Fernbank House

Fernbank House is a three-bedroom property in Bodinnick, a hamlet on the Fowey Estuary. What makes it distinctive is the decking that overlooks the river—the focal point of the place, with views across the water and trees. A private path from your reserved parking space leads through mature planting to the front door.

Inside, the ground floor is open-plan living space with kitchen, dining and lounge areas flowing together. Two king bedrooms and a bathroom with walk-in shower are also on this level. Upstairs, the master bedroom has a king bed, en-suite shower room and river views; there's a single sofa bed here too. The property sleeps seven. Electricity, bed linen and towels are included. No smoking.

Bodinnick is defined by its ferry—a few minutes' walk away, it carries both cars and passengers across to Fowey, where there are shops, restaurants and galleries. Coastal walks and a pub are within a mile. A reserved parking space is directly opposite the house.
