The Boathouse must be one of the finest private houses available for self-catering holiday letting in Cornwall. It commands a truly stunning location right on the beach in a small quiet cove in Gillan with beautiful uninterrupted views over the Cove and beyond out to sea. The beach is a mixture of sand and shingle and is perfect for launching dinghies/kayaks at all states of the tide. It also provides safe swimming and rock pooling.

It is the owners' second home and as such it is well equipped and luxuriously appointed. The house is being enlarged and refurbished during Spring 2010.

It was the cover feature in
"25 Beautiful Homes" in August 2004.

ACCOMMODATION The layout of The Boathouse makes the most of its beautiful location. On the first floor is a large open plan sitting room with double doors looking out over the creek and beyond out to sea. The double doors lead out onto a large decking area with a table and chairs for outside dining. At high tide the water will be but a few feet away!

Leading off the sitting room is the 30 foot kitchen/dining room which also faces the sea and has lovely views. Also on the first floor is the study and two master bedrooms with their respective ensuite bathrooms. This means that the house is well suited to couples as the downstairs bedrooms may be closed off and the first floor acts as a spacious two bedroom apartment.

Downstairs there is a twin bedroom with en-suite shower room, a larger bedroom with twin beds and a set of bunk beds and another twin bedroom. This twin bedroom is on the garden side of the house whilst the other two bedrooms face the sea and you can fall asleep to the sound of gentle waves lapping on the shore. The large shower room with its metre square shower is for the 4 bed room and the garden twin bed room to share.

Overlooking the lovely garden is a 30 foot games/TV room with large flatscreen TV, DVD and lots of books and toys. There are two entrances to the house; the wetroom with shower for wet sandy people coming off the beach where they can take off and hang up their wetsuits in the warmth! Also the front door leading to a carpeted hallway and the rest of the accommodation for dry people!. There is a laundry room on the ground floor with washing machine and separate dryer and next door the laundry room is a loo and basin..

On the ground floor there is also a small bunk bedroom. The wetroom, loo and basin is just opposite this bedroom.

SAILING Gillan Creek is situated right next to the Helford River which is famous for its unspoilt and protected sailing waters. It is possible to bring your own sailing dinghies to the Boathouse and to launch and store them on the beach or in the garden. Alternatively you may hire a wide range of boats from Sailaway at St Anthony which is situated minutes away. Moorings for larger boats are also available in the Cove right outside the house from Sailaway. Please note that the Boathouse beach always has water and is not muddy! It does not dry out as we are not far enough up the creek for this to happen.

WALKING The Cornish Coastal path passes right by the Boathouse and there are stunning Cliffside and riverside walks directly from the house. At low tide one may cross Gillan Creek and walk to Helford. A short drive from the house takes you to Daphne du Maurier's famous "Frenchman's Creek" which is another lovely walk as is the walk to Tremayne Quay which is in the same vicinity. There are also woodland walks on the nearby 1000 acre Trelowarren Estate.

GARDENS The Lizard is well known for its many and beautiful gardens and within easy reach of the Boathouse are the following gardens; Trebah, Glendurgan, Trelissick, The Lost Gardens of Heligan and The Eden Project (just over an hour by car).

SIGHTSEEING There are many and varied things to see and do around the Boathouse from art in the Tate at St Ives to walking with camels at Goonhilly! There is Land's End to see as well as the new Maritime Museum in Falmouth, the Goonhilly Satellite tracking station, going down an old tin mine or a trip to the Duchy Oyster Farm in Porth Navas Creek, visiting the Seal sanctuary or having a day out at Flambards! There are also fabulous surfing beaches in St Ives Bay (40 mins drive). There are plenty of lovely pubs and restaurants too!
