The Grade II listed former accounting house has been recently renovated boasting spacious and luxurious accommodation. Meticulously adorned with tasteful, calming colour palettes and exceptional furnishings, showcasing original features, antiques, and ornate fireplaces. The building dating back from the mid 18th Century once housed the customs office for the Gweek Classic Boatyard, and later became know as the “Counting House”. The ground floor welcomes guests with an entrance hall leading to upper floors. The dining area on this level includes a sizable dining table for 8 guests. The spacious living room features comfortable seating, large smart TV, Wi-Fi and stunning views of the Gweek Classic Boatyard and beyond. A private courtyard leads from the living room, offering an outdoor space with hot tub ideal for summer months. Along with the well-appointed kitchen, which offers all amenities for an easy self-catered stay, with additional breakfast table. The Old Counting House rooms are spacious, inviting, light and airy. The renovations are in keeping with its character, and a nod to its previous history.

Ample off-road parking is available on a spacious driveway, and the village of Gweek offers convenient local amenities, including a pub and a shop, as well as numerous scenic walks to explore.
