Ancarva
Description
With amazing scenery and breath taking panoramic views across the estuary watching the tide rise and full and the boats meandering by. Ancarva is a paradise for sailing enthusiasts or for anyone looking for the absolute best in luxury accommodation set within the most beautiful and relaxing location imaginable. This is a stunning contemporary property situated on the banks of the River Tamar, with the historic Mount Edgcumbe estate beyond, with glorious views, this property sits near the village of Millbrook on the beautiful and much sought after Rame Peninsula. Directly on the water’s edge with its own mooring and pontoon, this special property was listed in the Sunday Times as one of the best 50 British cottages for summer, although this property is a truly all year destination for anyone looking to enjoy a truly memorable holiday.
The children will enjoy the secluded waters lapping the pebbly beach and the adults will delight in the fabulous surroundings and the tasteful contemporary design.
After an enjoyable drive to this hidden corner of south east Cornwall, the moment you enter directly into the stunning living area, with balcony overlooking the water, you will experience a wow factor that just keeps growing. The spacious sitting area is truly luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling glazing and an ultra-modern kitchen where bi-folding glass doors open onto a stunning terrace, bringing the outside in where you can dine alfresco in the best surroundings with the best views, gazing out at the boats sailing by and the horizon beyond. Step down into the lower ground floor and admire the stylish family bathroom and four beautifully-furnished bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities and TV. Each bedroom boasts sliding doors through which you can access the terrace and lawned garden outside, providing a perfect haven into which you can retreat and surround yourself with tranquil scenes of the river at sunset. If you can be tempted away from Ancarva either by boat or car, you will be rewarded with the beautiful beaches and secluded coves all along the coast. There is a plethora of excellent places to dine, including The View near Whitsand Bay and The Canteen at Maker Heights. The charming seaside villages of Cawsand and Kingsand are also close by and the magical Rame Peninsula is just waiting to be explored. Ancarva is such a special place to stay at any time of year; it really does have it all.

What guests are saying
The property we have ever rented.
Detail was very good, kitchen had all you needed. One very small niggle the freezer was a bit small. But all other things were really very good. All rooms are a very good size. The view is great, so quite. Lovely to watch the tide come in and out.
This was one of the best properties we have stayed in.
The view over the river estuary was beautiful and the peace and quiet is something you rarely get. The kitchen is well equipped with a selection of 3 ovens from conventional to microwave to steam, 2 fridges one with a small freezer and an abundance of crockery, cutlery and cooking dishes an utensils, you’ll want for nothing. All the bedrooms are plush with different colour schemes and 2 have en suite bathrooms. There are a washing machine and a dryer in the downstairs utility room and easily over a hundred DVD’s in the upstairs cupboard with something for everyone. There is a great little cafe at the nearby marina and a CoOp and Premier store less than 5 mins drive in the village. All in all you will not be disappointed with this stay.
Ancarva is a wonderful property in a great location next to the water.
The rooms are light due to the amount on glass so the views are always there. The house is finished to a very high standard and everything is there that you could possibly want for a relaxing and peaceful holiday.
