Description
Enys Boathouse offers self catering accommodation in rural Cornwall. Situated in the heart of a Cornish village, our holiday let is deceptively spacious and comfortably furnished, sleeping up to four people.
Enys Boathouse is a unique wooden structure based on the Bolney Ferry Boathouse on the River Thames. This charming property benefits from its own private terrace with panoramic westerly views out over the countryside.
The village of Porkellis is ideal for those seeking a quiet, rural holiday let in Cornwall.
The boathouse offers versatile self catering accommodation suitable for families, couples or groups of friends. The main living area converts into a double bedroom with a comfy double bed, which pulls down from the wall and is hidden away in a cabinet when not in use.
For children there is the added excitement of sleeping in the Crow's Nest, which is only accessible via a pull down loft ladder (which folds away when not in use). It is most suitable for over 5's. It is a cosy sleeping space up in the rafters that is ideal for children but is also easily spacious enough for two adults, should you prefer.
All bedding and towels are provided and WiFi is free of charge.
When the double wall bed is not in use, the open plan living space is great for entertaining. A TV, with Freeview, DVD player (and selection of DVDs). High speed unlimited broadband is also available and free to use.
A sailor's kitchen awaits for those who enjoy cooking and guests also have use of a BBQ. However, for those who prefer to eat out, the local pub - offering good value food and drink - is just a minute's walk away.
Kitchen facilities include:
- Microwave
- Small Portable Oven and hob (2 rings)
- Fridge with freezer compartment
- Fold-away surface space
- Kettle & Toaster
- On-demand hot water
Cutlery, Crockery, Utensils and Pans
Elsewhere, there is also a small dining table and, for when the sun is shining, an outdoor table, chairs and parasol are also at hand.
Enys Boathouse boasts a cosy shower room, toilet and wash basin - towels will be provided.
Should you need to wash or dry your clothes, there is also a small utility room located on the ground floor (where parking is also available). Here you will find a washing machine and tumble drier as well as clothes line, BBQ and deck chairs.
For those looking short breaks in Cornwall, we are happy to offer rates for minimum stays of three nights.
Porkellis is perfectly situated; it is a quiet country village, surrounded by green fields, yet ideally located for access to both north and south coasts, the busy towns of Helston, Falmouth and Truro and many visitor attractions.
