“A nice place to be.”

Warm, very dog friendly, Comfortable and a great location for exploring Devon & Cornwall.

“Old winery, what a gem of a find.”

A brilliantly positioned, clean, warm, and comfortable barn conversion. Well-appointed with a smart tv, a well-equipped kitchen, a power shower, and a great log burner for those winter nights. The central heating makes it a very cosy place to stay, so if you're not a pyromaniac, you won't freeze. The dog-friendly garden leads onto several acres of meadow for spaniel-inspired play time. Can't wait to come back, Phil, Sandy, and Daniel the spaniel.

“This was my second stay at Old Winery Cottage which is set in beautiful surroundings and was just as good as the first time.”

I have two well behaved dogs that come with me and it’s so great for them and me with the lovely large secure garden and the 5 acre field just out side. Very comfortable with a cosy log fire..which this year we needed in the evenings.. Would definitely book again hopefully next year

“A beautiful cottage in a beautiful village.”

“A lovely peaceful location, off the beaten track.”

Perfect for your dogs with a large enclosed garden and a 5 acre paddock to explore. The property was extremely spacious and well equipped. I forgot how narrow some of the roads are in Cornwall, so be careful when driving. The only criticism of the property is that the double bed in main bedroom creaked at the slightest move and the mattress was very very soft. Maybe it needs replacing. Other than that, a perfect getaway.

- Andrew, August 2025
Darren July 2025

“Old Winery Cottage was perfect for us and our two dogs, a lovely property in a very tranquil location.”

The garden and adjacent hay meadow were perfect for the dogs, and we had a brilliant week. Terry and Sarah-Jayne were perfect hosts, and provided lots of helpful information prior to arrival. We would thoroughly recommend the local pub the Fisherman’s Arms, where Nick and and his team will give you a warm welcome and provide lovely home cooked food. There are lovely walks from the cottage, including the historic Saints Way that we took to Fowey and back. Would happily stay here again if we returned to the area.

“Our third visit and certainly not our last.”

Old Winery cottage is ideal for us with all the facilities we could want. Milk, teabags and a few other essentials like salt and pepper were also waiting for us. Wifi was very good and upgraded from previous visits. The beautiful hay/flower meadow next to the cottage with mowed rides was ideal for exercising our lively springer. The walk down to Golant and the friendly Fisherman's Arms was a treat in the evenings (though the walk back up the hill was sometimes harder with tired legs). It was sunny all week and we're already thinking about our next visit.

- Brian, May 2025
Robert April 2025

“Charming property, we had a fantastic week.”

Comfortable, spacious and well equipped, with a beautiful garden and a wonderful private meadow, perfect for the dogs. Lovely location too with amazing views, and the hosts were great. Definitely planning to go back!

- Robert, April 2025
Sheena February 2025

“A lovely location with easy access to many pretty places.”

A perfect dog friendly cottage with a secure garden and a beautiful meadow on the doorstep for morning walks. The owners were very helpful and responsive which was welcome as we found Sykes difficult to communicate with. We would stay again.

- Sheena, February 2025

“Wonderful relaxing stay in a lovely cottage.”

- Brian, September 2024
Brian May 2024

“The cottage was ideal for us and really good for our dog.”

The floors downstairs were attractively tiled so no worries about a muddy paw prints on carpets. Our dog loved the big hay field outside with mowed walkways for her to run round. Terry and Sarah-Jayne who ran the holiday cottages were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely come again.

- Brian, May 2024
Nick May 2024

“The cottage is in a great location and ideal for dog owners as the garden is secure with the bonus of an attached meadow.”

The cottage is spacious with a good usable layout. The single beds in bedroom two are uncomfortable and need updating. The bed in bedroom one is ok. The bathroom is adequate, however the shower leaks into the living room which needs cleaning up after use. The owner was very welcoming on arrival and left us alone for our stay. I would book this accommodation again.

- Nick, May 2024

Paula September 2023

“Just back from a fabulous week at Old Winery Cottage - our two dogs loved the garden ( totally secure) and having the use of the field opposite is such a wonderful bonus - dog heaven !”

Cottage was very well equipped and owners are on site if needed. Our first trip to this part of Cornwall - there’s lots to see , and we plan to come back soon .

- Paula, September 2023
Andrew August 2023

“What a wonderful cottage; well presented, with beams and slate flint walls.”

Bed was comfortable, kitchen well appointed and included a washing machine but no dishwasher; downstairs loo was fine, and the upstairs bathroom was well appointed with shower but no bath. Main bedroom cupboard had a rather distressing smell, with a few dead bugs. Wonderful fenced off garden, not even our ace-escape artist dogs could find a way out. Property faces onto a large meadow, ideal for the dogs; the rear of the property faces into what was once a farm yard; longish driveway and plenty of parking space. A couple of little niggles: TV is far too small, the floors were sticky (everywhere else was sparkly clean). The ten minute walk down the local pub is indeed ten minutes down a very steep hill; the one hour plus slow walk up, with multiple stops is challenging - especially when full of fish and chips :) Overall highly recommended accomodation in a beautiful part of the country!

- Andrew, August 2023
and Mr July 2023

“No welcome pack.”

Nothing left for the wood burner. Very dark in living room. No instructions of what to do with the rubbish.

Nicola July 2023

“Fantastic stay at the Old Winery Cottage in Golant.”

We loved the size of the cottage, the large garden which attracted many butterflies, and our cocker spaniel loved the meadow. Very well equipped cottage with all the essentials. The Fisherman Arms is a short away down the hill, and the fish there is exceptional, as are the views of the River Fowey. We would definitely recommend this cottage and area of outstanding natural beauty.

- Nicola, July 2023
Sarah June 2023

“This was our second visit to this property this year and I am sure we will back again too!”

Lovely place, comfortable (and a fantastic shower!), clean, ideally placed for anywhere you want to go and a wonderfully secure garden for the dogs, alongside the field opposite the garden gate, which the dogs loved. We had the pleasure of meeting Sarah-Jane whilst we were there this time and she was lovely and gave us plenty of tips on where to go locally. Mt friend and I look forward to returning many more times in the future.

- Sarah, June 2023
Neil May 2023

“We had a fantastic time, had a tithing problem that was dealt with instantly, fantastic use of the grounds, dogs loved it to, quant village, would book again.”

- Neil, May 2023
Chris May 2023

“This is a lovely cottage with its own garden and use of a beautiful meadow adjacent to the garden.”

The cottage has everything you need for your stay, good spacious, clean accommodation with a good shower and comfortable bed. It is perfect for bringing your dogs. The location is great with Golant being a lovely village with a great friendly pub that serves good food and has a lovely view of the river. Par beach is close by and it is very easy to visit surrounding areas from this location. Our second time here and we will definitely be back!

- Chris, May 2023
Steven April 2023

“This is a lovely, spacious cottage, the owners are great and the grounds are huge and perfect for our 2 dogs.”

We will certainly be staying here again.

- Steven, April 2023
Christopher April 2023

“This was a very cosy, clean and spacious cottage.”

It has a lovely enclosed garden, but the garden furniture could have been better. Great location, we had a fabulous week, the owner was very helpful and friendly. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

- Christopher, April 2023
Nicholas March 2023

“Very comfortable cottage in a beautiful, quiet & convenient location”

- Nicholas, March 2023
Sarah February 2023

“A wonderful stay and the pictures do not do the property justice.”

Very clean, comfortable and has everything you could need. The garden is secure for the dogs and the field opposite the gate, with lovely views, was very welcome for a quick morning walk with the dogs before heading out for the day. Lounge was comfortable and the recliner sofas very welcome after a long day of walking! Internet access is intermittent, sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, but this was no great shame to 'switch off' off for a while and a quick stroll up the garden path ensured mobile data could connect if needed. Overall, a great place for exploring - never more than an hour away from all the places we wanted to go. Loved it so much we have already booked to go back in June!

- Sarah, February 2023
Natalie February 2023

“Lovely place, ideal base for exploring, beautiful surroundings.”

Cottage very clean and cosy. Ideal enclosed garden for our dog. Would definitely stay again.

Melanie December 2022

“We highly recommend The Old Winery for a stay.”

The hosts were really prompt in responding to our queries. The cottage was very cosy, clean and was well stocked. Sadly they could do nothing about the awful weather but that made it even more pleasurable having such a cosy retreat to return to after a day out. We would definitely stay again! Thank you.

- Melanie, December 2022
Madeleine October 2022

“This is a great cottage!”

Safe, enclosed garden for kids/dogs and step over meadow to gorgeous walks - 10 mins walk to pub. Lovely family stay.

- Madeleine, October 2022
Anne September 2022

“Spacious and set in beautiful grounds with stunning views.”

Generally clean apart from a ball of hair behind door in double bedroom. Damp, musty smell near wooden dresser in lounge area which made sitting on the sofa nearby quite unpleasant. We had problems finding the refuse bags we were supposed to put the bedding and towels in so apologies to owners. Perhaps they, along with the recycling bags could have been left out as recycling instructions also unclear. Good pub recommendations so thanks.

- Anne, September 2022
Joanna August 2022

“Another happy stay at a Sykes Holiday cottage.”

It was very well located and ticked all the boxes. A couple of comments about the property. We couldn't get the TV to work (Mum happy about this - the rest of the family less so); the odd light bulb missing in the standing lamps and very creaky bed in twin room (the one nearest the door) and some pretty creaky pipes in the small hours. Otherwise it was well equipped and had everything we needed. A lovely part of Cornwall. Thank you to the owners and to Sykes Cottages.

- Joanna, August 2022
Gill June 2022

“One of the best cottages we have stayed in; great location, very clean and helpful owner.”

I'd especially recommend this cottage if you have a dog - a large meadow right outside the gate is ideal. We will be re-booking

- Gill, June 2022
Carolyn May 2022

“We had a fantastic time with our two small children - the outdoor space was stunning!”

- Carolyn, May 2022
Debra April 2022

“This was a lovely, cosy, interesting house in a really beautiful location.”

We had lots of space for our family, a big sitting room with a wood burner and lazy boy sofas which our kids loved. Upstairs there were good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds and lots of storage. Outside there was ample parking for our very large family car and great gardens. The location was absolutely great. Golant is a hidden gem which is very close to beautiful Fowey. We will definitely be back for a summer break with our wider family (there is another house right next door that can also be rented) and our kayaks and paddle boards.

- Debra, April 2022

Jo September 2020

“The location was perfect for getting around Cornwall.”

The cottage was charming and well fitted out. The garden was enclosed as specified and the field just outside was ideal for exercising the dogs before and after our days out. Would highly recommend and the owner was very welcoming and helpful. We will definitely be returning!

- Jo, September 2020

Sarah August 2019

“We had a really lovely week in Golant.”

The cottage was just right for us and the enclosed garden and field were ideal for our dog. It is certainly a beautiful area and we loved it. We visited some of the National Trust houses and gardens which were wonderful. Lots of walking in superb woods, amazing trees and just so relaxing.

Carol June 2019

“Great central location for getting around many parts of Cornwall all under an hours drive.”

Very peaceful and quiet location and the owner is very helpful and on hand if needed. Really enjoyed our two weeks here really nice cottage had everything we needed. Great for the dog who enjoyed walking in the adjacent meadow to the cottage. Only thing that let it down was the quality of the WiFi which was intermittent and had a very weak signal at times.

- Carol, June 2019
Sue March 2019

“Very friendly and helpful host.”

Very secure and dog friendly accommodation Very quiet and relaxing atmosphere Stunning countryside and coastline.....picturesque and very Easily accessed Some gradients are challenging Plenty to visit and within easy reach Would recommend and will return.

Stephen December 2018

“There was lots to do in the local area.”

The cottage was a lovely size and extremely quiet and relaxing. It was a fair jaunt to the local pub/restaurant and along unlit roads or paths so you either drive or stay in, which we enjoyed as we entertained ourselves. There was wi-fi although it proved unable to cope at times and there was no mobile signal - ok if you want to get away from it all. The owners were on site and extremely friendly and helpful. There were some lovely walks in the area and a good area in front of the cottage for walking the dogs. We came away after the holiday extremely relaxed and had some great sleeping due to it being so quiet and no light pollution.

- Stephen, December 2018

Michaela July 2018

“The Old Winery at Golant was a perfect place for families with dogs.”

Our Parsons Russell absolutely loved the field opposite the property where she ran and ran. An ideal location for exploring Poldark, Doc Martin and Rick Stein territory amongst other places. A delightful place and Terry and Sarah-Jayne were so welcoming and friendly. A very pleasant week was had by all.

- Michaela, July 2018

- Dirk, July 2018
Nicki April 2018

“Excellent cottage for families or couples with dogs.”

Sarah Jayne and Terry were very helpful and welcoming. Such a characterful cottage in a gorgeous setting, we really appreciated the peace and tranquility of Golant whilst being close enough to Fowey to be able to enjoy everything it has to offer. Our dog loved having her own field to play in before heading off in search of Mr Toad, Ratty and Mole along the Fowey estuary! We would love to go back and stay there again one day.

The property

The Old Winery offers a relaxing holiday in a stunning location to truly unwind.

One of the two Hybadore holiday cottages, The Old Winery is a spacious barn conversion complete with exposed stonework, beams and a woodburner adding to the character.

The setting could hardly be improved upon.

In the idyllic sleepy riverside village of Golant yet only 3 miles from the bustling beautiful yachting town of Fowey, this is a place to really get away from all the pressures and pace of everyday life.

You enter the cottage into the spacious stone floored hallway, kick off your boots and go through into the cosy living room which adjoins the kitchen.

There are 2 bedrooms here, a double and a twin which along with the bathroom are on the first floor.

With a choice of so many walks straight from the door, a gentle amble down the riverbank or a more strenuous bur most enjoyable walk along the Saints Way linking Fowey to Padstow there will always be lots to do and explore here.

Without a doubt the best way to see the river is to book a canoe or kayak trip from the village.

Whatever the age or experience you will be well catered for and enjoy a day to remember.For a more relaxing day, the large enclosed garden is perfect for al fresco dining whilst the surrounding private meadows offer perfect picnic spots A beautiful most comfortable cottage in a stunning location that can be enjoyed all year round.Note: This property can be a let alongside side ref 963322 and ref 961598 - in total these properties can sleep 22.
