Badgers Dens is a wonderful rural retreat. Perfect at anytime of the year! A big comfy king size bed, central heating, luxurious power shower and heated towel rail in the ensuite, a well equipped kitchen, outside space with the use of a charcoal bbq and you can pick your own apples in late summer as we have many apple trees! It is situated at the end of a farm track surrounded by fields. A lovely peaceful location between Fowey and Par. You can park right outside the front door and a sensor light will come on when it gets dark. There is a step down to the front door and a step up into the living/bedroom and a step down into the ensuite! We have an hand held shower outside for washing muddy boots/dogs and is also great for washing off your wetsuit! The wonderful historic port of Fowey is a 2.5 mile drive or a 6 mile walk around the coastal path (or 3.5 miles if you take a short cut inland)! You'll be able to take a boat trip from Fowey in the summer months or you could hire and captain your own boat through the harbour! Polkerris is a short walk around the coastal path, a beautiful small harbour and beach with a pub and a restaurant and beach café, the perfect place to watch the sun go down. The famous Charlestown is a 3 mile walk on the coastal path or a 10 min drive. Its featured in many films and is one of Poldarks filming locations. The Eden Project is 2.5 miles away, the lovely working port of Mevagissey is 11 miles, Truro 20 miles, Looe 20 miles, Padstow 24 miles, Falmouth 30 miles. Staying here is a fantastic base as nowhere in Cornwall is more than 1.5 hrs drive away. Par is a mainline train station, so getting around even without a car is very easy. There is a range of activities nearby, Woody's Bike Park, a down hill mountain bike park is half a mile away (for adrenaline junkies), kayak hire is available in Fowey as well as sailing and there are a couple of Golf courses and Spas within a couple of miles. Bodmin is 11 miles away, here you can get on the Camel Trail and cycle to Wadebridge and Padstow or a little easier you could drive to Wadebridge and cycle to Padstow - a lovely flat ride approx 6 miles (one way). You are able to hire cycles at Wadebridge. In Fowey there is an abundance of boutique independent shops as well as Seasalt, Fat Face, Joules and lovely selection of Cafes, restaurants, pubs, delicatessen's, tapas restaurants, fish and chips and pasty shops! In Par (1/2 mile away) you will find a Co op, Spar, Chinese take-away, fish and chip shop, fruit and veg shop, doctors surgery. A couple of miles further you will find St Austell, a large town with all major supermarkets and shops. There is always something going on locally but here are a few of the main events in Fowey:- In May the Art and Literature Festival is on, inspired by the famed author Daphne du Maurier, who spent many years living in and around Fowey. June sees the Royal Cornwall Show in Wadebridge (30 min drive). August sees the Fowey Royal Regatta, a week long of festival activities daily and live music on the quay in the evening. December brings the Christmas markets, with festival entertainment, food and drink and an opportunity to pick up some local Christmas gifts. You really need to sample all of these events! There are many walks nearby, I have given a few ideas in the information guide in the apartment. There is so much to see and do all year round that just one visit won’t be enough.
