About Cargreen and the area
Enjoy the quiet tranquility of riverside living at Cargreen, a picturesque village on the banks of the river Tamar. Cornwall is a mystical kingdom, unspoilt and unsurpassed. Awesome cliffs shore up the coastline, arresting in the sheer scale of their splendour. Cornwall's heritage is still acted out in its tiny harbours, the landing of fish, mending of nets, stacking of lobster pots an endlessly changing tapestry. In its old inns, heaving seafood platters are accompanied by tales of vast pilchard shoals, midnight brandy runs, shipwrecks and heroic rescues. Cornwall has over 300 miles of spectacular coastline with vast golden beaches, secluded coves and picturesque fishing villages. The rolling surf draws watersports enthusiasts from all over the world.

4 Slipway Quay Sleeps 7 - Self catering holiday apartment
Slipway Quay comprises 4 large properties fashioned from a mill and warehouses that once stored cargoes from ships moored alongside. This is now a very tranquil stretch of the tidal Tamar Estuary, where from the marvellous balcony of No. 4 one can sit and watch the abundant bird life at both high and low tides, or enjoy the passing craft that ply their way from the historic dockyard of Plymouth to the upper reaches of the estuary to the National Trust's Cotehele House or Morwellham Quay, a 'living' Victorian village, port and copper mine. Cargreen is an off the beaten track, unspoilt, peaceful village with a pub and within easy reach of the rest of Cornwall and South Devon. The property is spacious, very comfortable and has outstanding views from every room , in fact it is not difficult to imagine one could be afloat as the balcony extends over the water at high tide! Crabbing lines and a fishing rod are provided too. This is an outstanding waterside setting.

The Boathouse is a delightful, detached, very romantic, stylishly furnished, waterside Cornish cottage situated on its own quay with water on three sides. All rooms have river views. Sit, glass in hand, in the comfort of the stunning conservatory and watch boats, birds and the wide stretches of the river flow gently past. This heavenly spot is set on the Cornish side of the Tamar in the peaceful village of Cargreen with glorious views from every room across the water to the rolling fields of Devon. St Mellion Golf & Country Club is a few minutes drive, further on are sandy beaches and excellent restaurants, with the Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, the historic City of Plymouth and much more, all within easy reach of this idyllic haven.
Golf is nearby at: St Mellion Golf & Country Club
St Mellion Golf Club has two 18 hole championship golf courses:
Jack Nicklaus Course
Jack has built in classic high tees with good views of the fairways, water hazards and the necessity to place the ball with precision in order to return a low score. Not a single hole on this challenging golf courses is mediocre - each one tests the best. The greens are constructed to the American specification of a sand and peat mix and seeded with special imported US grass imported to give a true putting surface that can be played year round. The medal tees play 6,000 yards for a real test of your golf. The course has a variation of tee positions, so that both the the club golfer and the professional golfer can stretch themselves.
Old Course
The 6000 yard "Old Course" at St Mellion is a championship golf course in its own right. Opened in 1976 it has many holes which will test the very best golfer. The bunkers are positioned to catch all but the very best shot, making it wiser to position the ball for a pitch to the green. The long par 4 third can be reached with two good shots. The twelfth is the most picturesque of the Par three's with the lake being quite awe inspiring to the nervous player.
