The place to get way from it all in Cornwall

Our Location

River Valley is close to everything you’ll need to enjoy a holiday in Cornwall.

Getting here is simple as there are no narrow Cornish lanes to negotiate. You'll find us between St Austell and Mevagissey, nestled in the glorious Pentewan Valley.

The nearest beach is at Pentewan, just a leisurely 40-minute walk or 7-minute drive from us. There are plenty of other sandy beaches and coves on the Roseland peninsula and St Austell Bay just a short drive away. We're also on a bus route with a stop conveniently nearby.

The hugely popular South West Coast Path is a short walk away, along the Pentewan Valley Trail and the charming fishing villages, towns, coast and moorland are all within easy reach.

We are located next to woodland which is great for children and dogs to explore.
Cornwall’s best attractions are also easily accessible from our central location, including the Eden Project and Lost Gardens of Heligan which are close by.

You’ll find a wide range of amenities at St Austell and Mevagissey, Pentewan and Charlestown are close to hand.
