Set in the charming port town of Fowey, this holiday home is the perfect base for four guests on a Cornish adventure with a wide range of activities and locations to discover nearby. This chic property sits right in the centre of town, giving you easy access to all the restaurants, cafes and artisanal shops that Fowey has to offer. And if you’re planning a Cornish walking holiday, the cottage is just metres away from the South West Coast Path, with routes to Par and Polperro leading out of Fowey.

If it’s an airy and elegant feel you like in a cottage, then you’ll be pleased to hear that this accommodation offers both in abundance. With natural light and plenty of space throughout the cottage, guests can truly sit back and relax with ease. The open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner features a smart breakfast bar, a wide range of cooking amenities and a characterful wood burner. On the first floor is a double bedroom that offers a feature fireplace and front-facing windows, while the luxury bathroom on this floor boasts underfloor heating, as well as a lovely slipper bathtub. On the second floor is the cottage’s spacious master bedroom that features a king-size bed, exposed beams and stunning views of the estuary. Where the cottage truly excels is at the rear where you can find a charming terrace with glazed balustrades, a dining table, deckchairs, a BBQ and a splendid view of the estuary.

The property is situated a mere 300 metres away from the foot ferry to Polruan; the picturesque coastal village that sits on the opposite side of the estuary. Even closer, just 200 metres away is Fowey Town Quay from which you can board river trips and sea cruises to surrounding coastal villages and towns. Guests are also surrounded by stunning beaches, with Lantic Bay (4 miles), Par sands (4.5 miles) and Carlyon Bay (7 miles) all nearby.

Our stay at Number 40 was fantastic. Beautifully equipped cottage, spotless and comfortable. The position is perfect for all the towns facilities as well as easy access down the steep hill from the car park. We had a fabulous holiday and would happily stay again. Thank you

Probably the best holiday cottage weve had! Furnished to a high standard. Exceptionally clean throughout and a very comfortable bed. Great views and a perfect location to enjoy Fowey and the surrounding area. Couldnt fault it! Parking wasnt a problem. You can park in the main car park for a week for 26. It is only a short walk away but you do neRead moreed to be able to negotiate a steep flight of steps. Not an issue for us. A quick stop to off load luggage outside the property from your car is possible. We will certainly recommend the cottage to family and friends. Hide

We have had a wonderful week here at No 40. The cottage is beautiful, we really enjoyed the quality of everything. You have done a wonderful job restoring the house. We enjoyed opening the patio doors every morning and having our tea on the terrace. We also loved the list of "things to do" in the summer room and did nearly all of them! That was a lRead moreot of fun and gave us inspiration for the whole week. Many thanks for letting us stay at Number 40! Hide

We had a wonderful time staying at your lovely cottage during our first holiday week in England. We loved Mardy's Bakery after hiking in the Fowey area. We hope to return to the cottage one day. Thank you.

Thank you Number Forty! What a wonderful week we've had! Visited all the local spots-including Brown Sugar Caf and Pintxo which we highly recommend! But the true star of the show was the beautiful cottage that we returned to every day-such comfy beds! It may have been our first visit but it won't be our last. Back soon.

An absolute gem of a property just a short walk into the centre of Fowey. The property is furnished to the highest standard, great views from the master bedroom viewing window of Fowey Church, Place and the estuary. We felt very at home and were sad to leave !
