Property code: OC-73074

Perfectly situated on the banks of the River Fowey, this beautiful second floor apartment property is close to the ancient port of Fowey. Get lost in the old town's narrow streets, full of small, independent shops and eateries, or take stroll along the harbour, a haven for all manner of boats from kayaks to cruise ships, before returning to this lovely Georgian residence to sip a glass of wine on the patio or simply snuggle on the sofa with a good film.

Whether you are enjoying the uninterrupted views of the river or sipping your morning coffee on the patio, this waterside property meets your every need. At the top of the external staircase, the light and airy open-plan living space is complimented with simple yet comfortable furnishings providing a welcoming home from home, offering the perfect place to return to after a day on the water. Launch a kayak from the shared pontoon or simply stroll along the water's edge, then settle in for a cosy evening and delicious homemade meal before being lulled into a restful night's sleep by the river's gentle lapping outside.

With the South West Coast Path almost on your doorstep, while away the hours discovering spectacular views, secluded beaches and coves such as Parsons Cove (5 miles) and Lantic Bay (3.5 miles). Find independent shops and boutiques specialising in antiques, ceramics and arts and crafts in the hidden streets of Lostwithiel (9 miles), or make a day trip to the beautiful gardens and Victorian country house at Lanhydrock (16 miles) or take a tour at the St Austell Brewery Visitor Centre (17.5 miles).

Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, good power of shower. Nice view of estuary, though would recommend cleaning the bird deposits off the windows to help enjoyment of this.

Beautiful cottage - everything that's needed is there - stunning location and views. The pontoon makes boating so easy and therefore trips up the estuary and to Fowey or round the coast. Always one of our favourite places and holidays in the world!

Everything was great, had everything we needed, though the carpets had not been vacuumed in the master bedroom at the end of the bed, there was a pebble from the path . The floor in front of the armchair had black fluff from someones socks on it which I scraped up with a coaster. The bathroom had shower gel on the tiles, which made me wonder how clRead moreean it was, though it looked fairly good. I did take my own cleaning products in case. Beds were comfy and clean. Blinds let in too much light . Hide

The beds are terribly uncomfortable and gave us painful backs every morning. We complained to Management Services back in June, but nothing was done about it. A modern comfortable mattress is essential. The tv is old and should be replaced with a smart tv. The cleaner does a good job in keeping the place clean, many thanks. A double Air Fryer wouldRead more save a lot of energy. Hide
