Cider Press, St Austell with riverside garden  |  Cottage in Boscundle

Experience - The Area... Only 10 minutes from the sea and just 3 miles from the Eden Project, this quaint little converted cider press with inverted accommodation and double glazing stands across the river from the original mill, surrounded by peaceful grounds and woodland. Situated in the quintessentially Cornish Luxulyan Valley (no mobile or phone reception) with great natural beauty and recently awarded World Heritage Site status, the riverside garden runs down to the banks of the boulder-strewn River Par which forms part of the boundary. Luxulyan village and St Blazey, 1.5 miles respectively, each have a pub and local shop/P.O., for a wider selection of amenities, the towns of Lostwithiel, Fowey and St Austell are all within a 15 minute drive. The large, south facing beach at Par Sands and the small sandy harbour beach at Polkerris are both about a 10 minute drive away and there are boat trips available departing from Fowey. There are several golf courses within the immediate vicinity and the Saints Way coast-to-coast recreational route passes nearby linking Padstow in the north to the southern port of Fowey. Cycling is also available locally on The Camel Trail and in Cardinham Woods. Stay - The Accommodation... From the narrow country lane an ungated entrance opens onto a narrow shared gravel driveway to the parking area with parking for one car. A short walk (100 yards) via a gravel path leads through the orchard to the secluded front terrace. From here, a covered entrance porch and glazed door with low head clearance leads into the ground floor bedroom with a double bed, a high beamed ceiling and an en-suite shower room W.C. with hand basin. In one corner of the room, a carpeted open tread staircase winds directly up to a galleried open-plan living room on the first floor with painted wood flooring, a hip shaped ceiling and views of the countryside from several small windows. There is a fitted kitchen area with solid oak units incorporating an electric oven and ceramic hob, a small dining table and chairs and a cosy and comfortably furnished lounge area with a settee and armchair. There are garden table and chairs on the front terrace which catches the afternoon sun and trails lead through the woods to both the lawned garden and orchard bordered on one side by the river and its small tumbling waterfalls. Don't forget... - This property accommodates a maximum of 2 people plus 1 infant - This property welcomes one medium-sized dog. - Sadly there is not sufficient mains electricity supply to be able to support electric vehicle charging. - The bedroom is set up as a super king, please advise if you require them to be separated.
