Overview
It’s easy to let the day drift away at Amelie, as you lounge on the sofa with a cup of tea, watching the tide ebb and flow, the boats potter up and down and the light constantly shift on the Penryn River. The open plan space with huge corner windows is a perfect suntrap and you can wander out onto one of the decks for yoga or a nap, maybe take the rowing boat out to the nature reserve just down-river or watch wading birds dibbling for food on the mud banks at low tide - even the occasional inquisitive seal. Make the difficult choice between heading down to Falmouth or … just putting the kettle on again
Downstairs, (but still above the waterline!) you’ll find space and comfort for all the family with three cabins and a bathroom (with shower, double ended bath and composting toilet). Robin and Jane, creators of barge Amelie, have put the same enormous amount of care into limiting the impact on the environment as they have into the comfort of their guests. Biomass heating, rain water harvesting, electricity all from renewable sources and reclaimed and local wood are just some of the ways Amelie minimises her impact on the environment.
The quay is public access and neighbours the popular Muddy Beach Café, so you may occasionally see people wander past your window, but the activity of the harbour around you generally just adds to the nautical feel of the experience. Inside, with the wood-pellet stove going and the windows closed, the boat is a haven of peace. When you’re ready for adventure, take Jane and Robin’s tips on their favourite beaches and coastal walks, explore the town of Falmouth, just a 30-minute walk away, or get out on the water and go paddleboarding, surfing or sailing.
Amelie is a calm and contemplative space and not suitable for hen, stag or party groups.

Meet your hosts
Wildlife & Environment
Barge Amelie is moored next to eco-development, Jubilee Wharf in the heart of Penryn, one of the oldest market towns in Cornwall and just up the estuary from the arty, coastal town of Falmouth. The converted barge is moored in a quiet stretch of water, with a handful of neighbouring boats and captivating views down Penryn River towards Falmouth and Flushing, on the opposite side of the water.
Penryn River is tidal, with the barge spending some of the day on the riverbed, surrounded by mud, a haven for bird life. When the tide is out, you will see many birds including redshanks, egrets, curlews, kingfishers, godwits, cormorants, little grebes (dabchicks) etc. There is a set of binoculars for your use and a bird book for information. Seals will sometimes venture up the creek to peep into the windows! You will hear the curlews calling and the impressive sound of swans taking off and landing on the water.
Robin and Jane have crafted Amelie to use low energy, low impact technologies. These include wood pellet biomass heating from the pellet boiler stove, solar thermal hot water heating with a thermal store, a composting toilet and 100% renewables electricity tariff. Rain water is harvested, filtered and UV treated, with eco-friendly Faith in Nature and Ecover toiletries and cleaning products supplied to ensure water drained into the river does not damage the environment.
Materials used within barge Amelie are recycled and locally sourced, with all flooring downstairs reclaimed maple from a gym in Nottingham, a refurbished biomass boiler and thermal store, lining upstairs all scrap packaging and cladding untreated Cornish larch.
Our guests say...
Wonderfully unusual property, that works like clockwork. The views were fantastic from every aspect. We need to go back to see the seals looking in at the windows at you.

Sitting with a cup of tea on the sofa with the picturesque view down Penryn River towards Falmouth is all you'll need to keep occupied for hours. The eco barge feels like home the moment you disembark the quay and step aboard, as you ease into the rhythm of life on the water, slowly rising and falling with the tide. I'd highly recommend a visit to the Pandora Inn via water taxi, hiring paddleboards over at Gylly Beach in Falmouth and heading up to the North Cornish coast to experience the wild Atlantic.

Booking Terms
Canopy & Stars low price promise
Book with us in confidence knowing you won’t find that place cheaper elsewhere. All of the prices we display are set and matched by our Owners. (In this world of foreign currency, we do have to say 'subject to exchange rates' for some of our European places.)
What does ‘from price’ mean?
Our ‘from price’ is based on a four night stay in low season and designed to help you to compare different prices across our collection. Some of our Owners vary their nightly rates and check in days throughout the year, so it may differ from the rate quoted below the calendar. It is quite common (although by no means universal) for places to charge a little more in peak season or for shorter stays, to cover changeover costs. Consider booking longer stays during the cooler months if you’re looking for the lowest nightly rates.

The price charged in total for more than one Booking will always equal the prices charged separately for each individual Booking.

The Owner may charge the cancellation or amendment charges shown in their booking conditions (which may be as much as 100% of the cost of the Arrangements and will normally increase closer to the date of departure). The Owner may charge cancellation or amendment charges in accordance with its own booking conditions, however for the sake of convenience only, we have outlined the Owner’s charges at clause 2.3 and 2.4 below. Please note that these are the Owner’s own cancellation and amendments charges, not Canopy & Stars’, and therefore the Owner may vary their charges as they wish, without notice to us. The correct charges will be notified to you at the time of your cancellation or amendments.

2.3.1 Cancellation by you at any time will result in your deposit being forfeited, as all deposits are non-refundable.

2.4 Owner’s General Amendment Charges:
2.4.1 Alterations to your Booking can only be made more than 10 weeks prior to the check in date, after which time alterations will be treated as cancellation. All alterations are subject to availability and may incur a £30 adminstration fee.
2.4.2 Differences in the total amount payable resulting from alterations will be refunded to you in the case of a decrease in price and paid by you in the case of increases in price.
Special note: Generally Owners will charge the above cancellation and amendment charges, however we must stress that these are a guide only and charges may differ from those shown here depending on the Owner. The exact charges will be notified to you by the Owner at the time of cancellation and/or can be found in the Owner’s own booking conditions which are available from the Owner on request.
3. Changes and Cancellations by the Owner
We will inform you as soon as reasonably possible if the Owner needs to make a significant change to your confirmed Arrangements or to cancel them. We will also liaise between you and the Owner in relation to any alternative Booking offered by the Owner but we will have no further liability to you.
4. Complaints
Because the contract for your Booking is between you and the Owner, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. In the event that you have any complaint about your stay, please notify the Owner as soon as possible. If you don’t follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the Owner to investigate and resolve your complaint and so make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Delays may also mean that amount of compensation you may be entitled to may be reduced. Whether or not your complaint is dealt with satisfactorily, please also contact us as we appreciate all feedback. It’s important to us and the Owner to know that you’ve enjoyed your stay or if anything could have been improved.
5. Pricing
Canopy & Stars reserve the right to amend advertised prices at any time on behalf of the Owner. We also reserve the right to correct errors in both advertised and confirmed prices.Special note: changes and errors sometimes occur.
6. Information & Accuracy
The information and prices shown on this website are varied from time to time and may change between the time you first view a property and make a Booking. You should check that all the details are as you expect prior to making a Booking. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the properties (including the features and extras available) may be incorrectly described and/or priced. If we discover this is the case after you have made a Booking, we reserve the right to contact you with details of the correct information and/or pricing and will give you the option to:
(1) proceed with the Booking based on the correct information and/or pricing, which may require the payment of an additional amount by you;
OR
(2) subject to availability, change your booking dates to dates when the pricing can be honoured ad so no additional charge to you. In the event that a lower price can be offered for alternative dates then the difference would be refunded;
OR
(3) cancel the Booking. If we do not receive your instructions within 5 days of contacting you, we reserve the right to cancel your Booking without liability to you.
7. Our Responsibility for your Booking
Your contract is with the Owner and its booking conditions apply. As Agent, we accept no responsibility for the actual provision of the Booking. Our responsibilities are limited to making the Booking in accordance with your instructions and acting properly in accordance with our legal duties as an Agent. We accept no responsibility for any information about the Booking that we pass on to you in good faith. However, in the event that we are found liable to you on any basis whatsoever, our maximum liability to you is limited to twice the cost of your Booking (or the appropriate proportion of this if not everyone on the Booking is affected). We do not exclude or limit any liability for death or personal injury that arises as a result of our negligence or that of any of our employees whilst acting in the course of their employment.
8. Pets
Not all properties accept pets. If you wish to take your pet on holiday, please advise us before booking and we can check whether pets are accepted at the property. You must obtain the prior consent of the Owner before taking any pets to the property. A nightly charge may be made by the Owner for each pet and additional terms may apply.

Unless you tell us otherwise, we assume that all members of your party are British citizens who hold or will hold full British passports valid for the entire duration of the Arrangements you chose to purchase. Information on visa, passport and health requirements, where given and applicable, is so given on this basis. Requirements may change and you are therefore strongly recommended to check the up to date position with the Owner of the Booking, Passport Office, appropriate embassy or consulate or your doctor as applicable in good time before the commencement of your holiday.
11. Insurance
You are strongly recommended to take out personal travel insurance for all members of your party. It is your responsibility to ensure that the insurance you purchase is adequate and appropriate for your particular needs. Please read your policy details and take them with you on holiday.
12. Special requests
If you have any special requests (for example dietary requirements, cots or room location), please let us know at the time of booking. We will pass on all such requests to the Owner, but unfortunately, we can't guarantee that they will be met and we will have no liability to you if they are not.
13. Group Bookings
Not all Owners accept Bookings for a single sex group (for example, a stag or hen party). Guests wanting to make such a Booking should check with us beforehand to enable us to check whether the Owner is prepared to accept the Booking. We will then advise you accordingly. In event that an Owner does not accept this type of Booking then it is with regret, that the Booking may be cancelled and cancellation fees may apply. It is the Guest’s responsibility to enquire with Canopy & Stars and/or check on our website beforehand to make sure that this type of booking is permitted.
14. Maximum Numbers
Please note that except by prior arrangement confirmed in writing, only the number of persons specified on a booking confirmation may occupy a property. Most owners reserve the right to refuse admittance or revoke a booking if this condition is not observed and you are unlikely to receive any refund.
15. Your Responsibilities
Please note that you have a contract with the Owner of the property. As such you are under a responsibility to behave in a proper, appropriate and legal manner whilst staying at the property with due respect to the Owner, the Property and other guests and their property. You are responsible for informing the Owner of any losses or damage to the property as soon as possible. Please note that you will be liable to pay the Owner for any losses or damage to the property caused by you or a member of your party (except reasonable wear and tear). Some Owners will also require damage deposits. You must also leave the property by the check-out time specified on your booking. If any guest behaves inappropriately or improperly (of which the Owner will be the final judge on their Property), or illegally, the Owner reserves the right to ask the guest and their party (at their discretion) to leave the Property before the end of the holiday period and/or refuse any future bookings from you. Any refund for so doing will be at the entire discretion of the Owner. In addition, the Owner reserves the right to sue the guest for any loss, damage or injury caused to the Owner, the Property or to other guests and/or their property. As agent, we will have no liability to you in these circumstances.
