Lanteglos-By-Fowey, Cornwall

Found in the picturesque Lanteglos-by-Fowey, Cornwall, Pont Creek is an interesting two-bedroom cottage that accommodates up to three guests. Set against a backdrop of lush woodland and just a stone's throw from the water’s edge, this converted former stable combines rustic charm with modern comforts.

Guests can enjoy the soothing sounds of the nearby stream and the vibrant local wildlife, making it a perfect retreat for nature enthusiasts and those seeking tranquility.

Pont Creek is situated in a quaint hamlet alongside two other cottages, allowing visitors to embrace a slower pace of life. The property boasts a cozy atmosphere, complete with a wood-burning stove for those cooler evenings. The private garden at the back provides a serene space for relaxation, though the proximity to the creek encourages most guests to spend their time by the water. The area is steeped in history, once serving as a bustling river quay where barges transported goods, and it now serves as a scenic spot for walkers and outdoor adventurers.

The creek is a popular destination for various water activities, including kayaking and paddleboarding, with a private quay available for launching small boats up to 11 feet in length. The nearby Hall Walk is a favorite among ramblers, offering stunning views and the opportunity to take two ferry rides across the estuary. This connection to the water and the surrounding landscape makes Pont Creek an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty of the region.

While the serene environment of Pont Creek provides a peaceful escape, the bustling town of Fowey is just a short distance away. Visitors can easily access Fowey by passenger ferry from Polruan or by car via Bodinnick, where they can indulge in delicious dining options available on both sides of the river. For those longing for beach activities, the beautiful shores of Lantic Bay are nearby, and history enthusiasts can explore the National Trust properties of Lanhydrock, Cotehele, and Antony, as well as the charming fishing villages of Looe and Polperro, enhancing the overall experience of a stay at Pont Creek.
