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 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.

We had a wonderful stay at Number Forty. The house is maybe even better than pictured. It was very well equipped with high quality finishes and furnishings and the beds were comfortable. The patio was a tranquil spot to enjoy the sunshine. Being so close to the center of Fowey was a bonus and the walk up to the car park just gave us an opportunity Read moreto work off some of the delicious meals from all the great restaurants in town.

Absolutely stunning cottage in the heart of Fowey. Beautiful decor and thoughtful lay out. One of the best we have stayed in. Once dropped car into carpark, didn't need it again as made the most of Fowey and the lovely walks and beaches.
