About this property
The Boathouse is a delightful, detached, very romantic, stylishly furnished, waterside holiday Cornish cottage situated on its own quay with water on three sides and all rooms have river views. Sit, glass in hand, in the comfort of the stunning conservatory and watch boats, birds and the wide stretches of the river flow gently past. This heavenly spot is set on the Cornish side of the Tamar in the peaceful village of Cargreen with glorious views from every room across the water to the rolling fields of Devon. St Mellion Golf & Country Club is a few minutes drive, further on are sandy beaches and excellent restaurants, with the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the historic City of Plymouth, several National Trust properties and much more, all within easy reach of this idyllic haven.

On a day when we saw several rainbows on our journey here, this was surely the place where the rainbow ends. The Lances.
