The Boat House

Downderry, Cornwall, UK

Originally the seaside lodge to Lord St. Germans of the Port Eliot Estate, this luxury self-catering retreat in Downderry retains all the authentic character from its previous life as a Cornish boat house. With luxurious, contemporary interiors and no less than five acres of secluded wooded grounds bound by National Trust land, The Boat House provides an unparalleled coastal escape in "the forgotten corner of Cornwall". Tiptoe down the garden path and you'll be right on the glorious South West Coast Path.
