lanhydrock or Bodmin Jail. You can also visit a host of spectacular beaches in the seaside hot spots of Looe (10 miles) and Fowey (14 miles), and Truro is only a short drive.

Just inside the door is a handy porch with space to store hats and coats and kick off your walking boots. To the left of the entrance is a fully equipped galley kitchen providing all you need to cook up a hearty breakfast or pack up a good lunch for the day ahead. Also off the hallway is a pretty lounge/diner complete with comfortable seating, exposed stone walls, south-facing windows, and a TV with Freeview and DVD. There's also a dining space for two offering the perfect spot for a romantic meal. Leading off from the lounge is a double bedroom, a relaxing space for a blissful night’s sleep. Completing this cottage is a shower room.

Head outside and enjoy a BBQ, using the outdoor seating to dine alfresco.

Take a dawn walk along our very own stretch of the famous Fowey river and our 17 acres of wild meadow and woodland paths or perhaps try and spot the resident kingfishers, then enjoy your morning coffee while you admire the beautiful woodland stretching across the valley. Perhaps take your lunch and stroll down to our beautiful lake, nestle on one of our dedicated seating areas to enjoy the sound of the river and spot the wildlife.

Private fishing rights allow the fisher folk in your party to enjoy our fully licensed stretch of the river Fowey. A true moorland river, the Fowey rises at the highest point in Cornwall near Brown Willy on Bodmin. It flows for 30 miles to the sea at Fowey, passing us here below your stay at Rivermead, and is little influenced by agricultural or industrial activities. Characteristically termed 'gin clear' within the community, it provides a good challenge to the keenest of fly fishers.
