Extensive facilities without leaving the estate We have five self-catering properties: four cosy apartments within the barn and one detached period cottage. They sleep 2 to 8 guests individually or a total of 20 if all properties are combined, making Rivermead an ideal choice if you are planning a larger gathering. We offer restful harmony and comfort amidst the backdrop of an anglers’ paradise. From Rivermead Farm there are stunning uninterrupted views of rolling farmland, mature spruce forests, natural woodland and livestock in adjoining fields. Rivermead overlooks a natural scenic slope that gradually descends to the River Fowey. These delightful surroundings provide an enchanting environment for all ages. Guests can enjoy walking in our secluded 17 acre estate with its woods, copses, lake and river access. During your stay it is possible to see otters, badgers, foxes, wild deer, Canadian wild geese, kingfishers, owls, herons, mallards, blue tits, finches, moorhens, nuthatches, robins, woodpeckers and hovering birds of prey. Rivermead is ideal for any age. Keep fit walking around the estate or use the fitness trail; children can play safely on the extensive grass areas; use the Petanque court and Swing Ball or just chill out with a glass of wine beside the lake. There are picnic tables outside all of the properties. Bike hire is also available locally. Fishing “The River Fowey is one of the best and prettiest Sea Trout Rivers in England” Independent Game Fishing Guide The river also has the best late autumn salmon fishing in the country, remaining open until December 15th. Rivermead Farm lake is well stocked with mature brown trout, making it an anglers’ paradise for a full nine months of the year. Both the salmon and sea trout thrive by spawning in the pure upland waters of Bodmin moor. After 20 miles, the tributaries meet just above Rivermead Farm at Twowatersfoot. Whether you are an experienced fisherman or novice you can relax down by the river and pit your wits against nature. The renowned Kingfisher pool at Rivermead Farm is one of the best fishing locations on the whole River Fowey. A ghillie can be hired by separate negotiation and booked in advance. Fishing trips can be arranged for sea fishing with Looe fishermen. There is a rod room for the storage of equipment, wet gear and footwear.
