Simply stunning reversed level, detached house with commanding views across the river, cinema room and sauna, making this a luxurious retreat for families and friends alike.

With the quay and beach within walking distance, along with some great local pubs, this is a fantastic base for kicking back, relaxing and exploring this stunning part of Cornwall.

This beautiful detached home is a stylish treat, with a clever design which gives a real feeling of light and space from the moment you enter on the ground floor. Three of the bedrooms are to be found on this level; all are en-suite and decorated in bright, simple tones to create a delightful restful ambience. Stairs lead down to the lower ground-floor’s fantastic open-plan living space, which is dominated by full-height windows which allow you to take in those spectacular views.

The chic kitchen will be a hit with the chefs of the group, with everything you’ll need throughout your stay, while the dining area is a lovely space for entertaining and socialising. Head down a further flight of stairs to the basement ground floor, where movie buffs will love settling down on a sofa or bean bag to enjoy a favourite film. A spacious double bedroom and master king-size bedroom are also located on this level, completing the sleeping accommodation. A step takes you up to the hidden gem of a sauna room which will be a welcome retreat after a busy day of exploring. There’s plenty of choice when it comes to outside space at this property, with various patio terraces to enjoy as well as a fully enclosed garden which is great for children and dogs to roam freely.

Overall this was a fantastic property. The house was really nice with fantastic views and the 5 en-suites made it perfect for 5 couples sharing. I would definitely recommend it and/or stay again in the future

Really well equipped and plenty of room for everyone, with three generations this could have been a problem but not here , teenagers in cinema room , parents in sauna, twenty somethings in hot tub and oldies watching good old TV. Thank you.

We have stayed in quite a few rental properties and this location was lovely.This house is well situated in a quiet part of Cornwall but with easy access to many quaint towns via ferry if you didn't want to drive around the very narrow roads. There was plenty to see and do from walking to beach time to boat hire to shopping. The house had beautifulRead more views and was close to a fab bakery. The kids loved the media room and I loved the sauna. Not for anyone with accessibility issues. Hide

This is a great house. As you always read, the photos don't do it justice and this really applies to the Glass House.

What an amazing property! Had an lovely week here with three generations of our family staying in spacious comfort.

The house had a beautiful outlook and very sunny position at the top of a very steep hill accessed by road or footpaths. The local Lugger pub was excellent to be found at the bottom of the hill with a convenience store, baker , cafe and another pub plus the regular foot ferry to Fowey.
