Harbour Loft at Mixtow Creek

Harbour Loft at Mixtow Creek is a waterside self-catering apartment in Lanteglos, on the River Fowey. It sleeps 4 in two bedrooms: a double that looks out over the water, and a bunk bedroom for children. The bathroom has a shower over the bath.

The open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area has a TV, and Wi-Fi is included. Outside, the shared garden has patio areas and a BBQ station. Off-road parking covers 2 cars. 1 pet is welcome, and smoking is not allowed.

A shared pontoon sits in front of the house. It gives access to the water for fishing, crabbing, paddleboarding and kayaking, and boat hire can be arranged. Fowey is the nearest town, and Polruan, Looe, Polperro, Mevagissey and Lostwithiel are all within reach for days out, as are the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The South West Coast Path and local footpaths start nearby. Readymoney Cove lies across the estuary. The apartment sits in Lanteglos, a tucked-away spot on the east side of the river.

Best for couples and small families who want to spend time on the water, with the double bedroom facing the river. Less good for guests wanting a beach on the doorstep, and for those wanting a private garden or pontoon, since both are shared with other guests.
