Riverside Exclusive Retreat

St Columb Major 2.9 miles. Riverside Exclusive Retreat is a unique holiday boathouse positioned on a small lake in Black Cross near St Columb Major in the gorgeous County of Cornwall. This retreat offers guests nothing but the best – there are two private freestanding baths, plus it is set in a great location for those who enjoy a bit of wild swimming. As you arrive for the ultimate couples’ getaway, you'll discover a lovely kitchen/diner where you can cook up your signature dishes before enjoying them at the dining table. Or, if the sun is shining, enjoy your meals al fresco on either the patio or private decking overlooking the lake. Alongside the main boathouse, you'll find an additional black building, a stylish space featuring a convenient kitchen area and dedicated dining area, ideal for leisurely breakfasts or romantic evening meals. Later on, you can unwind in the studio-style space of the boathouse with your feet up while you enjoy your favourite book. When the day comes to a close, get tucked in under the fresh linen of the double bed to refresh and recharge for a brand new day of adventures! Setting out from your abode, you will find yourself perfectly placed to explore Cornwall’s stunning north coast. Just a short drive north lies Newquay, famous for its golden beaches, epic surf, and the family-friendly Blue Reef Aquarium. Head south to St Austell, where you can wander the lush biomes of the Eden Project or sip local ales at the historic St Austell Brewery. To the west, Truro offers a more refined pace, with its charming Georgian architecture, boutique shops, and the striking Truro Cathedral rising above the rooftops. Whether you're seeking seaside adventure, cultural discoveries, or simply a Cornish pasty with a view, this peaceful retreat in Black Cross puts you at the heart of it all. After a day of exploring, return to the quiet countryside for a sunset drink on the patio, as the skies blush with coastal colour. Your perfect escape awaits at Riverside Exclusive Retreat.
