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 a small quiet cove in Gillan with beautiful uninterrupted views over the Cove and beyond out to sea. There is direct access to the beach which is a mixture of sand and shingle.

It is the owners' second home and as such it is well equipped and luxuriously appointed. The house was totally renovated in 2002 and the latest heating and hot water systems installed.

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

ACCOMMODATION The layout of The Boathouse has maximised the impact 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 kitchen which also faces the sea and has lovely views. In the kitchen there is a large pine table which comfortably sits 10 people. Also on the first floor is the master bedroom and en-suite bathroom. 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 one 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 a single bedroom with bunk beds. The single 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 larger twin room and the single bunk bed room to share.

Overlooking the lovely garden is a large conservatory sitting room with lots of toys and a TV and DVD/video player.

The washing machine and tumble dryer are located downstairs.

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 Pilchard factory in Penzance, 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!
