This lovely grade 2 listed Georgian Manor House, built of granite by my family in 1827 in a quiet and peaceful setting overlooking the Fowey River, offers a marvellous centre from which to explore all parts of Cornwall and South West Devon.

Surrounded by the home farm of 110 acres of the Fowey Valley, all the properties are a few hundred yards from the Manor House and have gardens. From the gardens you can look down to our private river bank on which you may fish or take a walk. The cattle and sheep on our farm will often come to greet you and be of constant amusement to you and your family.

We offer accommodation with character which is inspected annually by the English Tourist Board and has been rated as 4 or 5 Keys Commended or Highly Commended.
