Oakenhurst is a captivating oak-framed boathouse located in the picturesque village of Golant, Cornwall, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This charming retreat, which accommodates two guests, is steeped in 19th-century history and boasts stunning riverside views of the River Fowey. With its exposed stone walls and lofty beamed ceilings, Oakenhurst offers a romantic setting ideal for couples looking to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Just 4.4 miles from Fowey, this cozy abode serves as an excellent base for exploring the surrounding coastal beauty.
Upon arrival, guests can park nearby and ascend the oak steps to the bright and airy open-plan living space. This area is designed to maximize the breathtaking views of the river, where the tide ebbs and flows. The well-equipped kitchen allows for convenient meal preparation, while the inviting dining space and traditional furnishings create a warm atmosphere for relaxation. The panoramic river views from the living area enhance the overall experience, making it a perfect spot for intimate dinners or leisurely afternoons.
When it’s time to rest, guests can retreat to the mezzanine level, affectionately known as 'the ropeloft', featuring a luxurious 6ft zip/link bed that can be arranged as two singles or one super-king-size double. The en-suite bathroom offers modern amenities, while additional convenience is provided by a shower room located downstairs, perfect for refreshing after a day of outdoor activities. Skylights in the ropeloft come with blinds, and a sail can be drawn for added privacy, ensuring a comfortable and restful stay.
Beyond the boathouse, the surrounding area is rich with opportunities for exploration and relaxation. Guests can rent kayaks nearby to navigate the river or enjoy a meal at the friendly Fishermans Arms pub. For more extensive amenities, the nearby towns of Tywardreath and Par offer shops and dining options. A short drive leads to the Eden Project, renowned for its botanical gardens, or the historic port of Charlestown. Adventurers can also hike along the scenic Polperro Heritage Coast, culminating in the charming fishing village of Polperro, where stunning views of the harbor and beach await. Oakenhurst provides a unique escape, blending historical charm with natural beauty for an unforgettable getaway.
