Jordan Cottage

About this property

Jordan Cottage is a homely riverside retreat located in the tranquil village of Bodinnick, just 0.8 miles and a quick ferry ride from the picturesque and lively town of Fowey. Fowey has a great range of shops and eateries as well as its own beach, Readymoney Cove, and you can also join in a range of activities such as boat hire and sea and river trips etc. In this way, Jordan Cottage offers the best of both worlds: a characterful Cornish holiday home and garden with the town of Fowey nearby.

Inside, Jordan Cottage offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with views of the Fowey estuary and all its activities which include sailing, boating, rowing and the occasional appearance of ocean- going ships which dock opposite the cottage in order to load up with Cornish china clay. The well equipped kitchen provides all that is needed for dining at home, including fresh herbs from the pots outside the door. The bedroom has a comfortable double bed and has a wardrobe, a chest of drawers and bedside cupboards for clothes and possessions. The nearby bathroom has a bath with an overhead shower for a relaxing soak or a refreshing shower. The cosy sitting room is perfect for cooler evenings complete with a wood burning stove and a free supply of kindling and logs. Entertainment is covered with a Smart TV, DVD player and a good selection of classic and contemporary films. The well-stocked bookcase and comfortable arm chair and sofa are distinctive features of this cottage. Finally, the large airy conservatory allows you to enjoy the views of the Fowey Valley, including the estuary and the surrounding hills as well as the wildlife in the trees and woodland below. The conservatory not only has a comfortable sitting area but also includes a large dining table which can double up as a workspace area. In the coffee table shelves there are OS maps, local walking guides and a pair of binoculars.

Outside the cottage there is reserved, free parking which makes your arrival and parking during your stay guaranteed. Very importantly, there is a large, private garden with outdoor furniture so that you can best enjoy relaxing in the sunshine. The garden has a planted area and every opportunity has been taken to encourage wildlife. The garden is regularly visited by tawny owls, nesting tits, bats and even deer. Many great walks, including the wooded estuary and sweeping coastline, start in Bodinnick and guests are welcome to bring one well-behaved dog.

This small town and civil parish lies at the mouth of the River Fowey in south Cornwall. The estuary of the River Fowey forms a natural harbour, which enabled the town to become an important trading centre. There is a wealth of things to see and do in and around the harbour. Whether you enjoy getting out on the water, playing golf or finding out more about the history of the area, you are sure to find something to suit the whole family. Harbour cruises leave the Town Quay regularly in season giving you a superb view of the town, but for the more adventurous, rent your own self-drive boat, kayak or paddle board and explore the waters for yourselves! The town is steeped in history, so why not join a guided tour of either Fowey or Polruan? You can even join an owl experience, play golf, go horse riding or pursue your artistic talents with pottery or painting courses. There is the aquarium, museum and St Catherine's Castle, as well as Readymoney Cove, all waiting to be explored. If you get peckish, or fancy something thirst quenching along the way, there is a plethora of pubs, inns, cafes and restaurants to choose. Whenever you plan to visit, keep a look out for the festivals, fairs, markets and theatre performances on throughout the year. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. Discover them all from this fantastic base!
