The cosy kitchen/diner is equipped with every appliance to cook up a storm, and a short flight of steps leads to the lounge, where comfortable furnishings sit opposite a Smart TV, perfect for a movie night. The property boasts two bedrooms – a double and a twin – and a stylish family bathroom. Step outside and unwind on your private lawn space and furnished decking. Alternatively, enjoy a morning brew surrounded by nature at the table and chairs at the front of the property, where guests will also find a shared garden.

Fabulous cottage with designated parking. Enclosed garden perfect for our grandaughter. Easy walk into Fowey town centre one way or down a pathway to the beach.

We had a very enjoyable stay at Dairy Cottage, located in a pleasant private rural setting being a 20-30 min downhill walk into Fowey town centre and harbour. We found the cottage full of character with ample living space as a base for a week's stay, which was also very cosy in the evenings. The accommodation provided just about all the essential iRead moretems you would need for a short or week's stay. Dairy cottage was in an ideal location to explore south east Cornwall, the accommodation also being close to a footpath which takes you down to Ready Money Cove, being about a 30 min walk. Kate, the owner, was very helpful and accommodating in sorting out some minor issues we had. Hide

Although the listing did mention nearby building works, it did not reflect the extent of the disruption. Parking was particularly difficult despite the property advertising a parking space. During our stay, we were asked to move our car on a couple of occasions because it was apparently obstructing deliveries for the building site next door, which Read morebecame quite frustrating. We were also not expecting dust from the building site to cover our car. On first entering, the cottage appeared fairly pleasant, but on closer inspection it didnt feel very clean. The television was usable if you had an Amazon account, which was inconvenient. There was no welcome note or information on arrival, which made the property feel rather impersonal. Overall, we left feeling very disappointed and unfortunately will not be returning. Holidaycottages reply: Thank you for your review. The external building work adjacent to the cottage has now been completed, and the housekeeping issues have been addressed. Hide
