Perfectly situated on the banks of the River Fowey, the property is close to the ancient port of Fowey. The coastal village of Polruan is a short drive away, with a passenger ferry linking the two. Only slightly further afield, days out can include trips to Looe and Polperro to the east, and Mevagissey to the west. Pretty Lostwithiel is also well worth a visit and here you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to boutique interior shops and antiques emporiums. Walkers will be in their element due to direct access onto a public footpath, and the South West Coast Path nearby. Other attractions accessible from here include the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Charlestown and numerous National Trust properties.

Stepping inside this pretty property via the external staircase, you will then discover that all of the accommodation is handily arranged on one level. Firstly you will find a beautifully light and airy lounge/kitchen/diner. Here relax on the cosy sofa and watch your favourite film on the TV, after a day exploring, or enjoy a relaxed meal in the comfort of your own apartment; and the compact yet perfectly appointed kitchen boasts an electric oven and hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. The pretty bedrooms consist of a spacious super-king-size bedroom with views of the water, and opposite this a cosy bunk bedroom. Completing the offering inside this delightful apartment is a bathroom with shower over bath and WC.

The property benefits from access to a beautifully presented shared garden with a BBQ station and a choice of patio area, and this provides a perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine at the end of the day. Private off-road parking for two cars is provided.

This apartment is such a gem. Second time staying and loved it just as much as the first. The pontoon was a perfect and convenient home to our little boat and the view was perfect. A very high recommendation from us.

The property was clean and welcoming although it would have been helpfull if the fridge had been switched on. The location is quite remote down a very narrow road/path which wasn't nice to drive down. There was a ferry to Fowey quite close so went over a couple of times, wasn't impressed with Polruan at all. The highlight of our stay was a trip to Read morethe Eden Project and to Lanhydrock...well worth a visit. Hide

A really lovely property in an excellent position right on the riverside. We loved using the pontoon for our dingy. Very comfortable beds and piping hot water. Thank you for the delightful welcome packs. A truly lovely break.

Bosun's Loft is just wonderful. Having stayed in the area many times over the years and having our own little boat we chose here because of it's more quiet and calm location. Being able to keep the boat 'at the bottom of the garden', so to speak, was amazing. The apartment was really well equipped and clean. The patio area in the front and the gardRead moreen at the rear were real bonuses as was the convenient car parking. I can highly recommend it - just make sure you're aware of where you are. Enjoy.

The main attraction of this property is its waterfront location which it would be difficult to better. It has large car parking capacity which is a real bonus, but the access lane is a real challenge. I was glad that I was driving a SUV with high ground clearance!
