The Creek is in the heart of the ancient village of Lerryn, overlooking the tidal river (a tributary of the River Fowey) and the Stepping Stones that appear at low tide. With woods on both sides of the river there are beautiful walks all year round, which are believed to be the inspiration for Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows".

Lerryn is five minutes from the ancient Stannary town of Lostwithiel and ten minutes from Fowey, the well known harbour town. It is ideally situated for visiting the Eden Project, the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the Maritime Museum in Falmouth, the Tate at St Ives and Padstow. There is a pub in the village and the fabulous Lerryn River Stores (and Post Office) selling everything from washing powder to award winning sausages.

The Creek forms part of one of the oldest buildings in the village. Its front door leads upstairs to the large, slate floored, open plan sitting room, allowing you to cook while enjoying the view. If it’s not your turn to cook, you can lie in front of the log burning stove, before laying the table. The sitting room leads to the balcony (which overlooks the river) with its table, parasol and directors chairs.
