The Blue Cottage – a piece of history

Nestled in the idyllic village of Bodinnick, South Cornwall, sits this charming riverside cottage. A listed building that dates back to 1583, it has been thoughtfully updated to offer a tranquil retreat, perfect for couples or a young family. The property is brimming with character, featuring an ancient arched front door, solid stone walls, exposed timber beams, and a cosy wood burner.

The cottage provides a peaceful haven, presenting an ideal destination for a romantic escape or a family adventure. With a luxurious super-king-size bed and a charming bunk bed, it comfortably accommodates a couple or a family with young children. From this historic dwelling, you can enjoy magnificent views of the River Fowey as it meanders its way towards the sea.
Enter into the cosy lounge/diner, complete with a Smart TV, a comfortable sofa, a wood burner, and a beamed ceiling. This space is perfect for unwinding after a day spent exploring. The dining table is conveniently situated by the window, setting the scene for a romantic meal or a family dinner prepared in the adjacent, stylish galley kitchen.
The property also includes a refreshing ground-floor shower room and a handy first-floor WC. Step outside to discover a small seating area at the front of the cottage, offering a pleasant space for morning coffee. At the rear, uneven granite steps lead up to a garden that boasts the best sea views in the area.
The cottage is situated in Bodinnick, a waterside village that marks the start of the world-renowned Hall Walk to Polruan (3 miles). This walk takes you through woodlands, alongside streams, down narrow lanes, and offers stunning views. From Bodinnick or Polruan, a ferry ride takes you to the bustling coastal town of Fowey, home to a picturesque working harbour, a diverse array of pubs and restaurants, and the charming Readymoney Cove beach (1.5 miles).
