Excellent property, extremely comfortable beds and bedding. Location worked well for us as we were happy to be by the car ferry. For guests not familiar with Fowey it is an uphill walk back to the property from the town, which is well catered for pubs, restaurants and cafes. The decking area provided great views though was very steep and not suiRead moretable for small children or people with limited mobility. Would highly recommend this property for large families and groups of friends. Hide

The Lookout is a large family oriented holiday home. It has great views of the river Fowey. As anyone knows parking is always at a premium and the car park is only a short distance away. Beds are comfortable which is a big plus. Our only concern was the garden area which is in disrepair and hindered our enjoyment. But having said this we had a grRead moreeat week. Hide

Our family of five had a wonderful stay at The Lookout. The location is excellent, just a two minute walk from Fore Street and equally close to the car park, which also has EV chargers. We especially enjoyed relaxing by the sash window and watching the boats go by. It was the perfect way to unwind. The bedrooms were comfortable, spotless and welRead morel equipped with everything needed for a week away. It is clear the owners have put great care and attention into creating a welcoming and peaceful place to stay. We would happily recommend the cottage and would not hesitate to return. Thank you for a lovely stay. Hide
