Offering fantastic views over the River Fowey as it heads out to sea, this delightful former fisherman’s cottage has been tastefully updated to provide cosy accommodation in a popular harbour town along the south coast of Cornwall. With ample space for up to six guests, the property features whitewashed stone walls, beamed vaulted ceilings and a lovely garden split across several terraces and overlooking the estuary. Close to the heart of Fowey with its wide range of friendly pubs and restaurants, this charming retreat is a great base for families and friends exploring the area’s picturesque fishing ports, quaint villages, secluded beaches and spellbinding countryside.
Entering the property, the ground floor has two cosy twin bedrooms alongside a handy utility room and refreshing bathroom. Upstairs, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner occupies the first floor, with a Smart TV, stylish central dining table, plenty of seating and a cheerful kitchen area, with glorious views over the river. Another flight of stairs leads up into the final bedroom: a sweet king-size room with beams in the low sloping ceilings, views across the river and an en-suite bathroom. Outside, there’s a small paved courtyard accessible from the main living area, with steep uneven steps leading to an extended terraced back garden over several levels, which has plenty of outdoor furniture and outstanding river views from the top.
An idyllic coastal town with a fabulous variety of places to eat and drink, Fowey is home to the Fowey Maritime Centre and Fowey Aquarium, and makes a great spot for boat trips and a range of water sports and activities. Perfect for exploring the coast and countryside of South Cornwall, local attractions include the famous Eden Project, The Lost Gardens of Heligan, Hidden Valley Gardens, Pinetum Gardens and the Shipwreck Treasure Museum, all within 14 miles.
