Bed and Breakfast Description
|
|
For four hundred years The Old Ferry Inn has nestled close to the beautiful Fowey river in the heart of Du Maurier country. There has been a ferry crossing here in the small conservation hamlet of Bodinnick since the 13th century. With its special charm and ambience the Inn gives a warm welcome to all.
The dining-room serves freshly cooked à la carte evening meals using local fish, meats and produce, with a well-balanced wine list. Our friendly staff and Adam the chef will make you most welcome.
The bars are full of old photographs, nautical bric-a-brac and memoribilia, where real ale, beers, wines and spirits are available to complement a wide selection of bar food, ranging from snacks to hearty home cooked specials, available lunch times and evenings.
A large comfortable lounge with French doors opening on to the south facing terrace and looking down river to the sea, remains in sun all day.
There are 12 comfortable bedrooms ranging from the Victorian four-poster; doubles or twins to our spacious family room.
All have colour television, tea and coffee making facilities and telephone.
Most are en suite and/or with views. |

Local Attractions
|
Bodinnick is well situated to take advantage of everything beautiful Cornwall has to offer, especially sailing, windsurfing, water skiing, fishing walking, golf, historic houses and numerous gardens open to the public, or for simply taking a well-earned rest.
The Fowey River is navigable for five miles and a delightful day can be spent exploring the creeks and tributaries amongst some of the quietest and lushest scenery in Cornwall.
This is the heart of Du Maurier Country - the landscape, towns and villages made famous by writer Daphne Du Maurier. For many years she lived at Bodinnick, and took inspiration from the river and the countryside. Her home at Ferryside (not open to the public) is close by the Inn, and within a short distance can be found the settings for many of her novels, including Rebecca, The House on the Strand and her first novel The Loving Spirit, written at Ferryside. (Please note that many of the locations are private property - please respect the owners' privacy).
The town of Fowey lies opposite Bodinnick, and a short stroll from the ferry brings the visitor to the heart of this Cornish fishing port.
The Hall Walk - described as one of the hundred best walks in England, provides some of the best river and estuary views you are likely to find. The Hall Walk is a not-too-strenuous route round the lower reaches of the River Fowey. For those starting from Fowey and crossing via the Polruan passenger ferry, the Old Ferry Inn makes an ideal stopping point for refreshments or lunch.
Details of the ferries at Polruan and Bodinnick, including timetables and fares can be found on the Fowey Town Web site.
The south coast of Cornwall offers a wide variety of sheltered coves, rugged cliffs, safe bathing beaches, and quaint fishing villages. The harbour village of Polperro and the town of Looe are nearby, and offer a wide range of facilities for the visitor. |
