1 Bedroom Barn in Fowey

White Willow is our newest luxury eco-barn, completed in June 2009, The open-plan design is cool and contemporary and exquisitely furnished with leather corner sofa and cowhide rugs, fairtrade wood and exposed slate and lime walls. The luxurious experience continues with Italian limestone floors gently heated by our ground source heat pump.

The indulgent bathroom has a part sunken Jacuzzi bath and the natural soya candles and aromatherapy oils and soft bamboo bathrobes provided add to the organic but luxurious ambiance.

The solar dried oak cladding on the North side is insulated with local lambs wool to keep the barns snug and cosy but for the chillier evenings there is a contemporary log burner and logs are provided free of charge.

Artwork and crafts displayed are by local Cornish artists or from third world "community in tourism" projects.

White Willow sleeps 2 people and is available on a nightly basis with discounts for 7 night bookings. Breakfast is available by arrangement only at an extra charge of £10.00 per person.

The kitchen is fully equipped with granite and slate work surfaces, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, electric oven and a large American style fridge/freezer. The bedroom has a kingsize bed with organic silk filled duvet and pillows and fairtrade sheets. There are fantastic views out across the countryside towards Fowey and, if required, a full Cornish breakfast can be delivered to the barn to be enjoyed inside or outside under the covered veranda which has been decked in winter jasmin and passion flower.

The quintessentially Cornish port of Fowey is just over a mile from the Old Watermill. A lovely stroll passing the foot ferry to Bodinnick & along Passage Street, past the lifeboat station to the harbour.
