“Fabulous cottage in a quiet location”

We have been to Island House twice now and find the cottage and Golant very relaxing and tranquil. The house has good sized rooms and facilities ideal staying in with a fire and a movie from the CD collection. We never get bored of looking out the window at the ever changing tide and all the boats on your door step. Also there is a cosy pub 50 yards away with good food.

“You already have chapter and verse as to the problems.”

Dumpers/Piling noise from builders heard INSIDE and OUTSIDE property. These facts were not alerted to us by your organisation.

Thank you for leaving your feedback following your stay at Island House and for contacting us during your holiday. The work is proceeding at a site two streets away from the property and you were concerned that this had generated construction traffic in the village. You weren't advised of this in advance as neither the Owner or Helpful Holidays were aware of any such issues prior to your stay. The distance from the site would suggest that any disturbance to holidays at Island House would be minimal and this has been confirmed by subsequent guests at the property. Owner relations

“The welcome pack was lovely.”

Champagne flutes can be bought quite cheaply and would have enhanced the pleasure of drinking the Prosecco. Fortunately we brought our own!

The property

In Golant, on the edge of the harbour and surrounded on three sides by water at high tide, a fabulous cottage, aptly named Island House.

The location is superb, with water views from every window and from the first floor the river’s moorings can be seen beyond the Victorian railway embankment along which an occasional freight train trundles with china clay bound for Fowey.

Enclosed, mainly cobbled pretty garden around two sides of the house with sun terrace (table/chairs, barbecue) for alfresco dining at any time of day.

Dinghy mooring available nearby (16' open boat can be hired and delivered from Fowey).

Step from front door into bright spacious kitchen/dining room (dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer, electric cooker) with views.

Step down to large beamed living room with limestone-flagged floor (rugs), woodburner, TV/DVD/Blu-ray/PVR.

Charming study with desk.

Washer-drier in cupboard.

Twisting stairs (stairgate) from the living room up to two bedrooms (TVs) - a pretty double (5' bed), and a twin; bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

From the kitchen, second flight of stairs (stairgate) up to a smart double bedroom (5' bed) with TV, French windows to balcony and the best views across the estuary, plus en suite shower-room (suite).

An exceptional waterside property in a beautiful part of Cornwall. Golant: small waterside village (good pub, fine church, boat/kayak hire) on the western bank of the beautiful River Fowey.

Fowey and Polkerris (pretty fishing hamlet with small harbour, beach), both 4 miles.

Fine cliff walks to Gribbin Head.

Nearby is Daphne du Maurier's former home, Menabilly, which inspired Manderley in ‘Rebecca’.

Perched on the river Fowey, Golant is a quaint Cornish waterside village offering a Fisherman’s arms Pub, the Comorant Hotel and Restaurant and a retail art gallery. This charming village, due to the stretch of the River Fowey Golant sits on, has inspired many writers including the author of “The Wind in the Willows”. Why not enjoy this picturesque river first hand and book a kayaking trip? Four miles away is the famous yachting village of Fowey which is bursting with character. Walk down the enchanting cobbled streets accompanied by Georgian historic buildings. This unique village is home to an array of shops, pubs and restaurants, with plenty to offer for everyone all year round. There are many family attractions in the area, including Mevagissey and Charlestown harbours, the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.
