Old Winery Cottage

Old Winery Cottage sits in Golant, a small village on the Fowey River estuary in south Cornwall. It sleeps 4 across 2 bedrooms with 1 bathroom, and has a log-burning stove with an open fire in the sitting room - useful in the shoulder seasons when west Cornwall evenings turn cool. An enclosed garden with a gas BBQ opens up outdoor eating in summer. Off-road parking and Wi-Fi are included. No dishwasher. No pets.

The cottage has 53 guest reviews, which points to a property that has been consistently used and assessed over time.

Golant sits on the east bank of the Fowey River, about 3km upstream from Fowey town. The village has a pub and access to riverside walks. Fowey itself - with its harbour, independent shops, and ferry connections - is reachable by car in under 10 minutes.

Readymoney Cove is 4km away, a sheltered sandy beach at the mouth of the Fowey estuary with calm water and a small car park. Lantic Bay is 5.3km - an unspoiled National Trust cove accessed by a coastal path descent, better suited to walkers than families with pushchairs. Lansallos Beach at 6.4km is similar in character.

Suits couples or small families wanting a quiet base near Fowey with good access to estuary walks and the coast path. Not great for guests needing a fully equipped kitchen or a property that accepts dogs. Saturday changeover.
